Exercise Physiology for the Elderly: Improving Health and Mobility with  Expert Support  

ByRhiannon Freemantle

Are you an older adult looking to stay healthy, active, and independent? Exercise  physiology can help you achieve all of these goals and more. At Longevity Exercise  Physiology, we specialise in helping seniors improve their physical health, manage  chronic conditions, and increase their quality of life through personalised exercise plans. 

How to Use Exercise Physiology for the Elderly: Funding Options Available  

At Longevity Exercise Physiology, we help older adults access funding options such as  the My Aged Care and other government support programs. 

Many of our clients have successfully used their funding to receive tailored exercise  programs that focus on strength, balance, and cardiovascular health. One client, Susan, a  68-year-old with osteoarthritis, was able to use NDIS funding for her weekly sessions.  With our support, she was able to regain mobility, reduce pain, and enjoy a higher quality  of life.

  • Eating for Health Vs Eating for Weight Loss

    Eating for Health Vs Eating for Weight Loss
     
    Recently I have had many discussions with clients regarding their nutritional habits. As usual, most of these discussions centre around weight loss but with a recent, new twist. I am finding that some people are becoming a little confused by what is healthy and what is low in calories so in this article I strip the confusion back to the basics. 
     
    We need to eat for 2 reasons: No. 1 is to consume all of the vitamins, minerals, fibre, carbohydrates, protein and fat that is essential for our body’s optimal function; No. 2 is to fuel our body with sufficient energy to complete all tasks sufficiently. The best place to start for anyone looking to refine their diet in regard to either of these 2 aspects is www.eatforhealth.gov.au. Here you will find the Australian Dietary Guidelines based on an extensive review by Australia’s best doctors, dietitians and research scientists. The recommendations were updated just this year (2013).
