Got the magazine, "Health Connection your health, your life" from Crossroads Community Hospital today. Want to pass on something I read in it. "The Myth of the Aging Metabolism" "You've heard the excuse before-- "When I was young, I could eat what ever I wanted. Then I turned 40, and my metabolism slowed to a halt." The truth is, your metabolic rate doesn't slow down, because of your age, but rather because you loss muscle mass as you age. According to the National Institutes of Health, sedentary adults lose about 8% or more of their muscle mass every decade after age 40. You can't stop aging, but you can prevent muscle loss through regular physical activity. Try these tools to preserve your muscle mass and keep your metabolism strong.
Exercise Band - These giant rubber bands provide resistance to stretch and tone your muscles without harmful impact to your bones.
Kettlebell - popular among fitness buffs, kettlebells enable ballistic exercise, a unique combination of aerobic, strength and flexibility training.
Medicine ball- Medicine balls filled with water can offer a harder challenge. As the water sloshes around inside, it requires more muscle engagement to control the ball.
(Consult your primary care provider before starting a new exercise regimen.)
Found the article very interesting; hope you do too.
