Over 55s
Many of us are conditioned in to believing that we are automatically going to start degenerating towards old age when we hit our 50s.Nothing could be further from the truth . There are numerous studies now well documenting the fact that gaining weight and losing physical mobility does not need to go hand and hand with age. We now know enough about human physiology to understand the effect exercise and nutrition can have on our physical and mental health to appreciate how we can not only prevent the effects of aging but actually help reverse the process.
Unfortunately many people over the age of 50 have had poor experiences of exercise and diets and their associations with these things is a lot of pain and very little pleasure. Many also consider exercise or eating properly not to have any real significance in their lives. They don’t believe these factors will make any difference to the way they look and feel..
