5. Stop saying no to exercise

This isn’t a rule that only applies to seniors, but it’s even more important for us! Whether you had a fast metabolism when you were younger or you were too lazy to have a workout routine, this is your chance to stop with those excuses.

You surely know that having a sedentary life can cause multiple problems, such as unhappiness, excess weight, a constant desire to consume unhealthy foods, body aches, health issues, and so many other things.

Regular physical exercise is one of the best things you could do for your mind and body because it will improve your cardiovascular health, put you in tune with your body, maintain your skin’s elasticity, keep your muscles strong, shed pounds, reduce the risk of chronic disease, make you crave good foods that nourish you, and so many other things.

Whether it’s walking, hiking, swimming, dancing, boxing, jogging, yoga, pilates, stretching, or strength training with small weights, exercising will make your life better, I promise!

  1. Well, you can obtain a heart/pressure monitor you place on your finger and monitor it yourself. Then you have peace of mind between doctor check ups

    1. Hi Carolyn, True what you said about the Blood pressure monitor, It is important and helps me to decide if I need a blood pressure pill or not. I have one here at home. I feel safer that way, especially because I have arteriosclerosis. Thank you for your tip.
