10 Reasons for Seniors to Exercise
By Dr.Lanny Schaffer
It\\\'s no secret that our bodies change as we age. Some changes are obvious, while others are more subtle. Many people age comfortably and remain active, alert and vibrant while others experience the effects of degenerative diseases and lose their ability to fully participate in life. Here are ten reasons why all seniors should participate in regular physical activity:

1) Regular exercise can prolong your life.

2) Exercise strengthens your heart and protects against heart disease.

3) Exercise decreases bone loss associated with aging.

4) Exercise reduces the the effects of chronic diseases like diabetes.

5) Exercise enhances self-esteem.

6) Exercise increases strength and flexibility which are necessary to perform daily functional activities.

7) Exercise helps reduce depression and anxiety which are common amongst the aged.

8) Exercise increases cognition and memory.

9) Exercise increases overall energy levels.

10) Exercise increases metabolism and helps lower body fat.

And the list of benefits goes on. The good news is that exercise doesn\\\'t have to be strenuous to be effective. The key for seniors is to just get out and move!
