Staying active beats aging for long-term fitness gains
Inactivity drives most age related fitness loss, not aging itself. Active adults gain bone mass, maintain endurance and balance, and reduce fracture risk. Start gradual with doctor approval if over 50, seek group classes, wear proper shoes, and follow a plan combining endurance, strength and flexibility for 3 to 5 days weekly. A 70 year old can remain as fit as a sedentary 35 year old through consistent activity.
Pooch therapy linked to healing in elderly patients
Washington State University expert argues pet facilitated therapy may aid older Americans by lowering blood pressure and reducing loneliness. But doctors warn need for health checks, safety, and cost considerations before widespread use. Studies show modest heart-disease mortality benefits, yet cautions on overhyped claims persist.
