Home Exercise Programs Prove to Guard Against Hip Fractures in High-Risk Elderly Women

If you are unable to get out for regular exercise, a home exercise program may help high-risk elderly women avoid falls that lead to hip fractures. A seven year study of 160 Finnish seniors reveals women in the exercise group were less likely to receive fractures of any kind and had no hip fractures when compared to those in the control group.


The exercising group scored better on tests related to:
  • walking speed
  • walking distance
  • functional ability
  • and mood
Falls in the elderly population are responsible for at least 90% of all hip fractures according to a spokesperson from the Oulu Deaconess Institute in Finland. Hip fractures also have the greatest effects on the elderly's lifestyle because they are associated with high mortality rates and increased morbidity.
A conclusion of this study was:
  • home-based exercises followed by voluntary home training had a positive long-term effect on balance and gait in high-risk elderly women

Protein is vital for building strong bones and muscles. One easy way of getting more protein in your daily meal plans is to use the Life's Abundance Plant Protein Powder:
Our 100% grain-free, plant-based protein powder is a nutrient-rich blend of clean, high-quality proteins including pea, chia, pumpkin, hemp and quinoa.
At only 120 calories, it contains 15 grams of high-quality protein in every serving. For comparison, one-half of a boneless chicken breast, cooked is about 13 grams of protein and 115 calories.
Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is absolutely delicious and you can feel great about drinking it every day, because each and every ingredient was carefully chosen for its quality and safety.
While other protein powders use sunflower oil, we decided not to use this oil because it is high in omega-6 fatty acids, a fat that is much too prevalent in the American diet. Our Life’s Abundance Plant Protein contains non-GMO coconut oil powder, which is a great source of beneficial fatty acids that are easily absorbed. In addition, this health-promoting oil adds to the delicious taste and smooth texture of our blend.
Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is ideal for pre or post workouts, breakfast or whenever you need a healthy boost of energy from protein or a quick on-the-go snack.
With a superior taste and texture, it mixes easily with water into a silky smooth, rich and satisfying shake. Add to smoothies, pancakes, baked goods, oatmeal and more for a delicious way to increase protein.

Love Pumpkin? Pumpkins Are Full of Nutrition

Eat more pumpkin! You don't have to wait for the Halloween and Thanksgiving seasons. If you do, you are missing out on a nutritional boost and bargain. Pumpkins are nutrient-dense. They deliver:


  • a modest amount of protein and fiber
  • a mix of essential minerals
  • vitamins C and E
  • and especially beta-carotene that is a form of Vitamin A
  • they are only 49 calories per cup
The original source of pumpkins is from the Americas when colonists learned about them from native tribes. Pumpkins arrived in Europe at about the Shakespeare era. Even then, pumpkin was seen as being good for you and even used to try and treat many ailments including freckles and snake bite.
There is no one food that is considered "most healthy" and containing all the nutrition we need, however, regular consumption of pumpkin should be considered as part of a healthy diet. Don't wait until the holidays to nourish your body with pumpkin.
Nutrition found in one cup of pumpkin:
  • 2 grams of protein
  • 3 grams fiber
  • 12 grams carbohydrates
  • 564 milligrams potassium (more than in one banana and about 1/8 of what you need daily)
  • copper
  • manganese
  • zinc
  • iron
  • selenium
  • magnesium
  • Vitamin C
  • riboflavin
  • Vitamin E 
  • 5.125 milligrams of beta carotene
One cup of cooked pumpkin with the beta carotene may reduce:
  • risk of breast cancer in premenopausal women (especially those at higher risk)
  • risk of ovarian cancer
  • may help arthritis from getting worse
  • beta carotene from food improves physical performance and strength in older people
Pumpkin is also rich in:
  • lutein and zeaxanthin which improves eye health and may guard against cataracts and age-related macular degeneration

As a supplement to your already healthy diet, try Life's Abundance Multivitamins. This is a daily multivitamin promising to give you just enough of what you need and not too much.
Unfortunately, four out of five people don't get the recommended daily allowance of vitamins and minerals through food alone. That's why supplementing your diet with a multivitamin is so important.
To ensure a balance between getting just enough and not overdoing it, we formulated our Life’s Abundance Multivitamin. This unique supplement provides you with a focused approach to daily wellness. That’s important because instead of bombarding your body with an endless list of vitamins and minerals, like other dietary supplements, we included only the nutrients you need for optimal health and nothing you don’t. Plus the proprietary spice blend and black pepper fruit extract in this supplement, supply you with an additional nutrition boost.
This multivitamin supplement is in vegan-friendly, veggie capsules that do not contain magnesium stearate. The capsules are made from cellulose, which not only helps protect sensitive ingredients but also breaks down and delivers nutrients more quickly than the compressed tablets you can find on store shelves.
Life’s Abundance Multivitamin is a wise choice for those who wish to take a sensible, focused approach to daily supplementation!
