There is a debate about whether old people should either engage in sports to keep a healthy lifestyle or there are some better ways for improving their health. This essay will discuss both views and present my own opinion about what is the best way to keep old people healthy.
As people start to grow older, they would more likely suffer from different kinds of illnesses, like diabetes and blood pressure are more common for older people. In order to prevent old people from such diseases some people suggest that old people should actively engage in different kinds of sports, for example walking or doing yoga. Supporters of this view think that sports keep people in good shape, and prevent people from suffering obesity, which is bad for the overall health of old people. Furthermore, sport provides active circularisation of blood through the veins of human beings. And this in turn, helps to thicken the blood in veins which helps with the problem of blood pressure and also reduces the level of sugar in the blood.
However, sport is not the only way to keep people’s health intact. And people including me think that there are other ways like monthly schedules with doctors and paying attention to food ratios can keep people healthy during the late years of people’s life. People cannot always keep an active lifestyle like doing sport activities might be very difficult for old people, however active doctor appointments can be very useful. As old people take sessions, doctors can give prescriptions and can guide them how to stay healthy. Furthermore, being curious about the ratio of food old people consume is very essential, as they should consume more vitamins and carbs in order to increase their immune system. As the immune system improves there would be less chance for them to suffer from periodic diseases.
In conclusion, old people can keep their healthy lifestyle by actively engaging in different kinds of sports which can improve their shape and are good for their body. However I think regular appointments with the doctor and keeping nutrients within their diet is very essential for them to live longer.
