Some seniors
are reluctant to exercise because of the
mistaken belief that exercise is bad for
older people – especially those with various
diseases and disabilities – because it puts
too much of a strain on your body. As you
age, the body does take a little longer to
repair itself, but moderate physical
activity is good for people of all ages and
of all ability levels. In fact, the benefits
of exercising regularly far outweigh the
risks.
Remember
that your body was meant for movement, and
just like a car or a bike needs to be used
to keep working properly, your body needs to
be used to function best.
Just as a
proper diet and engaging activities can help
you live a more fulfilling life, physical
activity will yield a multitude of physical,
mental and psychological benefits. Some of
the benefits that result from regular
exercise:
- Feel
and look better
- Self
Confidence – Being active and feeling
strong will naturally help you feel more
self confident and sure of yourself.
This improved sense of well being might
help your overall mood and attitude
about life.
-
Contentment – Natural endorphins
produced by exercise may actually help
you feel better and alleviate sadness or
depression.
- Sleep
Better – People who exercise regularly
tend to sleep better than those who
don’t. They usually fall asleep more
quickly, sleep more deeply and awake
less often during the night. Some
fitness experts believe that a very
short period of moderate activity in the
evening, for example a 10 minute walk
after dinner, will help you sleep more
deeply at night. It is important to note
that if you regularly experience
problems sleeping, the general
recommendation is to exercise early in
the day rather than in the evening
because exercise can keep you up at
night. Having exercised earlier in the
day should help you sleep better though.
- Mental
Acuity (Alzheimer’s Disease Prevention)
– New research shows that regular
exercise can help prevent Alzheimer’s
disease and dementia. Exercise helps
encourage regular brain functions and
can help keep the brain active. Exercise
can also provide numerous benefits for
patients of Alzheimer’s including
reduced risk of depression and improving
memory and circulation.
