Topic: A Walk to Healthy Ageing Since, a long time walking as an exercise has been considered to be playing a major role in physical fitness of both youngsters and senior citizens. Recently, a study done on 385 men aged 55 years and above at Athabasca University in Canada (Published in American Journal of Health Promotion: ajhpcontents.org/doi/abs/10.4278/ajhp.120316-QUAN-145) has empirically proved that walking not only keeps elderly men physically active but also enhances their mental health and quality of life. On a personal note, I feel that both elderly men and women can draw inspiration from this study and should engage in a more active lifestyle.Not only senior citizens, even youngsters and middle aged people who are not much active should learn from it and motivate oneself to walk regularly for a healthy life. Points to discuss: If you know about any senior citizen who makes effort to keep herself/himself physically active. Please share her/his story.
