• Choose an activity you enjoy. But make sure it’s also a match physically. If you have sore joints because of arthritis, for example, swimming may be a good fit. • Buddy up. When a family member or friend is counting on you, you’re more likely to show up for a morning walk or trip to the gym. • Mix it up. You’re more likely to stay motivated—and injury-free—if you vary your routine. Try walking one day and biking the next. Or play sports with the kids or grandkids. Even mowing the lawn adds movement and activity. • Track your activity. Use an app on your phone, wear an activity tracker or just mark your calendar every day you exercise. Never too late to start While this research clearly shows the benefits of lifelong physical activity, it’s never too late to add exer-
cise to your routine—and boost your health. Being active late in life can help you stay independent, feel more energetic, protect your heart, control your weight, and manage symptoms of illness and pain. Ask your doctor what exercise is right for you, especially if you have a health
problem. A good goal for many people is at least 30 minutes of exercise five days a week. But start slowly and build gradually from there. And remember: Being physically active doesn’t have to mean strenuous workouts. It can be as simple as a daily walk

Pictured is Evelyn, Wisdom teeth, also known asdaughter of Dr. Christi & Tyson Larson third molars, are the last teeth to erupt in your mouth. Third molars however frequently become impacted due to a lack of space in the dental arch and their growth and eruption may be prevented by overlying gum, bone, or another tooth. Impacted third molars can be painful and lead to infection. However, not all problems related to third molars are painful or visible. These teeth may eventually crowd or damage adjacent teeth or roots. Sometimes they may even be associated with the growth of certain cysts or tumors. As wisdom teeth grow, their roots become longer and therefore more difficult to remove. This is why it is often recommended to remove impacted third molars when the roots are one-third to two-thirds formed, usually between the ages of seventeen and twenty.

A lifetime of exercise could help you turn back time, new research suggests. Two studies found that regular exercise helps offset several effects of typical aging. Researchers looked at a group of amateur cyclists, ranging in age from 55 to 79, who had been physically active for more than twenty years. And they compared the cyclists to a control group of people who hadn’t been regularly active. The researchers found that the cyclists didn’t lose muscle mass or strength as they aged—contrary to a common trend. The cyclists neither added body fat nor wound up with higher cholesterol levels. The male cyclists’ testosterone levels also remained high, suggesting they avoided “male menopause.” What’s more, the cyclists’ immune systems didn’t seem to age either, researchers reported. Normally, the thymus—an organ that makes disease-fighting T cells—starts making fewer of these cells after age 20. But the cyclists’ thymuses were making as many T cells as those of a young person. These findings suggest that regular physical activity is the closest you can get to the fountain of youth. The takeaway, said the researchers, is that the cyclists didn’t exercise because they were
