Health News and Information

As a means of survival you can also consider taking up the menopausal sport of jogging if you are already close to being fit and sure that you are not going to drop down dead as some men have through weak heart and over-exertion, and, if you are prepared to risk sprains, back trouble, strained muscles, dog bites and traffic accidents. Besides firming the body jogging strengthens the heart and lungs, but before starting out make sure you buy good quality jogging shoes with thick well-cushioned soles. Pounding the hard pavements severely taxes the resilience of forty-year-old joints and sinews. And start slowly. Jogging is not racing, it is a long run simply for the fitness and pleasure it gives.

Squash and tennis are good fitness sports most men have access to but many doctors regard swimming as the best exercise readily available because not only does every muscle in the body have to perform, the heart and lungs have to work rhythmically too as they build up the body into an essentially fit machine. (To swim as exercise means a minimum of twenty minutes at a good pace, rather than leisurely dipping, three times a week.) Golf, the archetypal middle-aged man’s sport, offers little exercise value unless you are carrying your own clubs.
