Nowadays, fighting stress is more of an every day battle with an invisible foe. I can still remember when I was younger and I would finish my day’s work with still a little energy to spare at the end of the day to play with the kids or go out with my partner. Not that I am comparing it with my energy levels today as it won’t really be possible [...]

Just because we seniors are used to taking prescription drugs it doesn’t mean we should use them all the time, in fact, it is better if we can find ways other than drugs and medications to alleviate our health conditions so that we can spare our bodies from further damage caused by these methods. Granted, some of age-related health maladies cannot be cured without the use of synthetic drugs but [...]

Our eyes are important and I cannot stress this enough. We, being seniors, should know that macular degeneration, alongside with several other eye problems come with aging. Causes might also be the way we use—and abuse—our eyes, it can also be lifestyle related since it was reported that smoking can also cause macular degeneration, then there is the gene factor which tells us that eye problems are almost always hereditary [...]

Sex is good. At any age. Just as long as you can handle it.

According to a research done by Dr. David Bennett, the director of Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center, two of the most important factors to prevent the onset of Alzheimer are staying socially connected and having high levels of education—and I am not talking about a college degree or the cookie points you earn from school, it’s your zest for learning new things and acquiring new skills every now and then. Furthermore, [...]

Who says seniors need to go out there, to a place called jungle, with wild animals fiercely competing for a coveted position, just to get a job? Do you still have what it takes to land a job considering the fact that you might injure yourself in doing so? Kudos to those who still have it in them—the fighting spirit, but for those seniors who have already thrown their hands [...]

Now that we are aging right according to schedule, it is important that we also move on to doing better and worthwhile things. We’re now done with regular life troubles such as making money, keeping the family intact, making sure you have enough to keep the roof over your head and food on the table, etc. It’s now time to satisfy your inner calling and give back to the world [...]

Who says Valentine’s Day is only for the young ones? Of course, it’s also an occasion for the young-at-hearts namely, us, seniors. I am not a bit embarrassed to admit that it is one of few occasions in a year when I get all excited, and dreamy, and all swoony. You can’t really blame me, with all the things I need to attend to 24/7, it’s kind of hard to [...]

Foodborne illnesses are physical conditions and illnesses you are most likely to get when you consume bacteria, virus, or parasite-contaminated food. These conditions are also called as food poisoning although symptoms are not always similar to that of a person being poisoned.

I would like to think that we were too [...]
