flexibility exercises are just as important
cardio, strength, and power walking!
Are you that regular stretching helps:

3 improves your posture
4 alleviates muscular tension throughout
your body!
5 boosts nutrition supply to your muscles
6 improves your mental state
How long does it take to see results in
stretching?
You should begin to see results within in
2 to 4 weeks!
Should you stretch in the morning or evening
Stretching first thing in the morning can
relieve any tension or pain from sleeping
the night before.
It also helps increase your blood flow and
prepares your body for the day ahead!
Stretching before bed relaxes your muscles
and helps prevents you from waking up with
more pain!

you stretch?

knee pain?
How bad Is being overweight for your knees?
Excess weight puts added on your joints,
particularly knees, causing pain and
worsening arthritis damage!

force on your knees by 30 to 40 lbs with
every step you take says Dr Kevin Fontaine

Hopkins University!

6/4 Hey Seniors are you eating too much free sugar?
Seniors limit free sugar intake to less than 25 grams, or 6 teaspoons, per day!
There is that much sugar in 2 1/2 chocolate chip
cookies, 16 ounces of fruit punch .
A Doughnutut has around 15 to 30 grams of sugar,
according to the Cleveland Clinic!
The authors of this articlecle reducing
consumption of sugar sweetened beverages to
less than 1 serving of a 12 oz soda!
Opt for sweetened fruit slices instead of sugary
drinks and have a fresh or frozen dessert instead
cakes, cookies, or ice cream!
Getting enough good qualityi sleep 7-9 hours on
a regular basis also helps “ as we tend to choose
foods higher in sugar When We Are Tired!
Cutting back gradually can help you train your
taste buds to Crave less sugar!
“Our lives will end up being sweeter with less
sugar in our diets”

6/3. Hey Seniors how are your sleeping these
days?
A dead give away that you are getting proper
sleep is that you can remember your dreams,
when you wake remembering your dreams it
means you woke up in REM sleep!
So many Seniors say that they have been
unable to remember their dreams for years!
When you get deep restful sleep which is REM
sleep , Then You Are Waking Up In REM sleep
That Is A Really Good Sign That You Are
Getting Sleep!
The average person that has a normal
healthy blood sugar response with proper
sleep is basicallyl sleeping the entire night
without having issues!

6/2. Hey Seniors There Is Not Too Old
Your cells, your muscles, joints, organs, brain,
tissues, etc responds at any age!
You can get positive results even if you start
lifting light weights at 80 years and older!
Your chronological age has very little to do
with your actual physical well-being!
So a 50 year old smoker has the lungs
capacity of an 80 year old!
How We Function On A Daily Basis Is What
Matters On A Daily Basis!
THERE IS NO TOO Old!
Your cells, your muscles, joints, organs,
tissues, brain, etc responds at any age!
