9 Reasons Walking Daily for 30 Minutes Will Add Years to Your Life

December 12, 2019 by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 2 Comments

walking in the woods

Watching the decline of my parents as they moved into their late 80s emphasized to me the importance of maintaining mobility as we age.  Once an older person is confined to a walker or wheelchair, they begin to deteriorate rapidly. It's astounding to see people, much younger than myself, scooting around Walmart on electric carts. Some have legitimate reasons like a disability … [Read more...]

Where I live in Los Angeles, casual and comfortable shoes are standard items that we wear throughout the year. It's cool to be stylish but after the age of 50 or so, sore feet can cause serious problems with your posture and balance. One fall might send you to the hospital for a hip or knew replacement.
