No one is spared --no the athletically gifted or we mere mortals. Throughout human history people have been engaged in a relentless pursuit to attempt to offset the inevitable process of aging with a myriad of techniques ranging from ancient forms of magic and remedies, to laser surgery and large scale manufactured medicines which all promise to defy the laws of nature and provide us with longevity. However with the great emphasis for so long that has focused on material products as a means of staving off the effects of aging, perhaps we have accidentally ran past the benefits that basic physical and mental exercise can provide for the elderly. More recently there have indeed been an increasing number of health and well-being specialists that have been advocating for the use of more traditional exercise methods to combat the symptoms and diseases related with the aging process of the elderly. The symptoms of aging are varied and tend to be attributed to a wide range of factors that occur towards the later years of our lives. But the main point to stress is the actual lifestyle changes that we either voluntarily or involuntary adopt throughout the aging process. As we move towards retirement, we all tend to become less active than we were. In fact, some studies have reported that as few as 20% of people over the age of sixty-five are involved in a sufficient level of physical activity. Furthermore, as we become less active our metabolism slows down as well, decreasing our appetite and preventing the adequate dietary and metabolic patterns recommended for people of that age. The combination of less and less physical activity and poor metabolism can accelerate weight gain, cause depression and, decrease your sexual appetite -- all of which leads to a poorer quality of life. Before you get started, it is important to identify and select the correct balance of exercises for your current health. Many people may wrongly place a large emphasis on strength training and neglect other forms such as aerobics and flexibility and, by doing so, they increase their chances of injury. We also need to be smart and selective in the types of exercises we engage in. For example, if you have joint problems, choose swimming instead of jogging for increased back strength and less stress on your knees and ankles. Top 7 Ways Exercise Reverses Aging 1. Exercise Keeps You Sexually Actively A good sex life is one of the best ways to keep you young and healthy mentally and physically as the act itself also provides further opportunities for exercise in our senior years. Exercise will not only make you feel younger, confident and sexy but will as well significantly increase your level of sexual performance such as increased endurance and endorphin release and reduced incidence of erectile dysfunction. A study in 2014 revealed that sixty year olds who engaged in frequent exercise had the same amount of sex and sexual satisfaction as someone nearly twenty years younger than them. 2. Exercise Reverses Aging Skin Forget the creams and lotions, new research that from McMaster University in Canada in has discovered that people who exercise or began exercising in their elder years are capable of having the skin of someone twenty to thirty years younger than them. The study, conducted in 2011, took a sample of people between the ages of twenty and eight four years old, around half of which were engaged in three hours of exercise per week. The sample also included a number of sixty-five plus year olds who were not active previously but began exercising at the beginning of the test and a group who barely did thirty minutes over the same period. A biopsy was conducted on each of the participants and the results proved that those who exercised had a much higher quality of skin including, interestingly, the group of previously inactive older participants. 3. Exercise Encourages Muscle Growth As we grow more and more inactive in our later years, our metabolism slows down as well. When the metabolism slows, it decreases our appetite, making it more difficult to get adequate nutrition. AS a result, our muscles start to atrophy, a condition known as "sarcopenia". The combined effects of physical inactivity and poor metabolism can be devastating. Dr. William J. Evans from the American College of Nutrition in December 2004 released a report that examined how exercise fights sarcopenia. Evans explains that exercise is vital for the break-down of body fats and the stimulation of appetite in order that the elderly can meet their recommended levels of protein nutrition. Strength and endurance training for muscle growth in the elderly also helps to prevent falls and broken bones and provides a greater degree of independence and mobility. 4. Exercise Fights Arthritis Arthritis affects an enormous number of people. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that in 2013 as many as one in five people living in the United States had some form of doctor-diagnosed arthritis. That would mean that over 60 million people suffer from this debilitating disease. Light endurance exercises such as swimming and walking aids joint movement and helps give the muscles around the joints strong support. Other exercises that encourage a wide range movement such as Tai Chi can prevent stiffness and aching. Mindfulness can also help a great deal. Studies that were led by Dr. Heidi A. Zangi at the Diakonhjemmet Hospital in Norway in December 2011 revealed the importance of ‘mindfulness exercises’ in combating the stresses related from arthritic pain. The Swedish study highlighted the benefits in which positive thinking and relaxation couples with creative tasks helped reduce the level of stress suffered by arthritis patients. 5. Exercises Slows Down Dementia In 2012 the World Health Organization estimated that nearly 36 million people worldwide were living with dementia. Those figures are projected to double by 2030 and triple by 2050, making dementia one of the most pressing health issues in modern times. Not only is exercise essential for adequate blood flow to the brain which provides the stimulation needed for new brain cell growth, it also helps reduce the levels of stress, anxiety and depression all of which are common amongst dementia sufferers. Studies conducted by Cambridge University in 2011 found that people who engaged in just one hour of exercise per day were able to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s by nearly 50%. These studies also noted that having midlife obesity is one of the greatest factors contributing towards Alzheimer’s and other dementia- related illnesses. Men are at a higher risk for developing a form of mild cognitive impairment sometimes called "pre-Alzheimer's", studies have found. For this reason, you should make sure that you start a regular program of exercise and keep it up for each decade of your life. 6. Exercise Helps Prevent Chronic Disease One of the most important ways to reverse aging is to reduce your chances of an early death from chronic disease. A report released by Booth et al in 2012 showed that people severely increase their rate of chronic diseases such as obesity, Type 2 diabetes, heart attack and stroke by remaining inactive and living long term sedentary lifestyles. Exercise has proven to be vital for the proper functioning of the body such as maintaining good heart health and blood flow to the body, both of which are necessary for an optimal quality and length of life. 7. Exercise Fights Osteoporosis The bone-thinning disease of osteoporosis is not just a woman's problem. Men, too, suffer from osteoporosis. Weight-beariung exercises such as strength training helps to increase bone density and decrease the risk of osteoporosis.
