Preventing Osteoporosis

The best medicine to maintain our mental and physical health is exercise. Exercise is the first line of defense for our bodies. It allows us to age more gracefully, and helps minimize what we used to think of as inevitable facts of growing older. We now know that gentle exercise can help relieve joint stiffness and pain. We know that exercise can strengthen hearts. And we are learning that exercise that strengthens the heart is also beneficial in preventing or delaying Alzheimer's and other age-related dementia. Exercise can also reduce the risk of some cancers.

Resistance training can dramatically help seniors. Why? It is the best way to prevent osteoporosis. A recent study showed that even people in their 80's and 90's can increase their strength and agility and protect bones with modest weekly resistance training. In addition, resistance training also improved the strength and agility of the participants. Even the blood pressure of participants was reduced as a result of resistance training.

The new Wellness Center, part of the Sunshine Terrace Foundation's services, now offers a comprehensive, senior focused, affordable plan to allow seniors to take advantage of the miracle that comes from modest exercise year round.

The Wellness Center is the only location in Cache Valley with a full range of exercise equipment that is specifically designed for seniors. This innovative equipment has all the benefits of a typical gym, but with added safeguards and features important to seniors.
