September is Healthy Aging Month – So Age Healthily and Go Bowling

Sept. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Everyone knows that getting enough sleep, eating right and keeping active are the keys to living longer – and enjoying life more.

The “keeping active” part is hard for some folks to actually do. So the more than 35 members of the South East Michigan Bowling Centers Association (http://www.sembca.com/) offer a bit of practical advice: no matter how old you are, go bowling.

Did you know the oldest bowling league member was 107 years old? Or that bowlers in their 90s still bowl perfect 300 games? Bowling is a great lifelong sport that keeps everyone from little kids to really old kids in good humor as well as good shape. Bowlers use more than 130 muscles during a game and burn close to 200 calories – so think of all those calories burned in a lifetime… .

You can bowl by yourself, with a few friends – or join a Fall bowling league. They’re starting up now for all ages – and there’s a South East Michigan Bowling Center not that far away. Find the nearest one at www.sembca.com – the new online home of the South East Michigan Bowling Centers Association.
