Exercise Myth!!!!

Exercise Myth: 
"There's a powerful myth that getting older means getting decrepit,"  It's not true, "Some" people in their 70s, 80s, and 90s are out there running marathons and becoming body-builders." (not me of course, I hate running)!
 A lot of the symptoms that we associate with old age -- such as weakness and loss of balance -- are actually symptoms of inactivity, not age, (Alicia I. Arbaje, MD, MPH, assistant professor of Geriatrics and Gerontology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore)
Exercise improves more than your physical health. It can also boost memory and help prevent dementia, or what I call Sometimers!
It can help you maintain your independence and your way of life, or just having social interactions with people your own age!  
If you stay strong and agile as you age, you'll be more able to keep doing the things you enjoy and less likely to need help, of course always keep a bottle of Aleve or Mortin with you!!
Hope you're enjoying you summer so far!!  See you next week!
