Women in their 70s can gain more years by following advice they may be giving their grandkids: exercise and eat your fruits and vegetables. So finds a new study that helps confirm healthy living can extend life,Canada Pharmacy Promotes Healthy Lifestyle among 70-Year Old Women Articles even in the retirement years. As a result, they get away from physical illnesses as well as emotional torments – to buy Celexa online is their last option to fight depression. 

"This is one of those findings that sounds like common sense," said study lead author Emily Nicklett, an assistant professor of social work at the University of Michigan School of Social Work, in Ann Arbor. 

"But while it may seem obvious, it's important to go back to the basics in terms of understanding that diet and exercise can strongly predict mortality among older adults," she said. "Promoting healthy diets that include fruits and vegetables, together with some form of simple physical activity like walking, can make dramatic improvements in terms of health outcomes." 

"And we're not talking about dramatic activity when we talk about exercise," Nicklett stressed. "We're not talking about rugby players. We're talking about something as simple as walking around the block, which is the way most women in our study burned the most calories." 

"In terms of public health, this finding raises the question of, 'How do we encourage a healthy lifestyle that boosts longevity?'" Nicklett said. "And that can mean looking into whether there are enough safe places for these women to walk, or whether or not they have access to fresh fruits. It's really about going back to the basics." 

Lona Sandon, a registered dietician and assistant professor of clinical nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, agreed that although the findings were "not particularly surprising," they are an important reminder that "exercise and eating healthfully is good for you." 

"We already know in other age categories that eating well and staying active is good for us," she said. "So it makes sense that it should then also apply to us as we get older." Generic Celexa side effects may be negligible in dealing with depression brought by unhealthy lifestyle, still they could turn out to be huge if compounded over time.

"As to what it is exactly about exercise and fruits and vegetables that helps women to live longer lives, that is not exactly clear," Sandon cautioned. "Maybe if you stay more physically fit you remain more functional and are less likely to fall and break a leg or hip, for example. Or perhaps exercise and good food keeps your immune system healthier. Or it could be the socialization involved when exercise is done in groups. Or maybe all of the above." 

A lifestyle typically reflects an individual's attitudes, values or worldview. Therefore, a lifestyle is a means of forging a sense of self and to create cultural symbols that resonate with personal identity. Not all aspects of a lifestyle are voluntary. Surrounding social and technical systems can constrain the lifestyle choices available to the individual and the symbols she/he is able to project to others and the self.
