Exercise

 You may be worth Crores, but as the saying goes Health is Wealth. This you realize when you have a failing health and would give away all the money to alleviate the pain you are facing. As a young lad or gentlemen, you tend to ignore health thinking it is part of fun to not exercise or go to gym.

Suddenly, upon reaching the age of 50 or even 60 you find yourself like regular SIPs you either missed out on investment and thought of become rich is dead or been doing it regularly.

It has been found and I can vouch for it, that after 60 your flexibility becomes less (unless you are doing yoga) and body tends to stiffen. The exercise of bending and touching toes which you used to do becomes a huge task.

The most influential areas, according to me, that need to be exercised regularly like SIPs are the shoulder and legs. These are the two pillars of old age. Mere walking, as per me, is not sufficient. Shoulder and legs have to be exercised till you feel the pain and can sweat it out. Mere walking may be good, but it does not push you to achieve a bit more that will hold you in good stead.

A simple daily 10 mins of Tai Chi (or yoga or pilates or whatever you decide) to strengthen the muscles on the shoulder and legs are important as you go into 50's and 60's.

The reason for Tai Chi is it looks simple, but the 1 minute repetition of the  exercise for 10-15 mins, makes you sweat.

One more advice once you cross 60 is dont run around like you are in 30's and always hold on to support while doing something as leg muscles turn rubbery and a fall can cause a huge issue.
