PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND YOUR HEART HEALTH

Regular physical activity is one of the best things you can do for your heart health.

Increasing your physical activity from as little as 10 minutes a day to the Australian Government’s recommended 30 to 45 minutes a day, five or more days of the week can help reduce your risk of heart disease and heart attacks. It can also prevent and manage many conditions and diseases, including some cancers, type 2 diabetes and depression.

SLEEP AND AGEING: SLEEP TIPS FOR OLDER ADULTS

As we age, we often experience normal changes in our sleeping patterns, such as becoming sleepy earlier, waking up earlier, or not sleeping as deeply. However, disturbed sleep, waking up tired every day, and other symptoms of insomnia are NOT a normal part of ageing.

Sleep is just as important to your physical and emotional health as it was when you were younger. A good night’s sleep helps improve concentration and memory formation, allows your body to repair any cell damage that occurred during the day, and refreshes your immune system, which in turn helps to prevent disease.

Older people who don’t sleep well are more likely to suffer from depression, attention and memory problems, excessive daytime sleepiness, and experience more nighttime falls. Insufficient sleep can also lead to serious health problems, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, weight problems, and breast cancer in women.

To improve your quality of sleep it’s important to understand the underlying causes of your sleep problems. The following tips can help you identify and overcome age-related sleep problems, get a good night’s rest, and improve the quality of your waking life.

CREAMY TUSCAN CHICKEN

Be sure to have some crusty bread on hand, because this sauce is divine.

When it comes to chicken breast recipes, its hard to beat this one. The sauce is simple, but so flavorful.

It’s full of garlic, tomatoes, and most importantly, cream. It’s bright and easy and just as good in the summer as it is in the winter. It’s a great dinner for when you want comfort food and good enough to serve to dinner guests.

We love it with bread, but you can also serve it over rice or pasta!

THE UNPARALLELED BENEFITS OF LAND LEASE LIVING WITH VIVACITY PROPERTY

Land Lease Living is a term that we know some people are unfamiliar with, and so in this article, we hope to clarify this concept and highlight its numerous benefits. From financial freedom to a worry-free lifestyle, find out how you could unlock the extraordinary advantages of Land Lease Living with Vivacity Property.

Land Lease Living offers you the opportunity to own your home while leasing the land it sits on. This unique arrangement provides financial freedom, allowing you to enjoy the capital gains when you decide to sell. Say goodbye to the worries of land ownership and hello to a relaxed and enriched life.

One of the greatest benefits of Land Lease Living is affordability. With Vivacity Property, you can own a quality home in one of our 5-star communities at a fraction of the cost of traditional house/land options. Our Land Lease communities are strategically located throughout NSW, offering residents the perfect combination of desirable locations, resort-like amenities, and a stress-free way of life. It’s your chance to downsize your home while supersizing your lifestyle, surrounded by beautiful facilities without the burden of maintenance.

At Vivacity Property, we believe in simplicity and transparency. Instead of buying the land, you purchase a new or established house within our secure communities and pay a weekly or fortnightly site fee to lease the land. It’s a perfect package that grants you the security of homeownership, a vibrant sense of community, and access to exceptional recreational amenities. Experience the freedom to enjoy life without the financial worries that often come with traditional homeownership or retirement village entry. Site fees vary but typically start at $200–$210 per week at Tallowood, paid fortnightly. If you are eligible for Rent Assistance, your weekly site cost will be reduced based on your financial situation. For more detailed information about on-site fee calculations, please visit www.landleaseliving.com.

Rest assured, when you choose Land Lease Living with Vivacity Property, you own your home 100% at an affordable price point. Unlike the traditional retirement living model, there are no corporate deferred management fees, entry fees, or exit fees. Your tenure is highly secure, as our communities operate under the Residential (Land Lease) Communities Act 2013 in NSW. This legislation safeguards fair trade practices and ensures the highest standards of governance in residential communities.

And here’s some fantastic news: you won’t have to pay stamp duty on the purchase of your home in our communities. This is just one of the many savings you can enjoy, making Land Lease Living with Vivacity Property an even more attractive option.

Are you ready to explore the unmatched benefits of Land Lease Living? Take the first step towards a fulfilling retirement by talking to us today. Simply contact our knowledgeable team to learn more about one of Vivacity Property’s Land Lease communities and upcoming releases.

BITE-SIZED EXERCISE THE KEY TO IMPROVED HEALTH FOR SENIORS

For those of us who want to be fit, but are turned off by the prospect of long and exhausting sessions at the gym, lifting weights, and pounding aerobics, this news could be life changing.

Researchers say short bursts of regular bodyweight at-home-strength-training is enough for people over 65 to maintain movement and enhance their quality of life. It’s called ‘exercise snacking’ – a routine of five different exercises such as:

• single-leg knee bends
• sit to stand, or
• single-leg quarter squats, all performed continuously for one minute, with a one-minute passive recovery break in-between.

The key to successful fitness is to perform the exercise routines at least once per day.

It’s well known that as we age, we lose skeletal muscle mass, strength, power, and functional capacity. In turn, that can affect independence and the risk of disease and mortality.

Dr Jackson Fyfe of Deakin University wants to break down the traditional barriers to fitness that older Australians face and instil long-lasting healthy habits that keep them mobile into the twilight years. “The benefits of exercise are well known, but despite this just 6 per cent of adults aged 50 and over meet the current guidelines for muscle resistance training,” Dr Fyfe said.
