Your finances are not the only thing you need to think about when it comes to retirement. You also need to think about your health and wellness, and that starts with being physically active.
According to an article by The Globe and Mail, “physical activity isn’t just about adding years to your life, it’s about adding life to your years, particularly in retirement.”
Physical fitness helps seniors maintain muscle, which is essential for independence as we age. Physical activity reduces the risk of chronic diseases. It also improves balance, reaction time, and neuromuscular control, which can reduce the risk of falls and related injuries. Exercising also lends itself to social interaction, which can combat loneliness.
Council of Seniors Wants to Support Older Americans
The Council of Seniors strives to help seniors stay safe physically and financially.
We are working diligently to get Congress to passThe SAVE Benefits Act. This crucial bill will put $581 back in retirees’ pockets to make up for Social Security cost-of-living adjustments that were far too low for years.
Sign our petition today to support our efforts. Congress has ignored the growing number of seniors expecting action for way too long.
