Study: Exercise Can Reverse Aging Effects A new study finds aerobic exercise, including walking, can turn back time by as much as 12 to 15 years as people age. Any workout helps, but the more intense, the better the benefits. The study from Britain found people can give a 60-year-old the body of the 40-something-year-old by getting out and getting some exercise. The research confirms the long held belief that changes associated with aging cannot only be slowed, but reversed if people get moving. The reason: many of the changes that happen in aging come from inactivity.

'That's the way we were brought up' Baby boomer Debbie Giglio of Hopewell Township, left, with her mother, Eleanor Winters of Baden, fits the mold of the "sandwich generation" on caring for aging parents. Debbie Giglio's mother is quite active for a 73-year-old. Pick a day, any day, and Eleanor Winters might be out dancing with her husband, Bill, or at bingo, or on her way to the shopping mall. Although her mother is constantly on the go, it doesn't stop Giglio, 54, of Hopewell Township, from checking in on her. Even with running between a full-time job, ceramics and choir, and her own children and grandchildren. Giglio's relationship with her mother fits the mold of a recent study that found baby boomers, the generation born in the 1950s and '60s, are more committed to caring for their aging parents than members of their parents' generation were. For some, it means feeling obligated to check in, mow the lawn or move next door to their parents.
