Walk for Health: The Best Medicine
Walking is a underrated form of exercise, possibly because its results aren’t as quick or as obvious as those supplied by running. But as this video demonstrates, walking is probably the best form of exercise out there. It can be performed by people of all ages and is the perfect mix of weight-bearing and low-impact exercise—in fact, walking gives people the osteoporosis-fighting benefits of weight-bearing exercise without the joint-damage of higher-impact activities, such as running. In addition to its physical benefits, walking has also been shown to help slow the progression of dementia and to help alleviate depression.
You can’t find a better form of exercise for most seniors than walking, and you can’t find a better assisted living and retirement community than Carlton Senior Living in Northern California. Carlton Senior Living is a great retirement community that also has a reasonable cost for assisted living. For more information, call (888) 291-3752 today.
