RE: Physical Activity is a Must for Maintaining Health When We are Elderly...But How Much is Needed?

I loved your article and I absolutely agree with it. Exercising helps to increase our metabolism that naturally slows with age, to improve our immune system, lower risk of diseases such as diabetes or osteoporosis. It also improves our strength and flexibility, which help with balance, coordination and reducing the risk of fall.

Thanks for giving it a read through. Indeed it is sooo important to remain active as we age. Our bodies biochemistry is complex, and the equlibriums we are used to can change over time, exercising likely keeps certain beneficial proteins being expressed that might not be if we are more sedentary.
