CARE for your Independence!!
As we age our muscles, joints and bones undergo physiological changes, greatly affecting our mobility, which ultimately could impact our freedom to move, and cost us our independence in the long run. So cherish and take CARE for your Independence and freedom to move and stay active. Some of the initial signs of aging that are visible would be posture changes, experiencing fatigue, chronic pain and weakness after physical activity and for some even everyday tasks, slow muscle recovery and sore muscles after a workout, feeling stiff in the mornings, and so on.
As we age, we start losing muscle mass and that could be as early as age 40, and it accelerates after age 50. Loss of muscle mass leads to a decrease in muscle strength, affecting your mobility and range of motion over time. This is a fact of life that can’t be prevented but could be prolonged and minimized with a 5 Step Proactive CARED Approach to maintaining our musculoskeletal (muscles, joints, tissue, bones) health.
- Consume a balanced and healthy diet
- Address nutritional Inadequacies with supplements
- Relax your body, mind, and soul
- Engage in daily physical activity
- Doctor visits for routine check-up
Whatever your dreams are, if you don’t consciously and proactively act on them, nothing ever happens. They stay in your mind and build up frustration and anguish over time. Proactive action will keep the creativity of your dreams alive.
“In health there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties” – Henri Frederic Amiel
