Medical Trifecta And Senior Balance Exercises

Senior Balance Exercises For Medical Conditions

   Healthcare providers recommend daily fitness exercises and senior balance exercises  to help avoid the trifecta of medical issues. Please see http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Medical professionals refer to the popular health issues of diabetes, stroke and heart attack as the "Medical Trifecta"  that can significantly shorten ones lifespan. For example, a 60-year old senior with two of these has a reduced life expectancy of 12 years, says the new research. Additionally, it is not surprising that with a history of all three, this older adult can expect their longevity to be about 15 years shorter. Furthermore, medical researchers estimated even greater reductions in life expectancy in patients with multimorbidity at younger ages, such as 23 years of life lost in patients with 3 conditions at the age of 40 years. In this analysis that included nearly 1.2 million participants and more than 135,000 deaths, mortality associated with a history of diabetes, stroke, or heart attack was similar for each condition, and the risk of death increased substantially with each additional condition a patient had, according to a study in the July 7 issue of JAMA. Unfortunately, the prevalence of cardiometabolic multimorbidity --a tongue-twister defined as a history of 2 or more of diabetes mellitus, stroke or myocardial infarction (heart attack)-- is increasing rapidly. On a more positive note, all three of these medical conditions respond well to a series of fitness exercises to reduce the severity of the disease effects. Before initiating a physical fitness regime, however, it is critical to perform specific senior balance exercises to establish a proper base of stability to avoid falls while exercising.

Senior Balance Exercises For Fitness Programs

   For better overall health, medical professionals like doctors, nurses and physical therapists suggest that older adults participate in physical fitness activities which include cardiovascular exercises, strengthening exercises and senior balance exercises. One potential equilibrium routine to practice includes standing on one foot for about twenty seconds. This single leg standing routine helps to develop needed stability for other more advanced fitness programs. You can follow along with the single leg standing exercise and other senior balance exercises in the comfort of your own home with the Exercise For Balance DVD.
