5. Take Up Tai Chi
If you feel that you can do more than just walk for 30 minutes a day, then health experts recommend taking up the ancient Chinese tradition of Tai Chi. You won’t become Bruce Lee any time soon, but this gentle exercise that combines slow movements and deep breathing will feel like meditating while you move.
The reason it comes so highly recommended by health professionals is that not only can it help relieve stress, improve your balance, strengthen muscles and increase flexibility it has two more valuable assets for older people. One of the top causes of injury in older people is accidental falls, so this will help you lessen the risks. Also, most people over age 60 have osteoarthritis to some degree, and although arthritis can’t be reversed, it can be managed, and this is the perfect way to do it.
