Keeping your skin younger looking is harder than thought especially for seniors and elderly since our skin must be one of the most troublesome parts of natural aging. As we age, it becomes important for us to care for our skin, since our skin tends to be more susceptible to infections and diseases, not to mention the changes it naturally undergoes such as dryness, itching and even scaling of the [...]

The problem with job seeking seniors is, most of the time, they had been out of the playing field far too long that they don’t know how to play the game anymore! Similar to dating, times have changed. Those which worked before such as pickup lines and dining out may no longer be applicable today and may even cost you your chance of getting the job you want. Before you [...]

Seniors need to be wise about spending their retirement money. It doesn’t mean that upon retirement, you are entitled to spend everything your nest egg holds—that might have worked years ago but certainly not now and not in the near future either. It seems that the best thing to do now is to find ways to “supplement” your retirement fund so you can live comfortably by it. Here are some [...]

Let’s face it, sometimes it gets really frustrating at work especially if your career has already become a routine for you. Or perhaps you lost interest and would rather do something else.

A trip to your neighborhood hospital is scary enough, adding to your physical sufferings though is the amount you are most likely to pay after you receive the much needed care. For seniors, your insurances and coverage can only do so much.

Your weight loss woes do not end with bariatric surgery. It should never be considered as a cure for obesity, instead it should be treated as an aid to boost you on your way to healthy eating—and living, in general. This is where, oftentimes, obese seniors who underwent the knife go wrong—they instantly assume that bariatric surgery will automatically slim them down without having to exert any effort at all! [...]

Healthy lifestyle and vacations don’t really mix well, if you are to ask me. If you are out there with all intentions of having fun and not holding back, is it possible to still remember you are on a diet? Or perhaps remember that old, trusty running shoes you have packed to start your day with a 30-minute power run everyday for the whole duration of your summer vacation? Even [...]

Lately, I have been obsessed about obesity—as evident to my recent posts. I don’t know, maybe there are things that when you start talking about, it just never ends. And yes, I have been a fervent devotee of seniors leading an active, healthy lifestyle—one that has a fit body and able to walk at least a hundred steps without having to catch their breath. A dreamer, yes I am, since [...]

For a senior with limited range of motion, food preparation becomes almost impossible. That must be the reason why Meals on Wheels and other nutrition programs for seniors are popular. Nonetheless, we still need to have something in the pantry for a quick fix in cases of emergency, that is, if food is nowhere to be found!

Problem with an aging body is that, more often that not, we lose energy even before we get through the bottom of our everyday to-do list. Like it or not, the unlucky bottom ones would then be pushed to the next day or to the nearest, most convenient day our schedule will allow—probably next year.
