SENIORS NEED EXERCISE TOO!

I know it sound corny but it is trite to say we all need to exercise more. Seniors even need to get up and move around more so.In a recent   Australia report  found " the more time  sitting still, the greater our risk of death."


After tracking 8,800 people for an average of six years, they discovered that people who watched more than four hours of TV a day increased their risk of dying from any cause by 46 percent, and dying from cardiovascular disease by 80 percent.

Seniors spend way  too much time in front of their  TV because of boredom. Care must be taken to watch out for this. Twenty minutes three times a week can make a huge difference and add several years to one's life.
