Research has shown that, In England, just 32% of men over 50 and 21% of women undertake the 'recommended' 30 minutes of daily exercise (be that walking, cycling or swimming). In Scotland that figure is 29% and 19% per cent respectively.

Over 50 and Travelling Abroad?
Are you over 50 and planning a trip? Whatever your age, it is worth planning any journeys in the UK or abroad thoroughly. Here are a few extra things to think about before you go away.
Are you on any medication? Be sure you have enough for the whole journey, including all your travel time i.e. Flights. Ask your doctor before you go if you need any extra amounts to cover you for the whole period of time you are away. Check in advance for any laws against taking certain medications into certain countries. It is a good idea to obtain a doctors note just in case.
Do you have any particular health requirements, or are you diagnosed with an illness? If so it is advisable to consult your doctor before taking any long journeys, especially flights. If you have an on-going condition you may need a doctors consent to travel. Consult your insurance company or travel advisor for advice. Don’t forget to visit your doctor or nurse before going away to make sure your vaccinations are all up to date – you made need boosters.

Are you laughing yet?
If you are over 50 then you deserve a little more respect from financial services organisations for good reason. The over 45’s own 80% of the country’s wealth and the over 50’s have a 30% higher disposable income than those under 50.
The older population has the same car or home insurance requirement as the rest of the population or indeed any other financial product and as mature decision makers who are on the whole more responsible they are a valuable segment of the UK population.
The U.K.’s over 50 population is worth a combined £175 billion, with this in mind remember your consumer value to the industry and keep well informed.
