When we see an elderly person agile, active, and fit, we are often surprised. A question arises in our mind how is this possible at this age?
When we see an elderly person agile, active, and fit, we are often surprised. A question arises in our mind how is this possible at this age? Is it the effect of a special diet, daily exercise, or mental peace? Actually, it can be a combination of all these and a living example of this is 92-year-old Ken Head of Bristol, who has proved that age is just a number.
According to a BBC report, former engineer Ken Head has such fitness and routine that can put any young person to shame. Even at the age of 92, Ken exercises for 45 minutes daily, which includes 400 to 600 push-ups and running 5 to 10 kilometers. Apart from this, he also does boxing and climbing.
His day starts with a special diet
. Every morning, Kane adds jumbo oats, wheat germ, chia seeds, figs, raisins and nuts to his diet. He told the media that I put it in a bowl, add some milk to it. This is my life. After this, he starts his day with push-ups, stretching, weight training and then running. To further challenge his fitness, Kane started sprint triathlon, which includes swimming, cycling and running.
Unshakable passion for health
Kane's passion for fitness is unshakable. He has undergone many medical procedures, but still he never compromised on his fitness. A year ago, an e-scooter hit him while he was running, which injured his heel, which never healed. Apart from this, he also had skin cancer, which was later removed through surgery. Kane said that this operation put me out of running for some time, but I still continued.
Does age limit physical activity?
We often assume that physical activity decreases with age. With age, muscle strength, bone density and joint mobility in the body start to decline. All these factors can lead to a decrease in physical activity. Apart from this, energy levels may decline with age and problems like arthritis, osteoporosis or heart problems may also arise, which hinder physical activity.
