Meditation is like the foundation of a building. “If you want to build higher, you have to dig deep. The deeper and stronger the foundation, the higher the […]

Make exercise a daily habit – 10 tips

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
Whether you’re looking for motivation to start exercising, or are interested in changing up your current routine, here are 10 tips for making exercise a daily habit. Piece your workout together. You don’t need to get all your exercise at one time. Ten minutes morning, noon, and night can give much of the same benefit as 30 minutes all at once. Exercise with a friend. Finding a workout partner can help keep you on track and motivate you to get out the door. Keep it brisk. When you walk, make it brisk, since this may help control weight better than walking at a leisurely pace. What is brisk enough? Walk as though you are meeting someone for lunch and you are a little late. Move your feet before you eat. Hit the gym or go for a 20-minute walk with coworkers, and have lunch afterward. Try a pedometer. Step-counters (pedometers) are an easy, inexpensive way to motivate yourself to be active. Work up to 10,000 steps per day. Turn off the TV, computer, and smart phone. Cutting back on screen time is a great way to curb your “sit time.” Move around instead, by visiting the gym or even cleaning […]

Muscle Mass and Strength Decline in Older Women—But You Can Slow Down the Process

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
With tips for getting regular physical activity, engaging in strength-training, and getting proper nutrition, Tufts exercise scientist Roger Fielding explains how to stay stronger longer If, as you get along in years, you’re finding it increasingly harder to unscrew the lids of jars or to pick up your children or grandchildren, there’s a reason for that: sarcopenia. Sarcopenia, or age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, can lead to serious consequences, explains Roger Fielding, team lead for the Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, and Sarcopenia Laboratory at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts, and professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. “After the age of 35, both men and women start to lose muscle mass at a rate of about half a percent per year and muscle strength at a rate of about one percent per year,” Fielding says. “For women, sarcopenia is particularly significant because the peak muscle mass and muscle strength they achieve in their mid-thirties tends to be lower than it is for men. So, when they start to decline, they generally reach a critical level earlier in their lives.” Reaching that critical level means experiencing a diminishment of basic […]
