Along with poor memory, seniors are noted to suffer from poor concentration as they age. While these two don’t really mean the same thing, they go hand-in-hand which frustrates seniors the most. One good way to measure the level of concentration you have right now is to test if you can still multitask and remember each and every detail that comes with each task. It won’t be easy and it [...]

Who says seniors are not anymore up for some dancing? Actually, seniors prefer dancing classes than going to the gym and lifting some weights. If you ask a group of seniors, especially senior women, they will tell you that they rather dance to a tune than concentrate in making their muscles all primed and bulked (which is a common misconception by the way since it is impossible for women to [...]

Pain is almost synonymous to aging. As we age, aches and pains of the body will become noticeable and in some cases, it can even affect our quality of life. I remember the first pain I have ever experienced that stayed with me from then on came from my knees. I was still in my 30s, right after I delivered my second child. Back then, I was told that the [...]

In our attempt to fight natural skin aging, seniors should know that there is a skin reaction which makes your natural aging process go faster than normal. With that said, you know that it is something you would want to avoid at all cost. Trying to keep your skin away from harsh conditions will tell you that the sun is not really your bestfriend, no matter how good you’ll look, [...]

Mediation is good for seniors since it helps in improving your ability to focus. Researches even suggest that it delays early onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease as meditation stimulates the mind. Aside from that, meditation is a good destressor which can help seniors prevent anxiety and depression from happening. However, meditation is not without myths and unfortunately, some seniors cringe away from meditation because of the idea it connotes. [...]

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 [...]

Funny how we begin to think about improving our spiritual state as we age, just think of how insignificant it was when we were younger. Maybe it really does come with age, or perhaps we are already coming into terms with death and near-death which only makes us think how we need to hold on to something especially our inner selves. I would like to think that we were too [...]

If there is one thing seniors will learn in any meditation class is that they have to live in the now, not in the past and not for the future—that is, if you want to avoid stress. However, trying to focus on what’s happening now is not that easy especially nowadays that people are brainwashed to rushing things as if there is a fast forward button in life. Of course, [...]

I would like to put blame on the holidays for triggering my unhealthy cravings. Personally, I noticed that if I resist them long enough, the cravings don’t come strong however, if I give in two consecutive cravings then it will be a lot stronger the next time so the best possible way for me to control them is not to give in at all—hence the blame on the holidays. For [...]
