Physical Vitality

Physical activity builds physical vitality. With every year of your life, you have more to gain from being physically active. As your age-related risks of chronic disease increase, regular physical activity generally slows that trend. Some research suggests that the heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) benefits you get from physical activity may also help your brain stay healthy.1 In fact, you're even more likely to notice the benefits of regular physical activity if you already have a chronic condition, such as depression, coronary artery disease, or diabetes.

What are the benefits of being physically active?

On a daily basis, being physically active improves your quality of life by improving your:

  • Energy level.
  • Mental sharpness.
  • Mood (regular aerobic exercise can help manage depression, anxiety, and stress).
  • Balance, strength, and flexibility, which are key to preventing injuries and falls.
  • Odds against chronic illness. Physical activity also often helps manage chronic illness with fewer medicines.

As you get older, an inactive lifestyle increases your risk of chronic disease. Conversely, getting regular aerobic exercise is one of your best defenses against chronic diseases such as:

If you already have a chronic disease, becoming physically active may decrease your need for medicine to treat or control it.

I'm not physically active right now—how do I start?

If you've been inactive for awhile, you don't necessarily have to set your sights on becoming athletic—your first goal is to simply start moving more each day. Before you do, though, get off to a smart start by seeing your doctor for a full physical examination. Then you can follow his or her recommendations as well as these guidelines for becoming more physically active.

  • Add more movement to your daily routine. For example, put away the TV remote control, park farther from building entrances or at the opposite side of the parking lot from where you're going, and take stairs instead of elevators. Walk a lap or two around your house or apartment, then down the street or around a nearby park. Buy a pedometer and gradually increase the number of steps you take each day.
  • Start with small, short-term goals. It's easiest to keep doing something new when you have early, frequent successes. For example, make a plan to walk for 10 minutes a day, 3 days a week, for 2 weeks.
  • Buddy up with a friend. There's no better way to stay on track with physical activity than with a buddy you look forward to seeing, who also counts on you (especially on days when you could easily find an excuse not to be physically active).
  • Change the way you think about yourself—start thinking, dressing, and eating like the active, vital person you plan to be.
  • Make physical fitness a habit with such simple tasks as writing physical activity into your weekly calendar.

Normal sexual changes in women

After menopause, estrogen and androgen levels drop, causing physical changes. You may find that:

  • It can take longer to become sexually excited.
  • Your skin may be more sensitive and easily irritated when caressed.
  • Intercourse may be painful because of thinning vaginal walls (regular sex often helps prevent this from becoming severe). If a water-based lubricant (such as Astroglide or Replens) isn't enough, talk to your doctor about vaginal estrogen cream, which reverses thinning and sensitivity. For more information, see the topic Menopause and Perimenopause.
  • You are less interested in sex.

If you have noticed sexual changes that don't seem to be linked to normal aging, talk to your doctor. There are a number of medicines that can cause sexual problems, as well as health conditions that can cause sexual problems.

Adjusting to age-related sexual changes

With a little experimentation and patience, you can adjust to sexual changes and satisfy your sexual and intimacy needs. If you think your sexual interest might be affected by a medicine or health problem, work with your doctor to correct or treat it. Talk with your partner about any misgivings you might have so you can handle them together.

With your partner, take your time to set a relaxed mood and engage in foreplay. Use a lubricant if vaginal dryness or irritation is a barrier to enjoying sex. If you drink alcohol, remember that a small amount may relax you and increase your responsiveness, but too much alcohol is not likely to be helpful.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a risk no matter what age you are. Unless you and your partner have recently been tested or you are 100% sure that you both have been monogamous for many years without infection, make sure that you practice safe sex to prevent STDs.

Sexual Vitality

Because sexuality tends to be a private matter, it's likely that you've heard less about sexual change than any other element of aging. Fortunately, the news is good—for most healthy adults, pleasure and interest don't diminish with age. Most people are sexual throughout their lives, with or without a partner, and some feel greater sexual freedom in their later years. On the other hand, some men and women are content to be sexually inactive.

Around age 50, men and women typically begin to notice changes in their sexual drive, sexual response, or both. Like so many other physical changes that evolve over time, these aren't signs that you are losing your sexuality. Rather, these changes are simply something to adjust to and discuss openly with your partner and/or your doctor.

Normal sexual changes in men

As you age beyond your 50s, you may find that:

  • Male sex drive is minimally affected by age (although health problems, certain medicines, or relationship stress can lower sex drive).
  • Erections become less firm and tend to take more time than when you were younger.
  • You may be able to delay ejaculation for longer than when you were younger

10 Simple Steps to Become a Hot Stones Massage Therapist

Are you looking for your first career, or searching for a new career? One of my favorite films about jobs is "Office Space." The movie is about a protagonist named Peter, who gets promoted after trying to get fired. In the end, he realizes that job satisfaction is much more important than any other aspect of an occupation. None of us lies on our deathbed wishing that we had worked another day in our lives. But is it impossible to find a dream job? Life is short Unless we inherit millions of dollars or hit the jackpot in the Powerball lottery, most of us work for roughly forty years of our lives. Life is short, so we might as well enjoy our jobs. If that happens, we will be better motivated, more productive, and less stressed-out. Health is wealth According to recent research, healthcare will remain one of the most marketable fields in the near future. Baby Boomers make up over a quarter of the U.S. population alone. Within the next decade, their mass retirements will cause the demand for healthcare service providers to skyrocket. If you are interested in joining the healthcare industry, have you considered becoming a therapeutic massage therapist? Through various types of massages, such as massages with hot stones, you can help to make the world a healthier and more relaxed place. Here are some considerations you should make, before launching your career as a massage therapist

1. Questions, questions. Are you a caring person? Do you like working with others? Can you "connect" with people? Can you work in an extremely quiet environment? Can you work with minimum supervision? If you answered "yes" to these questions, then massage therapy might be the perfect job for you!

2. Meeting the requirements. Keep in mind that various towns, cities, and states have unique professional requirements for massage therapists.

3. A whole new world. Determine what types of massages you want to specialize in. Do you want to focus on hot stones massages or Swedish massages? Does practicing medical, pregnancy, or animal massages (Yes, even Fluffy and Fido get sore muscles) interest you in particular?

4. School of massage. After locating several massage training schools and programs through the phone book and Internet, find one that meets your persona and needs.

5. Guinea pig massages. Friends, family members, and local organizations are excellent sources to get vital experience as a massage therapist.

6. Be your own boss. Having your own business means more control and more responsibilities, so determine if it is right for you.

7. Landing a job. Find massage therapist jobs through your massage training school or program, newspapers, and the Internet. Also, health clubs, spas, medical clinics and companies need massage therapists.

8. Obtain and retain clients. Remember that the best advertising is through professional and personal referrals. Via outstanding customer service, you can retain your clients.

9. Be (more) professional. Reading magazines and books, taking classes, and receiving massages with hot stones yourself, will help to improve your professional career as a massage therapist.

10. Care for yourself before caring for others. Here are some tips to keep you fit:

• Eat at least three healthy meals per day.

• Get at least half an hour of exercise daily.

• For each hour you are awake, get a half hour of sleep.

• Use yoga or tai chi to maintain balance in your life. Starting or changing careers can seem like a daunting task. But with some careful research and planning, it can become a piece of cake. Working as a therapist for massage stone massages can become one of the most rewarding experiences in life. It will not rub you the wrong way!
