New Year, New You: Practicing Active Aging in 2020
Home Instead Senior Care offers ideas to help older adults stay active throughout the year.
As a new year begins, it’s an ideal time to establish healthier habits for seniors to stay independently at home. For most, making time for physical activity, even a few times a week, can be greatly beneficial for overall health, but this is especially true for older adults.
Regular exercise for seniors has been shown to increase cognitive function, prevent many common diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, improve mood, strengthen bones and even reduce risk of dangerous falls. Despite the benefits, the United Health Foundation’s 2019 Annual Report, showed more than 31 percent of Americans age 65 or older reported participating in no physical activity or exercise other than their regular job in the past 30 days.
No matter your age, increasing physical activity and focusing on active aging can help you live a longer, healthier and more independent life. This year, find new ways to achieve your health goals.
