Joke Of The Day

Why did the tourist take a map to North Conway?

So they could find their way to all the cute little shops... and then spend all their money!

Standing on one leg for just 10 seconds can be a surprisingly powerful indicator of overall health and longevity.

 

As people age, they lose about 1-2% of muscle mass each year—beginning in their early 30s—which can add up to a staggering 50% by age 80.

 

This steep decline is closely tied to a greater risk of falls, the leading cause of injury for adults over 65 in the United States.

 

Health professionals recommend the 10-second balance test to help identify muscle weakness and pinpoint those at higher risk.

 

To try it, simply stand on one leg—keeping a sturdy surface within reach for safety.

 

In Rochester, NH, local groups like the Rochester Recreation & Arena provide adults 50+ with classes to build strength and balance.

 

Regular strength exercises—such as calf and one-leg raises—can restore muscle and enhance stability, protecting against dangerous falls.
