The health and lifestyle benefits of ‘right-sizing’
WE ALL know the phrase ‘down-sizing’ and it can be a daunting concept.
Then consider the words streamline, simplify or de-clutter. Feel better? These words all create positive feelings.
GemLife Highfields sales manager Rachael Benham said de-cluttering our lives can have multiple benefits for our lifestyle and our health.
“We use the term ‘right-sizing’,” Ms Benham said.
“It’s a good concept for people no matter what their age or stage of life, but it is particularly beneficial for over 50s who might be going through the empty nest stage.”
Right-sizing is the concept of prioritising all aspects of your life and focusing on what is most important, and what truly makes you happy.
It’s about right-sizing the way you spend your time, just as much as right-sizing possessions and de-cluttering your home.
“GemLife Resorts provide a fresh concept for over 50s living,” Ms Benham said.
“We provide an active and social community for likeminded people.
“Homes are luxurious and spacious, with two or three bedrooms and entertainment areas, but they are also designed to be low-maintenance.”
Less time spent on home maintenance is one important aspect of right-sizing.
“GemLife provides a Country Club, with world-class facilities similar to those you would find in a five-star resort,” Ms Benham said.
“Residents have access to a swimming pool, tennis court, gymnasium, games room, bowling green and cinema onsite, just to name a few,” she said.
“Everything is provided to support an active and healthy lifestyle with minimum fuss for the home owner.
“We know that as we get older, appropriate exercise can provide benefits for bone strength, blood pressure, heart health and so much more.”
Right-sizing allows more time for the things most beneficial to our physical, emotional and social well-being, whether that’s exercise, sports, leisure or time with family.
GemLife Highfields is conveniently located with all of Toowoomba’s amenities and community services on the doorstep.
