Lower
Back And Hip Pain Exercises For Seniors And The Elderly
Lower back and hip pain exercises for seniors and the
elderly include the leg extension exercise
below.
This is a great exercise not only for the low back but
also the buttock muscles and hip.
Try these exercises 3 - 5 times per week to decrease your
symptoms and increase your strength and endurance all day.
If you have
trouble getting up off the floor, you may want to perform this exercise on your
bed or couch.
If able to do this on the floor, try kneeling on
gardening pads.
This helps protect painful knees from pressure.
Also for those with arthritic hands, investing in a pair
of inexpensive push-up handles will bring your wrists into a neutral position
and decrease wrist pain.

Quick and Easy Fiber Fixes
Whole, fibrous foods are a weight loss favorite because
they are good for the pocketbook, waistline, and your body. Whole foods that
are packed with fiber are less expensive when compared with their fortified
food counterparts. For example, a cooked cup of barley costs pennies per
serving and has 6 grams of fiber. In contrast, the leading fiber-filled granola
bar can cost about 60 cents apiece and have 9 grams of fiber. Not only is the
granola bar more expensive, gram for gram, but that bar is merely a snack
whereas the barley is half a meal. As a bonus, the whole grain barley is also
packed with phytochemicals, fiber, and protein.
This is where your waistline and health come into play.
Foods higher in fiber make you feel fuller on fewer calories. Whole foods such
as beans, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables are an excellent source of
healthy calories and fiber.
Fiber also works as a scrub brush to clear out natural
byproducts of our body’s metabolic process and unneeded cholesterol in our
blood. Fiber adds bulk to our poop thus helping dispose all the toxins and dead
cells from the colon. For various (and more technical) reasons, eating more fiber
has shown to help decrease the chances of colon cancer. How much fiber do we need to consume in a day
to enjoy the full range of benefits? It is recommended that men need 30-38
grams a day, and women need 21-25 grams a day.
