I'd like to share a tip on better aging. Studies have found that older people who perceived aging positively performed better physically and cognitively compared to those with more-negative perceptions; they had better memory, walked faster, were more likely to recover from a serious disability, and lived longer. Studies also show that intergenerational friendships, regular exercise and walking, and even smiling positively, impact your health and psychological well-being. As you age, ask for help if you need it, such as when something is hard to reach. It is a good idea to fall-proof your home and eliminate obstacles, such as rugs. Also, please consider using walking aids if your balance is compromised.
Now, it’s time for a gentle guffaw treatment courtesy of the joke of the day. It’s called “The Woes of Aging.”
The day after visiting a fair, Kevin’s wife was quite sore.
“You know you’re past your prime when you are sore all over and all you rode was the massage chair!”
“Yes, honey!”
