Teenagers who regularly engage in healthy actives, such as running, hiking and biking, have a better chance of developing strong bones and muscles, according to Kids Health. While video games and the Internet captivate teens, they need to put down the mouse and joystick and pick up a soccer ball or swim goggles. Setting a good example for your child will motivate and inspire your teenager to get off the couch and onto the field. Inviting your kids to run or go for a hike with you will reinforce health and exercise as something social and fun instead of punishment, says the Mayo Clinic.
Informal Activities

The Mayo Clinic recommends an hour a day of informal activities. Instead of telling your teen to stop watching TV, remove him from the couch through an invitation to go for a hike or swim. Gardening with your teen or going for a short bike ride gets you out of the house and engaged in a physical activity. This allow you and your teen some alone time and reinforces that exercising can be social. Running gets a teen’s blood pressure and heart rate elevated. Female teenagers who run regularly help maintain strong bones. While running has a competitive side to it, it can also be treated as an informal way to stay active and avoid obesity.

Today’s centenarians are simply living a healthy and an active, natural life span for the human body is created to live a long, healthy life if nurtured with care but also keeping in mind predictable factors like disease and death. The fear of getting old and infirm is what keeps us from being hale and hearty. Life should be determined much by its content rather than its length. Therefore, life should be led purposefully and fervently till the last breath.

Aging is part of our natural growth process. Aging is the buildup of experiences and changes in our entire life. It begins at the outset and concludes at death. It is another stage in our development. We are all in the process of aging and must learn ways of dealing with changes that occur all through our lives. Aging and illness are not identical, and the idea that senility is a natural sign of aging is wrong. By understanding the normal aging process, you can determine better what changes are normal and what may be indication of illness. And, by recognizing the normal changes in the body, you will be able to take steps to minimize or delay them and achieve better health.

Science has made great strides forward in understanding of just what aging is, how it works, and most important of all — what we can do about it. We can reduce diseases of aging and prolong our health and vital years. In short, we will be able to look younger and live longer naturally. Over 85% of the incapacitating diseases of old age result from only a handful of diseases — cancer, coronary artery disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney failure, obstructive lung disease, pneumonia and influenza. Heart disease, by itself, accounts for fully one out of every two deaths of older Americans, and high blood pressure directly causes or contributes to 15% of all deaths. We now can control even these pathologies by our lifestyle. By the simple act of knowing what to eat, exercise, and live your life, you can lower your risk for these diseases of aging and incorporate this knowledge into your lifestyle, thus avoiding the causes of premature aging, weakness and death.
