Staying healthy as you age

Maintaining lifelong healthy habits is key to ensuring a fulfilling and vibrant life as we embrace the ageing process. At Right at Home Cardiff/Newport, we believe in celebrating the wisdom and experiences that come with age while empowering individuals to nurture their bodies and independence for years to come.

Staying Active and Fit:

As our bodies change over time, adapting our physical activity becomes essential. Sustaining an active lifestyle significantly reduces the impact of age-related health concerns. Whether you've been committed to fitness or are starting later in life, continuity in your routine is pivotal. Ageing adults commonly face challenges such as decreased muscle strength, balance issues, joint discomfort, and lower energy levels.

Adjusting your routine gradually is key if you feel unable to maintain previous levels of activity. Our guide covers exercises suited to various fitness levels, from gentle stretches to aerobic workouts.

Returning to Exercise after a Break:

Life interruptions happen, and resuming your routine might feel daunting after a hiatus. However, easing back into it with simple steps, like taking short walks or engaging in basic muscle exercises during breaks, can smoothen the transition. Reintroducing your routine gradually and seeking guidance from healthcare professionals can ease challenges along the way.

Adapting as You Age:

Small modifications in your routine significantly impact overall health. To prevent joint issues and cardiovascular diseases, maintaining muscle mass through protein-rich diets and incorporating mobility and flexibility exercises is vital. Prioritizing heart health by reducing sugar intake, moderating salt consumption, and opting for healthier fats complements your fitness regime.
