Many elderly don't exercise enough, this is also the case in many care and nursing homes. While exercise is very good for you, exercise sets everything in motion in your body. It ensures that your motor skills remain at a level and that you do not become stiff and rusty from sitting in the same position all the time.
By moving you start up everything in your body, your blood circulation and breathing. Due to the improved blood circulation, more oxygen enters your brain, so that your memory continues to work well for longer, and it stimulates your metabolism, which improves your resistance. By exercising you also maintain your muscles and bones. As a result, the bone density decreases less quickly and you prevent bone fractures.
And perhaps most importantly: It improves your mood and gives you energy!
