Over-50 get strong
June 20, 2016
Marking the annual National
Vitamin D Awareness Day
tomorrow 21 Jun, research
commissioned by Ostelin, revealed
a new ‘Generation Strong’, fifty-plus
Australians who are proving older
doesn’t necessarily mean weaker.
One in five baby boomers in their
50s, far from growing weaker, are
reaching peak fitness levels the
study showed, with over half (58%)
working out at least four times a
week and close to one in four (24%)
claiming to exercise more than ever
before.
Sport and performance
psychologist, Jacqui Louder, said
that healthy bones were “the pillar
of overall strength and fitness for
all age groups” urging Australians
to ask their pharmacist or other
healthcare professional for advice
on managing their bone health.
