  • …we experience many changes in our cardiovascular system. Our arteries stiffen and our heart increases in size, contributing to increased blood pressure and decreased blood flow. This also increases receptivity to free radicals such as LDL cholesterol. These changes increase our need for oxygen while impairing our supply of oxygen. Over time, this may result in a cardiac event such as heart attack. 💧💧💧 One of the best ways to combat the effects of aging on your cardiovascular system is to engage in physical activity. Exercise forces your heart to pump more blood around your body to your muscles and lungs. This relaxes blood vessels over time and makes your heart run more efficiently, both of which lower blood pressure. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity (ex: brisk walking) physical activity and 2 days of muscle strengthening activity.

  • … we tend to lose all types of muscle fibers responsible for slow contractions, long duration actions, fast contractions, and short duration actions. Loss of muscle fibers for all genders begin by age 25. This is due to a host of hypothesized phenomenons, including interrupted electrical activity that recruits muscle fibers into action. Thus, the lack of stimulation of muscle fibers may contribute to the validity of, #useitorloseit as we age. 💦 🌊 💙 💧 One of the best ways to maintain muscle fibers and motor actions is to engage in #physicalactivity Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving.

  • … our bodies go through structural changes that affect our respiratory system. Some changes include decreased elasticity in smooth muscle, loss of efficiency in mucus and cilia, and decreased breathing capacity. These changes begin around age 20, and by age 70, we are typically at 60% of original respiratory capacity. Basically, everything gets stiffer and thicker. When we lose elasticity, we have less effective exhalation and less oxygen in circulation. Another common structural change includes kyphosis (hunching of our upper back) due to loss of calcium in vertebrae, loss of neck and back muscle tone, and decreased thoracic activity. 💧 💧 💧 One of the best ways to maintain and improve our structural, thus respiratory functioning is to engage in physical activity.
