After creating a RSS feed this week, I
took some time to look at the information I subscribed to. As of recently I
have a newfound goal of being healthy, including eating right and being
physically active. As a result of this, I did subscribe to a couple health
related items. For example, the Fitness and Nutrition section of the NewYork Times.
One of the articles I found
particularly interesting is ‘Exercising to Age Well, Whatever your Age.’ It discusses a couple of different studies
with middle-age adults and how being physically active will affect their lives. I
believe that even people that are not educated in health could assume that
people that have been ‘healthy’ their entire life would live longer than people
who did not. However, the studies also show that being active drastically decreases
the chances that people will become seriously ill or disabled in retirement.
Future into it I found that the studies show that there is not a significant
difference in the results of people who have been active their ENTIRE life, and
those that chose to start being active when they are middle-age. Good news for
people my age! It is possible that we can wait another 10-15 years to start
really being serious about exercising to live longer, happier
lives! J
I think I will keep doing it now
though!
