Good morning 👋

❝How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?❞
~ Satchel Paige

In today’s email we cover daily medication counts, peripheral artery disease, and behavioral activation vs depression.

Are you worried about becoming frail as you get older? It is never too soon to start preparing to be a healthy 90-year-old! Later, you’ll wish you’d started sooner, after all.
But for many of us, going to the gym, or even a yoga class, can seem like more hassle than it’s worth. Reverse Health is offering chair yoga from the comfort of your own home, with a 28-day program designed especially for women over 40, which is then further tailored to your specific goals:

Stiff joints, low energy, or feeling out of touch with your body?

Exercise is essential for many aspects of health, especially as we get older.

Just one example: strong muscles mean strong bones, and strong bones can mean the difference between:

  1. falling over and laughing it off, or

  2. falling over, breaking a hip, being taken away in an ambulance, staying in hospital, getting an infection, and not coming home

(This writer knows which category she definitely wants to be in; how about you?)

However! That doesn’t mean that our life has to look like a Rocky movie training montage.

In fact, you don’t even need to go to the gym, and can do it from the comfort of your own home, assuming you have some manner of Internet-capable device with a screen.
