Continuing our Spring Alive In All Seasons focus on healthy
again, we continue to let wellbeing thrive with a May focus on Fitness. Staying
fit throughout all seasons of life is possible and at Juniper we promote
fitness every day of the week! We recently shared on our Facebook page a New
York Times story, authored by Gretchen Reynolds, providing results from the
Mayo Clinic who recently conducted an experiment on the cells of 72 healthy but
sedentary men and women who were 30 or younger or older than 64. The volunteers
were randomly assigned to a particular exercise regimen. There were some
unsurprising differences: The gains in muscle mass and strength were greater
for those who exercised only with weights, while interval training had the
strongest influence on endurance. But more unexpected results were found in the
biopsied muscle cells. It seems as if the decline in the cellular health of
muscles associated with aging was “corrected” with exercise, especially if it
was intense, says Dr. Sreekumaran Nair, a professor of medicine and an
endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic and the study’s senior author. In fact,
older people’s cells responded in some ways more robustly to intense exercise
than the cells of the young did. So pick up those weights, get on that bike and
remember it’s never too late to benefit from exercise. And if you’re not doing
so already, follow us on social media so you don’t miss a thing.
We invite you to Grow Strong Daily along with us with
programs such as Fitness Five and our Route 66 Walking Program. Learn more about
fitness and keeping your heart healthy at our Heart Healthy Luncheon and
educational presentation. Staying fit throughout all seasons of life is
possible.
