Total Health After Fifty "Something"

By Linda Miller
There are magazines for men's health, magazines for women's health, articles on your health, his health and even the dog's health every place you go; I notice something though: All those articles and  brochures have very healthy appearing young adults on them. What about the health of us somewhat older, greyer, beat up by life and tougher than boot leather folks? The assumption appears to be that either you never get old or you never look old if you follow the writer's advice. Beyond that was an implied assumption that if you are over fifty you must be unhealthy.
Nearly all of the methods did advocate some form of walking as part of the exercise routine. However most of the advice was for pretty radical diets and even more radical exercise programs. If you are out of shape and over fifty you don't need to bounce and strain to get in shape. In fact you should not bounce, run, lift weights or do aerobic dancing unless you are in good shape and have been used to doing it already. Total health and fitness is as simple as a good walk preferably with good walking company. A companion you love, or walking your dog, gives you the proper motivation to get out there and actually do it.
Get out your favorite walking shoes and read on for a little common sense advice on staying totally healthy way past fifty. If you do not have a favorite walking shoe yet consider these top picks: New Balance Walking Shoes, especially New Balance 833 which is said to have a nice roomy rounded toe area that won't bother your bunion. Asics Gel-DS Trainer, is a lightweight shoe considered good for "training" purposes. If you go short to medium distances look at the Nike Air Skylon shoe. It is lightweight and flat but flexible and comfortable. Don't be limited by these suggestions. Find what is best for you.
