Healthy Reflexes by Mira Skylark

Healthy Reflexes tackles the often-unseen decline in reflexes that comes with aging, offering strategies to maintain safety and independence. It highlights that diminished reflexes can impact everything from reaction time to balance, affecting overall quality of life. The book argues that proactive steps can mitigate this decline, focusing on specific exercises to maintain neural pathways and muscle strength.

Did you know that nerve conduction velocity slows with age, impacting reflex speed?
Or that sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass, also plays a significant role?

The book begins by explaining the science behind reflexes and the impact of aging, drawing from neuroscience, gerontology, and kinesiology. It then progresses to practical strategies, including coordination, balance, and reaction time exercises, complete with step-by-step instructions. The approach is evidence-based and structured, empowering readers to take control of their physical well-being through targeted Health & Fitness interventions.
