⚠️ Heart disease remains the greatest health threat to seniors. ⚠️ But prevention *is* possible through awareness and proactive management of risk factors. ❤️ These risk factors go beyond core indicators like blood pressure, cholesterol, activity, and smoking status. As Edo Paz advises in a new article, it's also vital that seniors know their average resting heart rate 🫀 and what it means for their health. Thanks to Yolande Clark-Jackson for explaining why in this excellent piece on Care.com: https://lnkd.in/e6WmTzPy #SeniorHealth #HeartHealth

Matters of the heart ❤️ Did you know that 7.6 million people are living with heart & circulatory diseases in the UK? Every 3 minutes someone dies from a heart or circulatory disease and every 5 minutes someone is admitted to hospital with a stroke, also in the UK alone. That’s 1 in 8 men & 1 in 14 women. Heart disease is as common in post-menopausal women as it is in men. It kills more women than breast cancer does. Risk factors include high blood pressure (an estimated 30% of adults have high blood pressure but less than 50% of those are receiving treatment) Another one is high LDL cholesterol levels and over 7 million people in the UK take statins. I think that education about how to help someone having a cardiac arrest is so much better - CPR is more widely taught & it’s great to see so many old phone boxes adopted as defib housing (see link in comments for more info). But, is it me or is the attitude to heart health largely cure rather than prevention? We all (I hope) know some of things we should do - diet, exercise, lifestyle etc but why don’t heart health supplements / self care regimes boom in the same way that we have seen beauty or gut ones? There’s some well studied nutrients for heart health but we don’t talk about them as much as we do compared to other health needs. Should we add statins to common foods as a precautionary measure? Out of sight out of mind? Tomorrow’s problem? 🤔 *stats from BHF #hearthealth #cholesterol

THE IMPACT OF REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ON REDUCING CHRONICLE DISEASE RISK IN ELDERS Engaging in regular physical activity is one of the most effective ways for seniors to maintain their health and well-being. Studies show that consistent exercise can reduce the risk of chronic diseases—such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers—by up to 40%. Physical activity helps improve cardiovascular health, regulate blood sugar levels, and boost the immune system. Additionally, it supports healthy weight management and reduces inflammation, both of which are crucial in preventing chronic conditions. By staying active, seniors can significantly enhance their quality of life and longevity. Here are five key benefits of physical activity for seniors, highlighting its role in reducing the risk of chronic diseases: 🏃♂️ Improves Cardiovascular Health Regular exercise strengthens the heart, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. 🍎 Helps Control Blood Sugar Levels Physical activity helps regulate insulin levels, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. 🏋️♀️ Strengthens Bones and Muscles Weight-bearing exercises increase bone density, lowering the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. 🌞 Boosts Mental Health Exercise releases endorphins, helping to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. 🚶♀️ Enhances Mobility and Balance Regular physical activity improves flexibility and balance, reducing the risk of falls. #SeniorWellness #Elderlycare #website #blog #SEO
