Our aim in producing this publication is to assist and inform our senior society members as well as to draw attention to the daily issues affecting the over 55's; our own parents, grandparents, friends and neighbours. Australian statistics show that we have an 'ageing population'. There are more people living longer and therefore their requirements, problems, rights and expectations are finally gaining more focus.

 

Latest Edition

The latest edition of Senior Support Magazine takes a look at mobility in our older years and the importance of keeping active and healthy. We begin by looking at the risks of a Sedentary Lifestyle. As we age we move less, participate in less physical exercise and spend more time sitting. A person living a sedentary lifestyle is often sitting for prolonged periods of time. A sedentary lifestyle contributes to poor health quality, diseases as well as many preventable causes of death. Following on we look at the importance of exercise. Adults aged 65 years and above should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week or do at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity activity. We hope you enjoy reading our 13th edition.
