It's
easy to believe that vision loss means you can't have an active
lifestyle. The facts tell a different story. The U.S. Association
of Blind Athletes estimates that it has helped more than 100,000 men
and women with vision loss become top athletes in the last 30 years.
And this figure is just for elite athletes. Millions more
individuals with vision loss lead health-conscious, active lives,
participating in exercise programs, fitness groups, and activity
clubs on a regular basis. In many instances, people decided to be
more active and health conscious only after vision loss became a
factor in their lives.
The
key, as with most challenges in life, is equal parts courage,
consistency, and motivation.
Many
older adults experiencing age-related vision loss may feel
discouraged when it comes to maintaining or starting an active
lifestyle. One of Senior Site's goals is to reassure, assist, and
encourage you to remain active throughout life's journey. Having
vision loss does not mean you are helpless. Just ask the hundreds of
thousands of elite and recreational athletes of every age who are not
letting vision loss prevent them from living full, active lives.
And
there is no better time to start than right now!
