We do not stop exercising because we grow old, we grow old because we stop exercising.
~ Dr. Kenneth Cooper
Getting Fit After 50 – or at any time of your life – has many benefits. For those of us over 50, the benefits include improved weight management ability, reduction of age-related diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular, some cancers, Alzheimer’s and metabolic syndrome, stronger bones and muscles, and a higher quality of life with a better mood, less chance of falling, better recovery if you do fall, and improved chances of living longer.
OUR MISSION
To help people 50 and over live longer, healthier lives by providing science-based fitness, nutrition & weight management information.
Health is much more dependent on our habits and nutrition than on medicine.
~ John Lubbock
A quick analysis of the leading healthy approaches to nutrition reveals one thing they all have in common: eat fresh, whole foods, mostly plants. Include anti-aging foods in your diet to dramatically improve your health and longevity. Foods to focus on include raw organic eggs, dark green vegetables, blueberries, garlic, nuts and seeds, beans and legumes, and healthy fats such as olive oil, avocados, and omega-3 fats, along with modest amounts of lean animal protein.
