Ageing: Exploding the myths

We are all ageing – every day of our life. John
H. Glenn, Jr. was 77 years old when he went into space for a second time as part of a
scientific experiment to explore the secrets of ageing. Every one of us started to age
before we were born and we continue to do so throughout our entire life course. Ageing is
a natural process and should be welcomed, because the alternative would be premature
death. more..

Do I need to see my
health care provider:

During the first 4-5 weeks of your program focus on developing the habit or pattern of
being physically active. Try to be active on a daily basis, performing 12-20 minutes of
physical activity. You get some health benefits from exercising as little as 6-10 minutes.
So, remember that some exercise is ALWAYS better than none! You can also try two sessions
of 10 minutes to accumulate (or add up) 20 minutes of physical activity.more.. |
