How to keep your brain sharp into your golden years

How to keep your brain sharp into your golden years

  In our society today, sadly many health issues are accepted as “normal” consequences of aging. These include impaired hearing, weight gain, arthritis, reduced stamina, constipation, and the one that is probably feared the most… mental impairment ! As in, forgetfulness, dementia, “CRS disease.” But the thing is, NONE of these issues are “normal” and certainly are not a “given” as we age! The reason they rear their ugly heads as we get older is...

6 Sharp brain strategies to help prevent dementia

6 Sharp brain strategies to help prevent dementia

  Here is a little joke that will start your day with a chuckle:  Two elderly women (Mildred and Harriet) were out for a drive. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The light was red, but Mildred just went on through. Harriet thought to herself, "I could have sworn we just went through a red light."

Why are we seeing so much aggression and violence?

Why are we seeing so much aggression and violence?

  This question popped into my head as I was driving north on I-95 the other day and witnessed at least five instances of road rage or extremely aggressive driving.  I swear in one case it looked like a car was trying to run another one off the road! Of course acts of aggression and violence are not limited to people driving on highways.  Practically every day there are reports of another shooting, mass shooting,...

Do you have high levels of this “silent killer”?

Do you have high levels of this “silent killer”?

  April is Stress Awareness Month. While I think most of us are pretty well aware of stress, I suspect many people might not know just how harmful it can be, especially when it’s chronic and ongoing. Although the medical community calls high blood pressure the “silent killer,” I think that term better applies to stress, since stress is something we ALL deal with.
