What should you know about training for senior citizens?

What are the benefits of regular training for senior citizens?

Movement can replace almost any medicine, but no medicine can replace movement. Physical activity for senior citizens is one of the best ways to provide complex support for the body, which, as the ageing process progresses, is much less effective in functioning on various levels. It is a natural process, therefore the introduction of regular training for the senior citizens will enable them to remain in good shape and provide many valuable benefits:

• control of normal body weight and reduction of excess weight, which may be a consequence of slower metabolism or hormonal disorders following the menopause,
• Improved well-being by lowering the level of cortisol and producing more endorphins,
• improving sleep quality and making it easier to fall asleep,
• regulation of blood pressure and blood flow, which is one of the elements of prevention of heart attacks, atherosclerosis and strokes,
• increase in insulin sensitivity, which helps to relieve the symptoms of diabetes,
• strengthening of deep muscles, which improves the stability of the torso and helps to maintain a proper body posture (reducing the risk of falls!),
• maintaining the correct joint mobility,
• improvement of the body's natural immunity and an increase in protection against the adverse effects of free oxygen radicals.

How should senior citizen's supplementation look like during the training period?

It is hard to deny that a senior citizen's diet does play an important role. Especially in the context of the training and reaching the goals. Older people should use a product developed with the utmost care for safety, which is possible by using microbiologically tested raw materials in optimal proportions.

The Olimp Laboratories pharmaceutical company has developed a dietary supplement dedicated especially for seniors who want to enrich their daily diet with a complex of essential vitamins and minerals. Vita-Min plus senior is a multi-ingredient composition created for older people who are doing regular training. Thanks to the ingredients used, the product allows, among other things, to maintain optimal work of the nervous system, reduce fatigue and ensure the proper functioning of the muscles. The composition has been additionally enriched with Korean ginseng extract, lutein and hyaluronic acid. The product is available in the form of easy to swallow capsules.
