Over 50's Health and Activities

So you have hit the "Big O" now it is time to focus on your wellbeing and that means setting aside time for healthy activities and enjoying more healthy meals. I have searched the web for information and Ideas I feel will help you enjoy the journey.

An Australian study has found that walking for two and a half hours a week can significantly improve memory problems in the over-50s.

We have known for a long time that exercise is a great way to improve cardiovascular health, but it may be that in the future exercise can also be recommended to protect against the ageing brain'. The study was led by Professor Nicola Lautenschlager, the Chair of Old Age Psychiatry at the University of Melbourne.

"Having tried every diet under the sun I learned the hard way what cutting-edge obesity research now confirms - DIETS DON'T WORK!

You can't diet, but what you can do is transform your body into a body that wants to be thin. When your body wants to be thin it becomes your ally, it actually helps you lose weight. And I can tell you from first hand experience -There is nothing easier and more natural than losing weight when your body wants to be thin." Learn more by clicking on the follow banner.

50+ HEALTH & FITNESS;

The body is a living machine and needs certain ingredients to perform the many duties it has on a daily basis, we can do a lot to ensure a healthy system by changing our eating habits, getting fresh air and sunshine.
Even with a busy schedule it is important to fit this into your daily routine, also cut down sugar and fat intake. (Note; it is important to know which foods have hidden content). You could start by replacing one meal a week with a fresh homemade salad (do not buy pre-made salads, most have a fat content and may not be fresh) add lean skinless chicken, or trimmed ham, and it is also wise to eat at least one piece of fresh in-season fruit on a daily basis.

Tip; Buy fruit or Vegetables each day if possible or at least 2 times a week, it is important to realise that once they are harvested they start to loose not only their freshness but more importantly their essential nutrients, don't soak vegies long before cooking and leave skin on where possible.
