Over 50? Keep moving!

A Vision Paper released by the International Council on Active
Aging reported physical activity is a great means to prevent age-related loss of function, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, maintain and improve mental and physical health and generally maintain a higher quality of life.

Physical activity in older adults can reduce the risk of heart disease, some cancers, hypertension, high cholesterol and obesity; mediate hypertension, diabetes and depression; lower the risk of falls and injury; and improve sleep. Research results have become so frequent and so convincing that an increase in physical activity is recommended for older adults by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Administration on Aging, Surgeon General, and many other organizations.

30 minutes a day, five or more days a week of physical activity is recommended. Use your BioTainer to monitor your caloric burn.
