Hiking Tours For The Senior Citizens - Lead A Happier, Healthier Life

'In every course of nature, one receives much more than he seeks' - John Muir

In recent years we have met with extraordinary travelers who, despite suffering from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, obesity, osteoporosis and back pain, call the high-grade monastery of Bhutan tours, remote Ladakh villages, Shimla Manali's tours to snow-covered mountain range or spectacular scenery of Mulayangiri Hills and the challenge of walking rough, uneven terrain for 2-6 hours during the trip to Senior Citizens + Voyagers Travel and Adventure Club.

If you think walking too difficult or too complicated for your age and health, then you are interested in knowing that walking is actually only outdoors. If you can walk, you can walk. Walking is an own pace activity that has multiple health benefits for the elderly, which require four different types of exercise: stamina, strengthening, stretch and balance. Walking includes all four types of exercise because it improves heart health, reduces muscle loss, keeps your body flexible and increases balance while falling. Let me explain you some benefits of walks in detail and traveler stories have become the hiker of Senior Citizens + Voyagers Travel and Adventure.

Walking For Better Cardiovascular Power

A moderate walk requires 3-8 km of distances, mostly through hills and mountains up and down, so the heart needs to pump harder to meet the oxygen demand, increase blood flow to the muscles and the brain. Regular walking reduces blood pressure and cholesterol, a common cause of cardiovascular disease.

Walking To Reduce Arthritis and Knee Pain

Millions of adults and half of all people aged 60+ and older are harassed by arthritis. Osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis in older people, begins when removing tissue called cartilage that connects bones into a joint. Walking and walking in older age is a great form of exercise that helps to compress and release cartilage in knees, helping circulate synovial fluid that brings oxygen and feeds and removes inflammatory waste.

Walking To Prevent Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that mainly affects older women who have enough calcium. This deficiency reduces bone density, increases the porosity and bone density of the bone, which leads to sensitivity to broken bones. Walking is a weight-bearing exercise, so requires optimal human body effort - stretching, jumping, climbing and dodging at multiple intervals. Such a small burst of exercises at regular intervals increases bone density and makes bones stronger, reducing their susceptibility to pause. You must know that "walking trails are often softer on joints than asphalt or concrete" I believe age is a state of mind. While my children never allow me for adventure, but if I have a chance of parasailing or parachuting, I do not miss it. This time it was walking in Himalayas, which my family would say very hard for my age. Once again I won my willpower and I cannot wait to show my pictures of Tiger Nest walk to my family! One of the problems with older adults in India, especially in women, is that many adults have thought walking / walking is not for them. Many people are not aware that walking is a powerful "healthy aging" activity and helps improve balance, weight control, relief pain, depression. The feeling of freedom you get when hiking on a hill or mountain enjoys beautiful views. Scale high peaks, breathe in the fresh air - there is an undeniable sense of well-being and happiness for walking. It's so easy or challenging for you to decide, but 'Get started now, it's never too late to go!'.

Tips for Beginner Level Older or Sr. Citizen Hikers

Start Small - A short local walk for 2-4 km is good to start with. Gradually work on longer trails of 8-12 km on hills or odd grounds.
Wear A Backpack - Even for short walks carry water, snacks, sunscreen, insect spray, safety whistle and at least a small first aid kit. Consider light but energy-packing snack like a protein bar, nuts and dark chocolate. Seniors are particularly sensitive to drying out, so make sure you drink plenty of water.
Walking Stick And Shoe - Pole reduces the impact of walking on knee joints and leg muscles, especially when you walk down. In addition, as you walk on flat ground, poles reduce the body weight carried by the legs by about 5 kg per step. Buy shock absorption pole if you have weak or damaged ankles, knees or hips. Wear a comfortable shoe with spikes. Avoid wearing new shoes that cause blisters and discomfort.
Bring A Friend Or Guide - Do not go to Solo as a beginner. Traveling with a like-minded friend, walking group or a guide who knows the route well. Keep your family informed of where you are going and when you are expected to return.
Know Before Leaving - Check the local weather - suit and suit rainwear / hat, and so forth. Keep a trail map handy. The best time to go is early in the morning and late afternoon.
