A systematic review by Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston published in the Annals of Internal Medicine this week found that yoga improves health indicators linked to reduced frailty and increased longevity in older adults.

Looking at 33 randomized controlled trials across 12 countries involving more than 2,000 participants, researchers determined with “moderate certainty” that doing yoga improved certain frailty markers including walking speed, lower extremity strength and endurance.

I pay for my mother to get 20 minutes of resistance exercise and stretching 3 times per week... It only costs $60! I would do it if it cost twice that. Absolutely vital to exercise, if you can.

I encourage my dad to keep moving every couple hours. I have to fight the urge to wait on him as he can do these things himself.
