Bone and Joint Changes
At 70, many women experience lower bone density and joint stiffness. Bones may become more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures. Regular weight-bearing activity and adequate calcium and vitamin D can help maintain strength.
Heart and Circulation
The heart and blood vessels change with age. Blood pressure may rise, and arteries can become less flexible. Routine checkups, balanced nutrition, and gentle exercise support cardiovascular health.
Skin, Mobility, and Daily Function
Skin often becomes thinner and drier, and healing slows. Muscle mass may decrease, affecting balance and mobility. Stretching, strength exercises, and proper hydration help preserve function.
