Elderly people has to follow a different life schedule, body gets week as they are aged. The recovery time also increases with age. The should follow a different daily workout routine.
Vitamin E may help elderly people keep their vim and vigor. Poor nutrition may play a role in leading elderly people to become physically disabled, but there had been little strong evidence backing up this notion, the researchers said. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, meaning it can protect tissue from damage caused by unstable substances called free radicals that can harm cells, tissues and organs. It is also involved in the formation of red blood cells.
Vitamin E can be found in foods including wheat germ, corn nuts and seeds, olives, green leafy vegetables such as spinach and asparagus, sunflower, soybean and cottonseed oils. But some research has indicated very high amounts of vitamin E can be harmful, raising one's overall risk of death.
Aerobic exercises helps boost mental agility and manual dexterity in elderly people and improves the way they can concentrate on visual and auditory tasks.
These findings are based on a review of 11 studies that examined the effects of getting healthy people over 55 to take on additional physical exercise.
The studies showed that they bettered at least one aspect of cognitive function.
"This benefit adds to the other known benefits of aerobic exercise," said Maaike Angevaren of University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands, who led the research team.
"Larger studies are still required to confirm whether the aerobic training component is necessary, or whether the same can be achieved with any type of physical exercise," he said. However it is proved that Aerobics helps delay aging.
