Seniors: how to keep in shape?
Stay active to stay fit: the key to well-being!
To stay in shape , you have two allies you should never let down. whatever your age : Physical activity and mental activity. But why is it even more important when you're a senior? After a busy family life and professional life, we tend to want to be at peace and tell ourselves that daily efforts are for the younger generation!
Think again!
First, regular physical exercise allows an improvement in what is called aerobic capacity: It is your body's ability to use the oxygen you breathe in. By practicing regular physical activity, this aerobic capacity is improved because you increase the density of your capillaries and the surface area of the alveoli in your lungs. Both of these phenomena result in better utilization and circulation of oxygen in your body.
This will also have overall beneficial effects on your entire cardiovascular and pulmonary system. Many chronic age-related diseases affect these two very fragile systems if they are poorly maintained. Also remember that physical activity maintains good blood flow to the brain, which will help maintain cognitive functions and neural connections.
Then, physical activity maintains for longer the good balance of bone density, which decreases physiologically with age, and the good balance of the immune and inflammatory system. Finally, staying physically active is necessary to slow the decline in muscle mass and strength.
Here are some ideas for physical exercises to keep you in shape: walk for 20/30 minutes per day, do weight training, simple exercises like push-ups, squats and light weight lifting for example, participate in classes Pilates, yoga or dance, gardening or even swimming, which helps preserve the joints, because the movements are fluid and without impact!
When it comes to brain activity, the brain is a muscle that needs to be maintained as such, and we must not forget that. Reading, educating yourself, solving sudoku puzzles or playing chess are some examples of very beneficial daily brain activities. In fact, it allows the improvement of brain plasticity, the stimulation of neurogenesis and areas of the brain linked to memory, learning and reasoning.
Next, water helps protect organs by helping them flush out toxins, maintain skin elasticity, prevent disease, and maintain bone density. For example, water helps protect the kidneys by facilitating the elimination of waste and toxins from the body. Hydration helps maintain electrolyte balance through minerals provided by water such as sodium, potassium and calcium which are essential for the functioning of muscles and nerves.
Water helps maintain electrolyte balance by allowing electrolytes to move freely throughout the body. Staying hydrated also improves joint lubrication, which helps reduce friction and joint pain.
Hydration also plays an important role in maintaining mental health. The brain needs water to function properly, and even mild dehydration can affect cognitive function and emotional well-being. Dehydration can lead to deterioration in mood, concentration, alertness and memory, as well as increased fatigue and anxiety.
For good hydration, it is recommended to drink throughout the day, a glass of water every hour for example. The ideal is to set a goal, such as drinking two 1-liter bottles of water per day.
