COME ON : GOLF ON

in health •  6 years ago 

I was introduced to golf by one of my colleagues and quite liked the game. I do play now and then but not as much as I should.

With golf participation falling drastically over the past decade in both the US and UK, the sport's insiders have been preaching its health benefits as a way to stem the decline.

International consensus statement analysed 400 studies and found golfers have an increase in life expectancy of about 5 years. Cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure levels are all improved by playing golf, along with better balance and strength for players > 60 years, reducing the risk of falls and sparing healthcare costs.

The physical benefits were mostly a result of walking and swinging. One significant risk is over exposure to sun and players are encouraged wearing sun screen.
