Skip Orem (00:03): Hi, everybody from Nashville. I'm Skip Orem, and this is the Anchor Pointe Podcast. (00:17): Hello again, everybody from the Printer's Alley Studios of the XBHS Radio Network here in Nashville. I'm Skip Orem. And I'm so glad that you pushed the play button for this week's episode of Anchor Pointe. (00:32): On today's episode, we're going to be talking more about the seven elements of the Anchor Pointe disease fighting and fitness model, and specifically how each of those elements work together to help us older folks in our 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond to help us stay fit and to stay healthy and fight off those diseases that start to affect us as we get older. And then a little bit later in the podcast I want to talk about what I've been doing this September that has me running a significant number of miles this month, significant anyway for this old man. However, right now on Anchor Pointe, let's get to medical news for seniors. (01:24): Today's headline on medical news for seniors, the life-changing benefits of exercise after age 60. According to the CDC, all older adults can benefit from regular physical activity. Exercise can positively impact your physical health as well as your emotional wellbeing. Of course, as we get older we don't have the stamina, the agility that we may have had back when we were younger. But that doesn't mean that we should just relax, sit on the couch, watch TV, read a book. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every older adult, men and women, benefit from regular, moderate physical activity. And that's even true for those of us with medical conditions like arthritis, heart disease, obesity, cancer, and high blood pressure. (02:24): So what are some of those key benefits? Preventing bone loss, we start to lose bone density as we get older. Well, exercise helps us to strengthen our bones. And you know what? Exercise, moving more, can actually help lessen the pain and stiffness of arthritis. Exercising as we age it helps us to well prevent those chronic diseases that seem to be just common after us as we get older. And check out this headline. One study found that participants over the age of 60 showed fewer Alzheimer's disease biomarkers when they performed at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. And of course, studies are showing that exercise and a good diet increased the effectiveness of our immune system. And everybody, we will be talking about that very important immune system of ours frequently on the Anchor Pointe Podcast. So the take home from this study, a comprehensive fitness plan is extremely important in maintaining not only a healthy body as we age, but also improving our mood and creating a sense of wellbeing. That is important medical news for seniors on the Anchor Pointe Podcast. (03:56): The comprehensive fitness and disease fighting plan is what the Anchor Pointe Podcast is all about. The Anchor Pointe disease fighting and fitness plan has seven elements. Faith, exercise, diet, attitude, positive imagery, music and research. Each of those elements working together can create a level of health and fitness that, well, it's just so important as we age. You want to be mobile, you want to be happy and positive, you want to live that long, happy, and healthy life. And if any of those diseases com

your way, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, well, you want to have a strong immune system to fight them off. And at the very least, keep them under control. (04:50):
