I certainly hope I don't develop any form of the disease and as a person who consistently engages in some type of daily physical activity, I am actively reducing my chances of developing Alzheimer's disease. Medical studies indicate that exercise helps to keep the brain intact thus reducing the risk of developing diseases such as Alzheimer's. Blood flow and increased oxygenation to the brain cells are some of the benefits of exercise, not to mention a good reason to Take 5 to Exercise each day.
In fact, in Day 5 of my Take 5 to Exercise series where we Take 5 for Maintenance, I encourage viewers to "use that imagination" as we do some of the exercises. Stimulating your mind as you challenge your body is a great combination.
Although falls are associated with aging, they are not a normal part of aging and they can be avoided. If you or a loved one is starting to fall more often, there are things you might want to consider:
1. Are you taking a new medication?
2. Are you drinking enough water?
3. Are you eating enough?
4. Is there enough lighting in the house?
5. Are you getting enough of the right exercise?
The "right" exercise that will help reduce the risk of a fall is my Take 5 to Exercise program. I specifically address the components of an effective Fall Prevention exercise regime, all while sitting. Don't stress the small stuff like, "Am I doing this right?", "What am I forgetting to do?", "What else did that Fall Prevention lady mention?"..... order my product, sit back and have fun as I coach you through effective movements designed to reduce your risk of a fall and stimulate your brain.
Life is tough, time is short. Or is it life is short, times are tough? Either way, I've produced my series to help people reduce the risk of a tragic accident. Falls are accidents and accidents can be avoided but it's up to you to do your part. Visit www.take5toexercise.com and do your part today.
The Fall Prevention lady.
