Seniors on the
Move
ACTIVE LEISURE
W
hile regular exercise is recommended for promoting health and longevity, not everyone is able to engage in vigorous activity. Fortunately, older adults can reap many of the benefits that come with regular exercise by simply being more active during their leisure time. Electing to move around rather than sit helps cut the risk of cardiovascular problems. Research shows that seniors who are active in their leisure time had a 30 percent lower risk of mortality from any cause and were 27 percent less likely to suffer a first-time cardiovascular event than their sedentary counterparts. Active-leisure seniors were also found to be metabolically healthier, have smaller waist measurements, have higher “good” HDL levels, and lower triglyceride levels. At NOTRE DAME LONG TERM CARE CENTER, we understand how critical it is for seniors to remain active. We offer a wide variety of activity options to meet all levels of strength and ability. To learn more, reach us today at (508) 852-3011 and visit us at 559 Plantation Street. Learn how we earned our superior reputation! P.S. Active leisure may include taking the stairs instead of an elevator, not driving around looking for the parking space closest to your destination, and walking to places that are ten minutes away on foot.
