Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Maintaining physical activity and a balanced diet is crucial for the health and well-being of the elderly. Regular physical activity improves cardiovascular health, enhances muscle strength, increases flexibility, and helps maintain a healthy weight. Activities such as walking, swimming, yoga, and strength training contribute to better physical and mental health, reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis.
In addition to physical activity, nutritional supplements play a significant role in supporting the health of older adults. As people age, their bodies may require additional vitamins and minerals to address dietary deficiencies or changes in metabolism. Combining regular physical activity with appropriate nutritional supplements can enhance quality of life and reduce the risk of age-related health issues.
I invite you to publish original research papers and reviews on the current understanding of the health effects and value of physical activity and nutritional supplements. This Special Issue will significantly enhance our knowledge of aging and health.
Dr. Xiaomin Sun
Guest Editor
