The Orchards KEEPING THINGS MOVING The Orchards of East Liverpool residents soaked up the sunshine when a warm spring day reached a wonderful 70 degrees! THE EFFECTS OF EXERCISE Physical activity and exercise are important to our physical and mental health so that we can stay engaged, be independent, and enjoy life. It has long been documented that regular activity and exercise over extended periods of time can produce long- term health benefits as we age. But, even as we age, exercise can be an effective treatment for many chronic conditions. Studies have shown that people with arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes benefit from regular exercise, as do those who have high blood pressure, balance problems, and difficulty walking. Exercise acts as an emotional outlet and helps to reduce the harmful effects of stress. The Orchards are still providing individuals opportunities for exercise, along with meditative movements and affirmations for our physical health, as well as improving mental health by helping the brain cope better with stress and anxiety.
