RealAge Tip of the DAY for May 28, 2003
•It's a Real Stretch
Keeping your body limber may help you fend off arthritis.

Very flexible people may be less likely to develop arthritis in their joints compared to their stiffer peers, according to research. Flexible people also appear to have better bone mineral density. Retain your flexibility as you age by doing a set of all-over body stretches each day.

Good exercises for maintaining your flexibility include yoga, tai chi, and swimming. These exercises can increase strength and flexibility without injuring joints. A series of gentle stretches that you do on your own also can help keep your limbs limber.
RealAge Benefit: A physical activity program that builds stamina, strength, and flexibility can make your RealAge as much as 8.1 years younger.
