Decreasing Health Risks with Fitness
Great guest post by Kishana Sainte
Aging is something that
happens to us all. As we grow older our organs, muscles, bones and ligaments
lose their vibrancy, but there is one thing we can do for ourselves to combat
the negative effects of aging. Exercise!
Especially for people in
society that are over the age of 40, staying true to an effective fitness
regime is mandatory for improving and keeping a high quality of life. There are
a variety of different ways that exercising and staying fit can help a person.
Here are a few examples.
Reducing the chances of cancer:
A definite concern as we age is the risk of cancer. It is a devastating disease
that no one wants to face. Studies have proven that working out and staying fit
are your best bet in fighting the evil C. For example, experts say that a
committed fitness plan can reduce the chances of colon, breast and prostate
cancer, some as much as 50%. In addition, a regular fitness routine has shown
to be effective in lowering the rate of pre and post-menopausal women
developing cancer by nearly 30%. According to studies done by both the American
Cancer Society and the Nurse’s Health Study, exercise done at a mellow level
can reduce the possibility of cancer reoccurrence. Not only is exercise showing
to be beneficial for people avoiding cancer, but it is also positively
affective for patients undergoing chemotherapy as it assists with fatigue.
Increasing the capacity of
the aging mind: Another issue that becomes evident with age is the slowing down
of the mental capabilities and memory loss. Exercise has proven to be
beneficial for both increased retention of energy as well as reaction time.
Being fit and active has also proven to be beneficial in fighting Alzheimer’s.
Experts and doctors agree that low intensity exercise for patients of
Alzheimer’s helps with patient depression as well as better mobility. Sticking
to a fitness plan has also been
shown to be positive for patients of Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis
and other neurological diseases. Not only does it help in lubricating the
joints and avoiding becoming stiff, but it also helps with muscle loss.
Keeping a positive attitude:
Aging can be depressing at times. It is proven in a variety of studies that
staying fit and exercising is mandatory for staying happy as we age. Doing
activities such as yoga, meditation, running, and bike riding have all shown
themselves to be beneficial in reducing stress, depression, and anxiety.
Especially for aging people, staying fit is demonstrating a healing ability
where antidepressants have failed.
