Depression especially in our older adults is of very serious concern, there are millions of elderly, over 65, that are experiencing depression, and yes also the men, especially those over 85, who are actually facing the contemplation of suicide. And, it seems that many of these cases are not diagnosed, they go untreated, and no help is offered.

There are now many places that offer Tai Chi, especially for the elderly. If you know anyone in these circumstances, please, talk to them, and see if they may be interested in this!

Or, try Tai Chi Online

Some of our Grandmothers used to: knit, others read, some sat in their rocking chairs. And today’s Grandmothers? They Do Tai Chi!

Today’s motto…You are never too old to learn.

Many seniors (and some of them “very seniors” prefer Tai Chi to knitting.  Imagine.

Tai Chi is a very gentle art of exercise with many benefits, and the seniors recognize that they can do this form of exercise.

Check in your neighborhood for lessons…or, try the online Tai Chi program.

And remember, always consult YOUR health professional first.

The videos make it all very clear. I think you will be able to master the art.

“Anti-aging is a phrase that we all have become familiar with, it somehow makes us feel like we can turn back the hands of time, capture the fountain of youth. “Marlies White” uses a phrase called “Age Management”, and I love that phrase. Getting old does NOT mean losing control of how we look, behave and are perceived by others.

Here are some tips to manage your aging

1 – Exercise – keep yourself in shape both healthwise and lookwise…getting older doesn’t have to mean getting fatter. Exercising will also help your breathing…and we all know oxygen IS the fountain of youth!

2 – If possible, do a lot of volunteering. Helping others can keep you mentally younger and feeling good about yourself. Volunteer for both the elderly and the youngsters.

3 – Eat nutritious foods. Getting old doesn’t mean that you can eat what you want (unfortunately). Keep healthy and youthful by eating the right foods.

4 – Enjoy relationships. Aging doesn’t mean dead

Age Management! I love it.
