Seniors – Ready to Dance

By
September 9, 2025

We all remember our younger days when going to “the dance” was a much sought after event. Dancing was a
pastime that most of us enjoyed in our youth. However, as we got older, we danced less, probably engaged in it
only on special occasions, such as a wedding or a party of some sort. When we get to be seniors, we may feel that
we are too old to dance, or that dancing might be too strenuous for us. However, dancing has benefits that even
those of us who are seniors can benefit from.

By
July 9, 2025

We may feel exhausted, out of breath, listless, and drained of energy. However, these symptoms may not be entirely due to the summer heat and humidity. Many of the symptoms just mentioned are also symptoms of a condition known as anemia, a deficiency in red blood cells, which leads to low levels of hemoglobin in the body.

By
June 25, 2025

Perhaps one of the more neglected groups in human society over the course of human history has been the deaf and those with hearing impairment. It is only in recent times that efforts have been made to accommodate the needs of those who are unable to hear and therefore to communicate through sound. American Sign Language (ASL) was introduced only in the early 1800s, only recently that it has become widely used by the hearing impaired and those who need to interact with them daily.

Those over 65 years of age are aware of the changes that take place in our body as we age. Our eyesight gets poor, our hearing becomes less sensitive, our muscles lose their firmness, we get
tired more easily, our memory is not as good as it once was. However, there is one change that is not obvious, and it occurs without any noticeable outwards signs – this is what makes it dangerous,
especially during summer. When the heat causes us to sweat more, and our body’s water supply becomes depleted.

A New Approach to Aging

By
June 6, 2024

Human attitude towards growing old has always been one of resignation. We accept aging as part of life, the way life is supposed to be. Along with growing old, probably we have come to expect poorer health. We see sickness as part of what it means to age.

According to current estimates, 80 percent of people over the age of 65 have at least one chronic illness, and 68 percent have two or more chronic illnesses. However, in recent decades, scientists have begun taking a new approach to thinking about and dealing with aging.
