Camp Biche

I thought it would be refreshing for my Campers to read someone else's lecture on the importance of exercise in creating our best life possible :)

Jane Brody, The New York Times:

"Regular exercise is the only well-established fountain of youth, and it’s free."

“Physical inactivity,” they wrote, “is one of the strongest predictors of unsuccessful aging for older adults and is perhaps the root cause of many unnecessary and premature admissions to long-term care.”

"They noted that it had long been “well established that higher quantities of physical activity have beneficial effects on numerous age-related conditions such as osteoarthritis, falls and hip fracture, cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseases, cancer, diabetesmellitus, osteoporosis, low fitness and obesity, and decreased functional capacity.”
