    Remaining active is in an important aspect of staying healthy and alert in old age. As we get older, we have a tendency to become sedentary. We watch TV or read rather than socializing. Finding hobbies to participate in and activities that involves interaction with others provides many health benefits, such as prevention or reducing heart disease, diabetes, various cancers, and in some cases arthritis. Strength and endurance does not fade as quickly and increased brain activity can delay or prevent many types of diseases such as dementia or Alzheimer’s. For many [url=http://www.sandiegohomecareassistance.com/\]senior[/url] citizens, gardening provides exercise and stimulation. They can care for their plants and flowers, babying new blooms and coddling seedlings. For other senior citizens, learning to paint, or play an instrument is preferable. A mix of activities will help keep you interested in life and the world around you. Joining groups that have planned activities can provide you with the opportunity to meet new people and socialize. Garden clubs teach their members about different types of plants and shrubs and how to make them flourish. They encourage conversation and the exchange of ideas between members. Learning new things, participating in activities and maintaining social contact with others can help keep our brains active and alert during old age. Learning to play an instrument or refreshing skills that have long been unused is a good way to boost brain health. If you prefer to sing, there are many choirs specifically for senior citizens. In either case, these are activities that promote interaction with others. They are not strenuous, but require energy and interest. Many of the adverse affects normally associated with old age can be reduced, or in some cases, dissipate when stimulation of this type is experienced on a consistent basis. Exercise is important in all stages of life. It can help prevent or reduce to onset of osteoporosis in the elderly. Additionally, it can help keep the mind sharp, increase muscle tone and improve the overall health of [url=http://www.sandiegohomecareassistance.com/\]senior[/url] citizens. Games that encourage concentration and focus help keep the brain stimulated.
