To encourage baby boomers
to live healthy, Energizer’s specialty batteries has teamed up with fitness
expert, Denise Austin, to launch a national “Live Healthy” program in 2008. The program promotes ways to live a
healthy, active lifestyle – with some help from key battery-powered
devices.
Following are
some of Denise’s tips:
>Utilizing devices such as pedometers,
calorie counters and MP3 players can help make exercising fun and
enjoyable. In fact, Dr. Dena
Bravata, co-author of a series of studies from Stanford University, showed that
pedometer use increases activity and depends primarily on setting goals and keeping
a diary of the number of steps walked each day. The survey respondents are now walking about one mile more a
day than they did before they started their step-counting routines!
>Don't even consider not doing it! For
every reason you can think of not to exercise, there are a million reasons why
you should, including better self-esteem and lower risk of cardiovascular
disease. In fact, a recent
Energizer survey found that one third of baby boomers reported lack of
enjoyment as the top reason for skipping exercise.
>Everyone knows you need a healthy diet
and plenty of exercise, but don’t forget those routine health screenings such
as blood pressure, diabetes and, believe it or not, hearing loss – preventative
efforts are the key to healthy living.
>Get your hearing checked yearly by an
audiologist. Knowing that one-third
of baby boomers think they might have hearing loss, it’s important to get your
hearing checked at all ages, not just when there is a notice of hearing
loss.
>Get up to speed on the latest
technologies – from hearing aids with Bluetooth technology to hearing aid
dispensers like the Energizer EZ Change, it’s easier than ever to remain active.
>Be sure to maintain all of your vital
devices. Blood pressure
monitors, glucose monitors and insulin pumps should have back-up batteries
available at all times.
