Sometimes—especially in cases of severe depression attacks—it becomes harder to appreciate the things that come with aging. Really, not everybody can be happy with wrinkly skin and failing health right? These are the times when we have to remind ourselves that there still are things not only getting better but worth being proud of with age. Below is a list of things seniors can use to remind themselves how lucky [...]

We often find ourselves examining the way we eat and make a painstaking effort to adjust them to the way they are supposed to be. Healthy eating says eat more fruit and veggies and avoid red meat as we grow old since the former will give our body more fiber and the latter to prolong our lives—whatever that means. Even if we don’t understand half of it, we faithfully follow [...]

When it comes to spa treatments, seniors tend to be very specific with what they want and results are very important as it should be visible and instant! If not, expect these seniors to not come back to the spa facility or try that treatment for as long as they live! Hence, it is very important for spa owners to create a good “menu” of what their establishment has to [...]

Mobility is one of the most important things in a senior’s life. It represents freedom and at the same time, independence—the ability to do whatever you want, whenever you want without having to depend on someone else. That is why we refuse to hand over our car keys even if we’re too blind to see road signs and mistakenly parked the car at the neighbor’s garage the other day. Over [...]

That is not me discouraging seniors but more of warning them that running, like any other form of exercise, needs to have a prepared [...]

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! Here are some things you can keep in stock as they are healthy [...]

It is important for us seniors to engage in activities that will benefit our health. However, having too many choices to choose from makes it harder for us to decide what really is best for us. For me, whatever makes you sweat and pant like a dog is totally fine but if a certain exercise will help you get that youthful swag, then why not?.. Which boils down to two [...]

Ever wonder how your diet can affect the way you age? Or if it indeed delays aging for even a bit?.. I have always believed that aging is inevitable and one way or another, we will all die. Well, that’s two of the most obvious things in life for me—given facts even. However, I would not like it a bit if I go all wrinkled up and hunched over just [...]

We all know how important it is to stay active. Your body is designed to move and not doing that will only encourage deterioration. However, battling with bad knees and angry hips can really discourage even the bravest of hearts. It is but normal to doubt especially for seniors who are afraid of further inflicting damage to an already broken body. Unfortunately, there is no way around it. You need [...]

It’s a good thing people are starting to look at many great possibilities of adapting healthy habits, including of course, healthy lifestyle. I can still remember those days when going to gyms and working out were solely for body builders with bulging muscles and angry veins. It’s either that or the aerobics class wherein your undies should be worn on top of your leggings. Just imagine how it was for [...]
