Fighting Old Age

It was officially recommended that people with 65 and over must do a weight lifting at least twice a week to ensure good health. But a new study shows that only 11 percent of the elderly are actually reaching for the dumbbells. Including my mother aged 78. What's worse, only six percent of this group are fitting in a cardiovascular workout as part of their regular routine as well. For those who need a reminder or can cut this out and pass it along to loved ones: which I did with my mother who is now actively hit the weight stack and profoundly can walk from being lame and bed ridden for 7 years. STARTING at the age of 50, people begin losing 12 percent of their muscle strength ans six percent of their muscle mass every decade. This is the reason why my mother was not able to walk before. She lost a massive muscle mass. What's shocking is that by weight training for two to three months just three times a week, the over-65 man or woman can increase strength and mass of their muscles by one third. I guarantee this to those aged people. I've been using the weight lifting to my mom and really she can now stand alone without holding a cane. A three decade of lost muscle regained in three months. But why should the elderly be concerned with muscle mass. You ask?
Weight training can reduce chronic diseases such as heart problems, diabetes and cancer. Reminds me of my Mother's ancestors and kins which most of them died in cancer. That's why when my mother begin releasing blood through pooing, really scared the hell out of me. Only to find out that what causes the bleeding is the pain re-leaver she was taking. She was taking this for muscle and bone pain (arthritis), whatever. Muscle work out reduces her to take  pain re-leaver medicines and until she no longer needs it.   Besides health, exercise is also known as the fountain of youth and will keep you looking younger and longer!
No one in my heart can replace the beauty of my mom.
