Best Workouts to Promote Longevity

Best Workouts to Promote Longevity

Decades of research has confirmed the many different ways exercise benefits the human body. Most notably, it directly supports those factors essential to a long, healthy life — mobility, heart health, brain health, muscle strength and more. To exercise regularly is to enhance the cycle of healthy aging.

That said, specific types of exercise make greater contributions than others. If your goal is longevity, here are some workouts you’ll want to prioritize.

Put Your Heart in It: Cardiovascular exercise such as running, biking, dancing and boxing can have a tremendous impact on people as they age. Cardiovascular activity strengthens the heart, thus lowering the risk of heart disease, the No. 1 killer of American adults. It also lowers blood pressure, cuts the risk of diabetes and does wonders for brain health. With aerobic exercise, your goal should be to sustain a moderate to vigorous intensity to reap the maximum benefit.

Lift Those Weights: It’s easy enough to incorporate strength training in your workout – just hit the weights at the gym. Regular bouts of weightlifting help maintain bone mass, bone density and muscle mass, three areas known to deteriorate as people age. If you’re new to the barbells, consult a health care professional before you start and consider taking strength-training classes.

Strike the Proper Balance: Falls are the greatest cause of injury-related deaths in people over 65 and are usually due to a lack of mobility. Exercise, by contrast, bolsters mobility, particularly through such balance-training activities as tennis and tai chi. With balance a challenge for so many older Americans, it’s important to consult a doctor or physical therapist before deciding which exercise is right for you.

Strength in Numbers: Social connection is crucial to aging well and living a fulfilling life, with data confirming that people who dwell amongst family or in welcoming communities tend to live longer than those going it alone. Suffice it to say, joining an exercise class means benefitting not only from the exercise, but the social connections as well.

Sustainability: The idea of incorporating longevity-focused exercise into your life is all well and good but how do you sustain the initiative? That is the real quandary many of us face. It helps to prioritize what you truly enjoy, whether it’s weights at the gym or a couple of sets on the tennis court. Also, you must commit to your exercise regimen. Consistency is the key, as the greatest benefits only come through regular, steady progress.

How To Save on Airline Tickets All Year Round

How To Save on Airline Tickets All Year Round

While U.S. traffic remains heaviest around the fall-winter holidays, there is in truth no off-season for air travel in this country. Be it the depths of winter or the height of summer, airports and aircraft across the country are packed with people flying hither and you for work and/or pleasure.

Which means that more Americans than ever are actively working to score the best flights possible at the lowest fares available. To be sure, those goals are often in conflict with each other but that doesn’t mean savvy travelers can’t find the flights they want at a price that won’t break the budget. Here are a few strategies to consider the next time you’re deciding how best to get away from it all.

Time Is of The Essence: One glance at an airline website reveals how departure and arrival times significantly impact ticket prices, with midday flights tending to be more expensive than their early morning or red-eye counterparts. The reason, of course, is that most travelers don’t want to fly through the night or be at the airport before the crack of dawn. On the other hand, if you don’t mind travelling under those conditions, there are bargains galore to be found.

Day by Day: In that same spirit, the day you choose to travel greatly impacts your ticket cost. If your schedule is flexible, there is money to be saved traveling on nonpeak days. Also consider flying on actual holidays, when the planes and terminals are usually emptier, and prices can be as much 50% cheaper.

When To Book?: Veteran travelers for years have been bombarded with conflicting opinions regarding when airfares for a given trip will be at their lowest. Some experts suggest the early the better is best, while others say, no, wait until the last minute. This lack of clarity is nothing if not frustrating. The latest school of thought appears to split the difference by urging travelers to book domestic flights two to three weeks in advance but buy their tickets up to six months ahead of time for international travel.

Compare, Compare, Compare: It’s a no-brainer, for sure, but it’s always worth reiterating the importance of putting in the time to thoroughly research the whole range of airline and flight options available to you. Some details to consider are any potential additional fees the airline might slap you with and each flight’s on-board amenities, along with flight duration, number of stops and layover lengths. (No one relishes the prospect of running desperately through an airport to make a connection.)

Connectivity: Speaking of connections, if you are willing to sacrifice convenience for more cash in your wallet, consider connecting flights. These are traditionally cheaper than direct ones, although they often come with their own set of complications.

Tips for Throwing A Great Graduation Party

Tips for Throwing A Great Graduation Party

The coming of spring is always welcome after months of wintry temperatures and precipitation, but for high school and college seniors it is particularly anticipated, the season bringing with it the opportunity to don caps and gowns. Graduation ceremonies are important events in young people’s lives, serving to celebrate current achievements while pointing those seniors toward the future.

That’s serious stuff, which helps explain why many proud parents across the country are planning to throw graduation parties this spring. If you find yourself among that number, here are some tips to keep in mind to make your bash is truly one to remember.

Consult the Calendar: As with so many other aspects of life, it pays to get a jump on the party project rather than throw it together at the last minute. Pick the day, set the guest list and send out invitations as soon as you can to avoid any potential scheduling conflicts and ensure the best turnout.

Night Moves: As anyone who’s ever thrown a party knows, the Big Day brings not just guests but stress. You can alleviate this problem to a degree by taking care of as many details as possible the night before. Set up tables, chairs and decor, and clean your place so food and drinks are the only things you need to worry about the next day. If you have guests who aren’t physically coming to your home, think about how to provide the best video chat experience; set up the device in a room with natural lighting and a strong internet connection.

Good Neighbor Policy: If you’re expecting a large group of people, do the right thing and let your neighbors next door and across the street know ahead of time. They will thank you for the heads up regarding potential noise and parking hassles and might even want to attend.

Furnish Furniture: It’s tempting, particularly on a pleasant spring afternoon, to envision your graduation party as an informal backyard affair, with guests strolling around, chatting amiably among themselves, noshing off paper plates. Fight that temptation. The reality is that your guests no matter their age will eventually want to sit down. As host, make sure you have enough tables and chairs on hand to accommodate everyone.

Set the Stage: You can make a statement as soon as guests walk through the door by setting up a special entrance table with your grad’s picture and other school memorabilia, as well as a wishes jar or guest book in which partygoers can jot down sweet notes and words of advice. The table also provides the perfect place to drop off gifts.

Pick the Tunes: There was a lot of hassle in earning that tassel, so now it’s time to let loose. Program music to play in the background to set the party’s mood and make sure to clear an area for dancing.
