Fitness For the Golden Years

Final Word on Diet, Nutrition and Health


For  those of you who watch what you eat, here’s the final word on nutrition and health.

It’s a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans..

5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION:

Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Advice to an old guy… an absolute heart-breaker.

An old guy was working out in the gym when he spotted a sweet young thing…

He asked the trainer that was near-by, “What machine in here

should I use to impress that sweet thing over there?”

The trainer looked him up and down and said,

“I would try the ATM in the lobby.”

Get Fit ~ Get a Dog

Spring is in the air and many people figure it’s time to keep those new year’s resolutions about improving fitness. Instead of the latest fitness equipment consider a dog!

Recent Studies have concluded that a dog might be a better get-fit motivator than a treadmill will ever be.

It’s obvious that dog owners are more likely to take regular walks than those of us who live canine-free. But these studies are stating that dog-walkers are typically more active in general than those of us without pets.

Of the regular dog-walkers they studied, 60 per cent of them met the federal (U.S.) criterion for moderate or vigorous exercise (30 minutes a day, five days a week). Only about a third of the dog-free study participants got that much regular exercise. And, yes, some of those dog-free individuals have gym memberships.

Slow walk or fast?

Good Exercise Program for the Golden Years

You know how important exercise is, as we grow older. Here are a few suggestions. I start by standing outside behind the house and, with a five pound potato sack in each hand, extend my arms straight out to my sides and hold them there as long as I can. After a few weeks I moved up to 10 pound potato sacks, then 20 pound potato sacks and finally I got to where I could lift a 50 pound potato sack in each hand and hold my arms straight out for more than a full minute! Next, I started putting a few potatoes in the sacks, but I would caution you not to overdo it at this level.

Weekly Fitness Routine – My Version of a Workout

weekly fitness routine

The Doctor told me, I should start an exercise program. Not Wanting

to harm this old body, I’ve devised the following:

Monday

Beat around the bush

Jump to conclusions

Climb the walls

Wade through the morning paper

Tuesday

Drag my heels

Push my luck

Make mountains out of mole hills

Hit the nail on the head

Wednesday

Bend over backwards

Jump on the Band Wagon

Run around in circles

Thursday

Advise the President on how to run the country

Toot my own horn

Pull out all the stops

Add fuel to the fire

Friday

Open a can of worms

Put my foot in my mouth

Start the ball rolling

Go over the edge

Saturday

Pick up the pieces.

Sunday

Kneel in prayer

Bow my head in thanksgiving

Uplift my hands in praise

Hug someone and encourage them.

Whew! What a workout!
