Importance of Staying Physically Active for Longevity

As we age, our bodies become weaker and more prone to diseases like dementia and heart disease. Staying physically active is crucial for maintaining health and longevity. There is no one-size-fits-all fitness routine for everyone, and people often do not need to change their exercise program as they age. Both women and men can benefit from the same exercises as they get older. Cardio exercise and strength training are equally important for healthy aging. The misconception that there is one specific exercise or training style that everyone should be doing is untrue. What truly matters is the physiological challenge we put on our bodies, and there are numerous ways to achieve this.
