Walking is not such a difficult thing — most of us have been doing it since we were very young
According to Caroline Richardson, professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Michigan, walking programs can be very effective in helping people get into shape, improve their cardiovascular fitness levels and to some degree loose weight. Walking does seem to be better than more vigorous
activities, especially for older people. Richardson‘s five tips for starting a walking program: Find a buddy with whom you can walk regularly. Use a pedometer. This will help you to keep track of your steps and can be an excellent motivator to see how much you are walking.
Schedule regular walks in a PDA or calendar. This helps to ensure you have a set time for walking every day. If you have any medical problems check with your doctor to make sure a walking program is safe for you. Start slowly if you need to—just get started. (http://life-after-fifty.com)
LEEF SO MET OSTEOPOROSE SAAM Osteoporose is ‗n siekte van beenverlies waaraan duisende mense ly. Dit kom veral by mense van 65 jaar en ouer voor. Enige iemand kan osteoporose kry, maar vroue is veel meer geneig om dit te kry as mans. Navorsing toon dat een uit drie vroue en een uit twintig mans osteopo-

NGV GAAN MEDIESE FONDSE VERANDER Rolspelers is dit eens dat mediese fondse waarskynlik in die toekoms anders gaan funksioneer as tans. Mediese fondse gaan bv.die Nasionale Gesondheidsversekering aanvul en daar wees vir nienoodsaaklike dienste.

RETIREMENT VILLAGES: WAITING LISTS Retirement villages have always been known to have long waiting lists before occupation of a cottage, free standing home or apartment. But things are changing and there are a number of reasons for this. People who have been on a waiting list are often prepared to sacrify their right to access because they feel that they are still not ready for the move.
It is also not uncommon to place their names on multiple lists and once they have found suitable accommodation they no longer have the need to be on the waiting lists. Then there is the recent substantial increase in the number of private developers who are entering the market of retirement villages. None of us can predict what is going to happen in the future. We never know how our circumstances are going
to change. There is nothing worse than not having plans for your future accommodation requirements. Being on a waiting list is like having an insurance policy and probably the best value for your money too. Therefore think
about it to put your name on a waiting list!
SAVE OUR PLANET It is that time of the year again, National Arbor Month is upon us. During September let us do our part to save the environment by planting a tree in our gardens. Every year three trees are chosen as National Trees of the Year. This year‘s trees include the jacket
plum, bride‘s bush and the common wild elder. The jacket plum is a evergreen tree that likes warm gardens where it will grow between two to eight meters in height and produce red cherry fruits that birds will enjoy. Bride‘s bush has dainty, sweetly scented flowers
in midsummer and the common wild elder is a winter flowering evergreen tree that can grow to 20 meters in height. Not all trees will be suitable for your area, so it is important to choose the right one. Enquiries: www.lifeisagarden.co.za
