Chair Yoga Exercises for Upper Body

No matter what age we are, there is always that desire to feel our best so that we can live the life we want.

Our Gentle Chair Yoga Expert, Jyoti Nanda has been conducting Chair Yoga sessions for our audience to encourage physical fitness during the lockdown due to coronavirus.

Gentle yoga poses and sequences can support and maintain the health of the lower body especially the hips by working on four areas – flexibility, strength, stability and mobility.

Jyoti Nanda explains that to keep the bones, cartilage, muscles and ligaments of the hip joint healthy, we need to incorporate exercises that allow abduction, adduction, flexion and extension. Besides the hip also has the ability to rotate internally and externally. However, some of these movements are not recommended for people who have had hip replacements or knee replacements.

Motion is lotion! So it is essential to move the hips in their entire range of motion.

Watch the session here and introduce these simple exercises in your routine to remain fit and healthy. Chair Yoga for Lower Body

Sleep in the Elderly: What is Normal?

If you are a caregiver for a senior, or even just have elderly people in your life, you may wonder about their sleeping habits. It sometimes seems that the elderly don’t need as much sleep as the average person. You may feel like the elderly in your life are sleeping a lot, or sleeping too much during the day. Unfortunately when it comes to sleep in the elderly, what is normal may not necessarily be what is healthy. Excessive sleep or daytime sleeping in the elderly are all related to sleep disorders and can be helped. How Many Hours of Sleep Does an Elderly Person Need? A pervading myth related to sleep claims that elderly adults need less sleep than the average adult. It’s not quite clear how this myth began. Perhaps because elderly adults tend to nap in the afternoons and sleep less during the night. Perhaps because the elderly tend to wake up earlier in the morning, it appears they do not need to sleep as much. Whatever the reason, it remains a myth. From the mid-’20s onward, do...

Dads and Pops: Your Good Health Matters to Us 

Did you know  June is  Men’s Health Month  and Father’s Day anchors Men’s Health Week ?   Celebrate dad on Father’s Day and thank him for all he  has  done, but  also  make sure to seize an opportunity sometime this month to have a conversation with him about his health. This awareness campaign has the critical purpose of informing men   that avoiding preventive healthcare puts them at real and serious risk of  contracting a disease or  acquiring  a chronic condition.   Studies consistently  show the numbers go against men , particularly as they advance into their senior years.   Even with dramatic advances in diagnosis and treatment over the past 100 years, men’s life expectancy still lags significantly behind women.

They also spoke about stereotypes and social attitudes towards ageing and shared their per...
