Research shows
that regular exercise in one's later years will counter some of the natural
loss in how the heart and lungs function. In fact, physical activity can
improve their function by the equivalent of as much as 10 to 15 years
of aging. The same kind of improvements can be expected in strength and
flexibility. Furthermore, weight-bearing activities contribute to strong
and healthy bones.
Also you don't have to be super fit to realize these benefits. You must
do what's right for you. |
