Exercise is the most effective way to stay fit and fine. And even then it’s the regularity that helps a whole lot. However, many people begin with a lot of gusto and give up just as quickly! The latest trend nowadays especially among the baby boomers is surprisingly, swimming. It is one form of exercise which is least strenuous but as effective as a full body workout in the gym!
As our bodies age, our metabolism tends to slow as our activity levels reduce and it is not uncommon to get a bit of a tummy. Stomach acid and saliva production are reduced making it more difficult for the body to process food. As a result, we are less able to obtain the nutrition from the foods we eat. In particular, we can easily become deficient in vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid. As well, many enzymes and coenzymes that are essential building blocks of the body or digestive aids, are produced in far fewer numbers or in some cases are not produced at all. This can all sound a bit too scary, but don’t worry. There are some simple steps you can follow to keep you healthy and your body functioning at optimal level.
