For years, we’ve been told that smoking is bad for our health. We know it increases our risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and other serious illnesses.
But what about sitting? According to experts, sitting is the new smoking. And like smoking, it can have a negative impact on our health. Studies have linked extended periods of sitting with an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
Sitting for long periods of time can also lead to back and neck pain. In fact, some researchers believe that the negative health effects of sitting are so significant that they may even outweigh the dangers of smoking.
So what can we do to reduce the risks associated with sitting?
For starters, WE CAN STAND UP!
For many seniors, the latter third of life can be a time of great uncertainty. With retirement often marking the end of a career, and declining health making it difficult to remain active, it can be easy to feel like life has lost its purpose. Many people retire from their careers and find themselves with more free time than they know what to do with. Others may no longer have the same hobbies or interests that they once did. But research has shown that having a sense of purpose can greatly improve your health and well-being, no matter your age.
There are many ways for seniors to achieve a longer health span AND FINDING PURPOSE is often central to this goal.
