Midlife Minute: Being Fit Matters NOW

Published in: Cardiovascular Health, Chronic Diseases, Fitness, Health, Midlife

Do you have aging parents? I do, and to watch them suffer with various ailments is so heartbreaking. Living to an old age, while a blessing, is in many ways so very difficult – it’s a good thing places like https://www.immanuel.com/ exist to help the elderly in need of assisted living. It can be hard especially if you’re plagued with ongoing health problems.

That’s one thing to keep in mind if you need some motivation to exercise.

Get up and move!

A new study finds that people with higher fitness levels:

Live a little longer

Have a later onset of chronic disease

Can reduce their risk of several chronic conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, kidney disease, COPD, angina, circulatory problems, stroke and lung and colon cancer.

It’s not about living forever – but living better, improving the aging process and living longer without health problems.

The time is now.

Lace up your sneakers and go out and move!

    Sheryl, I’m on board! I see how the lack of fitness and good nutrition has saddled both of my parents with diabetes, obesity and a slew of health problems. It’s been enough to make me exercise!

speaks realistically about what happens when we approach our 50’s and beyond

I think your website is GREAT!  It's hard to find an online space that speaks realistically about what happens when we approach our 50's and beyond.  Keep writing, and thanks for your support."

I’m writing to express my admiration for the work you are doing!

I'm a young medical writer trying to get a foothold in the industry, so the portfolio you have on your website showcasing your accomplishments is something that I'm aiming to achieve.

I don't want to take up too much of your time, but I am hoping you can share some advice, tips, or guidance as I work on this, my lateral career change!

Thanks for taking the time to read this - I know you probably have much more exciting things to be doing, but just know that your work is inspiring me to continue down this writing path.
