Senior citizens who are looking for new and useful ways to stay active and healthy may want to look to the Louisiana Tigerettes as models of inspiration.

According to CBS News, the Tigerettes have accumulated a record of 195 wins against five losses and have won seven gold medals at the U.S. Senior Olympics, but their greatest accomplishment is the health and fitness benefits they've accrued while playing.

Loretta Hill, 72, told the news source she is more toned and her posture is better since she joined the team.

"We are not destined to go from lean flank steak in our 40s if you think visually of what our muscles look like, to flabby rump roast," Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon, told the news source. "We do not have to become that way if we interject exercise throughout a lifetime."

Playing organized basketball may not be for everyone, but it is still important senior citizens remain active and pursue a healthy lifestyle even in old age. Good health will also go a long way toward affordable life insurance coverage. Comparing life insurance quotes online is a smart way to shop for a policy.
