Max's Healthy Tip of the Week:

Regardless of your age, make every effort to be fit.
 
We're way beyond vanity here -
we're talking about continuing good health!

Extra fat particularly around the stomach area can prevent some vitamins and minerals from absorption.
 
Your waist measurement in inches should be no more than half your height, in inches.

Even 15 minutes a day of brisk walking, cycling or swimming could help older adults live longer, according to a review of past research that found any physical activity is better than none.

For people over age 60, meeting current U.S. guidelines for moderate-to-vigorous exercise was linked to a 28 percent lower risk of dying over about 10 years, compared to being completely sedentary. But even lower levels of exercise were tied to a 22 percent reduction in mortality risk.  READ MORE HERE

An African-American and
