How to stay in your own home for longer living independently, starting now - do this test

Some things are not all that they are cracked up to be--especially regarding fitness and exercise advice. Balance is the opposite, and there's a reason why ...

One "challenge test" I often ask of people in my writing about fitness after 50 and living longer better is this:
- Can you put your socks on while standing up?

That's simple enough.

It is an elementary requirement - a basic human movement you might say.

Yet most people over 50 cannot do it. That concerns me, and it should concern you too.

Latest research confirms your brain regenerates and exercise helps

Your brain can regenerate cells, which means that it is able to replenish and repair your nerve highways to keep you cognitively fit.

A least, that's what some scientists have argued for the last 50 years.

Before then, scientists were firm on the "fact" that we are born with all the brain cells that we would ever have. From that moment on they only die - resulting in our doddery old selves.

In the 1960s some scientists claimed that they had evidence of new neurons in the brain. This was called neurogenesis.

This is fantastic news, if true. However, studies since then have been ambivalent, especially many studies this decade.

Will you choose to live 5 years longer or look good in a t-shirt but can't do up your shoelaces?

If you're a regular reader of mine you may have picked up on my admonitions to not use any gym machines that you sit on e.g. in my Five Secrets for Fitness After 50.

Very often I accompany my warning with the explanation that gym machines are designed to accentuate muscles and make you look great in a t-shirt, but you'll struggle to do up your shoelaces.

There's a reason that gym machines are not designed to help you be able to do up your shoelaces. And there is a much more important reason why that should concern you greatly. It might knock 5 years off your life. When I explain why I hope that you'll kick the habit of gym machines, and potentially live longer better.
