Issue 37.16
Have you ever heard the saying, “You are only as old as you feel”? Many of our seniors today say that they feel younger than they really are. And, several of our residents here at the BeeHive Cottages have uncovered a wonder drug that helps them to feel even younger & healthier every day. The good news is that this drug does not require a prescription, is absolutely free, & has no adverse side effects. It does everything from improving your physical fitness, to heightening your awareness, and improving your memory. So, what is this miracle drug? The answer is the simple – it is the exercise of walking daily. Simple walking is a complex task that involves more than just moving your leg muscles. It improves your blood circulation, and reduces your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even cancer. In addition, walking has been shown to actually increase brain power & support mental health — as a result walkers experience clearer thinking and improved memory. And, the more that you do to improve your memory, the longer it will serve you well. So, considering all these benefits — why don’t more seniors take advantage of walking daily? For some, it is an issue of access to a safe area to walk. One that is free of obstacles & hazards. For others, they lose sight of the importance & benefits of walking. BeeHive Cottages is a one-of-a-kind Community where we provide our residents with the perfect, safe environment allowing them to walk daily. We are located on a private cul-de-sac, away from the obstacles & hazards of a main street or highway. Our private & serene neighborhood is framed with manicured sidewalks offering a haven for each resident to walk with their neighbors or their beloved pet. At BeeHive Cottages, to take advantage of this wonder drug – walking — all you need is a daily dose of dedication & a comfortable pair of shoes!! I invite you to come take a walk with us & experience the BeeHive difference!
