Staying active and mobile after 50 is not just about exercise, it’s also about taking a holistic approach to your body’s needs
Gentle daily movements, attention to your pelvic floor, and mindful eating can make a big difference in your comfort, balance, and strength. In this article, you’ll find simple, practical tips for staying energized and confident using natural support options that work well with your lifestyle.
Kegel exercises: the foundation for pelvic floor strength
Kegel exercises are a simple and discreet way to keep your pelvic floor muscles toned. When done regularly, they help strengthen your core and improve your overall comfort. The key is consistency and proper technique: just a few minutes a day can make a big difference over time.
