the benefits of exercise

health

As the population most at risk for being diagnosed or burdened with chronic disease, those over the age of 65 will benefit from regular exercise to a great degree. Today’s research shows that each and every body tissue or system benefits from exercise. Furthermore, the data also shows that physical activity and exercise are extremely powerful in their ability to both lengthen life and enhance the quality of life.

 It is clear that exercise functions like a medicine, but can do so with a far broader spectrum of application than any single medication. Exercise is helpful for those living with Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), dementia, depression, frailty, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and so much more. 

Lifestyle changes, such as nutrition alteration and implementation of regular exercise have the power to help those with hypertension (high blood pressure), dyslipidemia (elevated cholesterol levels), atherosclerosis, obesity and type II diabetes. 

Research shows exercise helps by improving blood flow to the brain, reducing inflammation and levels of stress hormones, as well as promoting neurogenesis (formation of new neurons within the brain) through increased levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor and insulin-like growth factor 1. Those living with neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia or Parkinson’s disease should include regular exercise as a part of their care plan. 

Muscle and bone both respond to exercise, more specifically resistance exercise which helps to maintain lean muscle mass as well as bone density. Both are vital in reducing the severity of a fall should one occur. Those living with arthritis, lower back pain, and osteoporosis will benefit tremendously from exercise. 

Many of the symptoms associated with chronic conditions can often be made less severe with regular exercise. These include symptoms such as fatigue, rigidity, shortness of breath, tremors, loss of independence, and so much more.

your partner in successful aging

wealth

Many individuals view the costs incurred in exercise equipment, a trainer or a gym membership as an expense. Unfortunately, these costs are viewed incorrectly. 


As one ages, the likelihood of a move to a greater level of care needs increases year after year. The number one reason for a move to senior living is a decline in health. With that in mind, at LiveWell Health we like to show how an investment in your health can truly provide respectable returns each year. 

The same can be said when we prevent an individual from moving to a great level of care needs, such as a move from Independent to Assisted Living.
