Erase Age with Exercise
A snapshot of all the ways staying fit can keep you healthy for years:

1- Better Memory:

Exercising at least 3 times a week at a moderate to high intensity can reduce odds of mental decline like dementia by 46%, according to a study of adults over the age of 55.

2- Stronger Bones:

Lifting weights twice a week can boost bone density and decrease falls by 40%, reports a study of 246 women ages 65 and older. Participants also stretched and did balance exercises 2 days a week.

3- Healthier Body:

Women who walk at a brisk pace at age 60 are up to 200% more likely to remain disease free at age 70, compared with casual walkers, found the Nurses Health Study.
