Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium more efficiently, so it is possible that your doctor will recommend that you take a supplement for this. Other foods high in vitamin D, such as oily fish and margarine, should also be eaten regularly. Research has shown that elderly people, even those who have never exercised before, can benefit from physical activity. If you have not exercised regularly throughout your life, you should see your doctor before starting any new fitness programme. The frequency and duration of your activity is more important than how hard you do it.
Normal activity counts too.
Gardening, walking the dog, or choosing the stairs instead of the escalator will get your heart pumping and inject exercise into your day. To avoid injuries, always remember to warm up and cool down whenever you exercise. A warm-up can include five minutes of brisk walking followed by light, gentle stretches. Do the same after you ve finished exercising until your heart rate has returned to normal and you feel cool. All you need for exercising is comfortable, loose clothing that is suitable for the weather and a good pair of well-fitting shoes.
