Weight Loss for Seniors Helpful

My grandfather gallantly fought the battle of the bulge and during his annual physical examination, his family physician who he had known for years told him something very memorable. "You don't see old fat people." Sadly it is true, seniors who struggle with added pounds typically shorten their life. Dr. Oz has calculated the years and provide your Real Age Quiz. What we eat, what we weight, combined with the amount of weekly exercise is critical to our longevity and to our quality of our lives.

Paradigm of Weight for Seniors Changing

My grandparents were always ahead of the curve for health and fitness. Perhaps it was brilliant physicians such as my Grandfather's family physician who connected with him in terms that hit home and remained memorable. Perhaps it was my Grandmother who followed her physical therapy exercises with daily diligence with sandbags decades after her knee surgery. Nonetheless, today the paradigm of weight and exercise for the entire population with special emphasis upon seniors is changing.

Intentional weight loss helps, not harms, seniors

"The outcome of a study scheduled to appear in the print issue of the Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences contradicts the concerns raised by previous studies that deliberate weight loss among older individuals could increase the risk of death.

Weight reduction aids in lowering high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and high fasting glucose levels, all of which can increase with aging, yet some health care practitioners have hesitated recommending weight loss to older individuals due to findings that associated weight reduction with increased mortality. However, the studies upon which these conclusions were based did not address whether weight loss was intentional or due to underlying disease."

"For years, the medical community has relied on multiple epidemiological studies that suggested that older people who lost weight were more likely to die," he remarked. "Weight loss in old folks is just understood to be a bad prognostic sign. The data that people have been using has been unable to separate the cause and effect of the weight loss, however, and our study suggests that the weight loss they've been studying may be the result of other health problems and not of intentional weight loss."

Exercise for Seniors

But exercise is only part of it. "In the fitness realm... I just think that keeping their bodies active also keeps their minds active," said activities and wellness coordinator Laurin Trigg.

Dr. Chhanda Dutta, chief of clinical gerontology at the federal National Institute on Aging, said the main benefits include:

• Increased endurance through at least 150 minutes of aerobic exercise a week.
• Strength and minimized muscle deterioration through resistance training every other day.
• Improved balance to decrease debilitating falls.
