Alterations in Lifestyle -- Getting Older
Maintaining regular and optimal physical activity is a discipline of life for all of us, whether young or older or dependent on people or aids to do so. God has given us natural motivating biochemical elements in our brain, called neurotransmitters, to make it enjoyable.
Let's review the benefits of regular weight-bearing exercise:
• Increases muscle and bone strength
• Increases lean muscle and helps decrease fat
• Aids in weight control and is a key part of any weight loss effort
• Enhances psychological well-being and may even reduce the risk of developing depression
• Appears to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to improve mood
If children and adolescents exercise regularly, they benefit by normal skeletal development.
Even if you are not independently ambulatory , there are activities you can do to realize these benefits. Older adults need it to maintain strength and agility and reduce risk of falling.
Who are the people who show low rates of physical activity?
• Women of all ages
• Those with lower incomes and less education
• African Americans and Hispanics
• Adults in the northeastern and southern states
• People with disabilities
• Those over 75 years of age
We know there are barriers for some individuals such as: unsafe neighborhoods, too much responsibility in work and caregiving, lack of time, lack of companions, lack of motivation.

ORGANIC FOOD
Standards and Practice 
Organic gardening is growing food without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. "But gardening organically is much more than what you don't do. When you garden organically, you think of your plants as part of a whole system within Nature that starts in the soil and includes the water supply, people, wildlife and even insects. An organic gardener strives to work in harmony with natural systems and to minimize and continually replenish any resources the garden consumes. Organic gardening, then, begins with attention to the soil. You regularly add organic using locally available resources wherever possible. . . The other key to growing organically is to choose plants suited to the site." Learn More . . .
