With age comes physical limitations. But it’s important to stay active, says John Rinker, MD , an internal medicine physician who specializes in geriatrics at OSF HealthCare. When you keep moving, it helps reduce the risk of things like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, cancer and neurocognitive diseases like Alzheimer's. In other words, Dr. Rinker says, it’s not fun to live long if you’re not well. Your lifespan versus your health span, as he puts it. “It really, really pays to maintain exercise and be in good physical shape as you age. It reaps huge dividends on how long you live,” Dr. Rinker stresses. Guidelines Each person should have a tailored plan as advised by a health care provider.

On Sunday, Oct. 13, 2024, community members are invited to the 7u game at 10 a.m. and the 9u game at 12 p.m. to cheer on the players and enjoy a raffle and bake sale. All proceeds will go to AMH’s “You’ve Got a Friend” fund, which supports community members going through breast cancer. “We’re used to having a pretty good crowd, but I would love to see it be humongous just to support our boys playing their games as well as breast cancer research,” said Joanna Ray, marketing director of the Junior Panthers program. The games, to be played at 900 E. Franklin Avenue in Jerseyville, will encourage donations to AMH. The players will be wearing pink socks and pink eye makeup, with pink ribbons on their helmets.
