The 20th March is the International Day of Happiness! Did you know that having a happy, positive outlook on ageing actually has a physical impact on how we age? Having a negative attitude toward ageing makes us walk slower and cognitively decline faster. So having a positive outlook can actually lead to healthier ageing all on its own.

Healthy habits are also easier to stick to if they bring you joy. So, do what makes you happy! Choose to move more in ways that suit you, whether that's gardening, swimming, or dancing! Make your healthy choices fit you and your life, and enjoy an achievable healthy ageing journey.

Did you know that women age differently than men? Going through menopause shifts the body's hormones as women age. Despite being as susceptible to the same ageing concerns as men, on average, women live about 5 years longer.
March 8th is International Women's Day. It has been celebrated for over a hundred years, acknowledging the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women and acts as a call to action for women's equality. Find out more about it here https://www.internationalwomensday.com

Longer daylight hours and more sunshine give us more opportunities to get out and about! Spending time outside improves both our physical and mental health, increasing our wellbeing and quality of life. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D, which is crucial for bone health and supporting our immune systems. Getting out of the house will also increase your social interaction, so why not meet up with friends or go for a walk somewhere new?

If you would like some support with getting out and about, Age UK have a fantastic range of local services to help you https://www.ageuk.org.uk/directory/search/service

The LifeCurve Gym is all about getting yourself moving in small, achievable ways now so that you can maintain your independence in the future. As the weather starts to improve, let's get outside and find ways to move more in ways that suit you.
Many of the movements we do naturally in our everyday activities mirror those found in a gym. Walking along the beach on the shifting sand can be challenging and is a great exercise to develop leg strength and balance. Reaching down to pet your dog or tie your shoelaces regularly will improve your range of motion and keep you flexible. Practising balancing movements will help support our bodies when we are walking outside over rougher terrain. You don't have to join a gym to improve your strength and independence; there are so many movements we can practise in our day-to-day lives that will support us as we grow older. Find a way to move that you love to do and Get Yourself Moving today!

As our bodies age, we naturally lose muscle strength and power. This can lead to needing help with everyday activities, and even increases risks such as falling.
Because we know this is what happens when we age, it would be ideal to start the ageing journey with strong muscles. However, a lot of us may start to lose ability before we take steps to strengthen our muscles. Thankfully, it’s never too late to change! Even small improvements can make a huge difference to your strength and independence. You can start to build and improve your muscles with strength training today!

Everyone has someone they care about who may one day stop being able to do the things they want to do. When this moment happens it can be a crucial conversation point to start to talk about healthy ageing and how we can help them to continue to be able to do the things they love to do.

Going to a football match isn't just a hobby. The walk provides exercise, fresh air, and the chance to meet up with friends and family and do something together. If you are starting to become less confident with your mobility, it can be tempting to stop going. But this is a slippery slope. If you are struggling to access a hobby or activity you have always loved to do, now is the time to start the conversation. Reach out to loved ones and be open about how you are feeling. Go earlier to the event to avoid the crowds and be able to park closer. Take The LifeCurve Quiz and be matched with movement routines that will help you to maintain your strength and mobility to be able to walk up and down those stadium steps! Get started today.

Did you know that people who view growing older in a negative way and believe that it means that they will no longer be able to do certain activities have been shown to have a slower walking speed and a faster cognitive decline than those who view ageing with a positive mindset? How we think about ourselves, our ageing journey and our abilities has a physical impact on what we are able to do. Healthy ageing is a choice. When we choose to include functional exercises, healthy eating and a positive mindset, we are able to maintain our independence and overall health for much longer.
