Baby Boomers Beware - Avoid Boomeritis!
Just in case you didn't believe us at No Sweat Fitness Express, the December 19, 2006 issue of The New York Times confirms the need for exercise.
In an article by Jane Brody, it states that "30 minutes of walking each day is not enough."
In addition to walking and aerobic exercise, which improves your cardiovascular system and promotes endurance, there is a dire need for exercises that promote strength, flexibility and balance. These exercises can greatly reduce injuries from the demands of daily life.
The CDC reports that musculoskeletal injuries are now the No 1 reason for seeking medical care in the United States and are the leading cause of death in men and women over 65 years of age.
Unless you do something to slow the natural loss of bone and muscle mass that accompanies aging, you will be subject to something orthopedic surgeons call “boomeritis”. The Baby Boomer generation is pushing itself to the limit and their bodies are typically ill-equipped to keep up the pace. Physicians are seeing more arthritis, tendonitis, “fix-me-itis…” and patients have the idea that modern medicine can fix anything. Au contraire, it is good, but not God. It is much better to prevent a problem and disease than to try to fix it. (Do you really have the time or resources to get sick?)
How to reverse the aging process and keep healthy? Listen to the wise words of your Mom “ Eat right, get plenty of exercise (that includes cardio, strength training and a flexibility program), drink 8 glasses of water a day and get your sleep!”
At No Sweat Fitness Express we help you stay on track with your life goals by offer a complete exercise and nutrition program that includes not only the cardio, but the strength training and flexibility program that you need as well as the missing link in your diet - essential GLYCONUTRIENTS.
