Health and Fitness for Senior Citizens

Being healthy as we get older is an ideal condition, but for those that chose to get older then worry about being healthy is whole different world of wonder. In either case, the rules are about the same. The starting point is just different.

 Here are the basics:

• Eat right most of the time.
• Do a little more than you do now.
• Eliminate the really bad habits one at a time.

 Sounds easy, but it’s a little more complicated than that. I’ve spent a long time getting older and I’ve learned a few things about basics. That’s what they are “basics” and everyone is different. You have to adjust to yourself and your circumstances. I’ll just throw some good things out there and let’s see what happens.

 Eating right is the number one thing you can do for yourself. I eat lots of fruit and vegetables and I eat often. I seem to always be hungry. I’ve had people ask if that’s all I do. It’s not, but I do eat something every few hours to keep my metabolism going. I usually carry a cooler in my truck filled with goodies. My favorites are plums, pink grapefruit, nectarines, oranges and for those sweet tooth times, grapes. 

I know you can’t live on fruit and be happy. I happen to love Albacore, too! Right out of the can. If I have time, I’ll cut up a hard boiled egg and some onions and mix the tuna in with it. It’s really good and good for you. I eat at least one can of Albacore every day! Protein, fish oil and healthy! I’ll sometimes pack a piece of grilled chicken or even some leftover steak. There’s lots of ways to eat healthy, but that is a topic all by itself. I’ll get into that another time and share some recipes too!

 Doing a little more than you do right now is the next step. If you’re a couch potato, a nice one hour walks three or four times a week will do wonders. If you work all day, that’s not enough. Your body is accustomed to that routine and has no reason to change. If you make it do more than sit and have a beer at night or drink coffee and watch news in the morning, it will adjust and improve.

 I usually get up early, around 4:30 am. I’ll have my coffee and water while I workout with my stretch bands and free weights. If I’m more in the mood, I’ll go for an early morning bike ride for about an hour or two instead. There are no set rules. I gained a lot of weight about 5 years ago. I had a bad hip, high cholesterol, type two diabetes, and high blood pressure. Carrying my medications was a workout. That’s when I decided to go back to the way I was. 

I ate right, worked out two and a half hours every morning and walked 4 miles every evening. In October of last year I had a total hip replacement. I went back to work after 3 weeks. I used a cane sometimes, but I recovered quickly. Today I am 70 pounds lighter and still need to lose about 15 more, I no longer have high blood pressure nor take medication and the diabetes, my levels are normal! I now ride my bike (pedal type) and I’m even thinking about breaking out the rollerblades. I’m 54 and I will never give up.

The last and hardest part is giving up those bad habits. Smoking and drinking are always the two givens. I do both, but I continue to try. Some of the other bad habits that need to go are salt, grease, gravy, soft drinks, flour, sugar and some other things that you think you can’t live without. 

No one says you have to cut them out of your life, although that would be a good thing. Think about it. I live in the south and every thing here is deep fat fried and covered in gravy. Even the vegetables are fried. If you eat right all week and exercise, that barbecue or fish fry is not going to hurt you that much. Your body will actually let you know that you messed up and you’ll do some penance for a day or two. I have no problem enjoying a get together, a party or a barbecue. I know I was good for a long time and I’ll be back at it tomorrow. I was heading into a size 48 pants and now I’m back in my 36’s. I like that! 

If you’re one of those that can’t go without your salt, sit down with a big bowl of it and a spoon. You don’t really like it that much. Food really does taste good. It doesn’t always have to taste like breading, salt, butter or cooking oil. Really! 

So there are the basics! Food, exercise and bad habits! Easy eh? This blog is dedicated to new ideas, old ideas reborn, good food and good fun. I hope to explore them fully in the coming years and I hope you’ll share your story with us! Thank you stopping by and let me know what you think! 

I’m Michael, bye for now!

From Consumer Reports

Our 2nd annual prescription drug survey found that some Americans are splitting pills to save money on high priced prescription drugs. That strategy could indeed cut your medication bill, but there’s a right way and a wrong way to split pills. If you’re considering splitting your pills, these tips from our free pill splitting guide will help ensure that you do it the right way.

First, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether your medication can be safely split. Some medications cannot be split (more on that below), but in general, many common ones can, including aspirin, cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins, and many high blood pressure and depression drugs.

Second, always use a pill splitter to ensure you’ve split the medication into equal halves. Pill splitters are widely available from pharmacies for $3-10 dollars. Or check with your health insurance company—some will send you a pill splitter for free (it saves them money too).

Don’t split your pills with a knife. Studies show that doing so too often leads to unequal halves. Pills should only be split in half, not into smaller portions, such as thirds or quarters. The easiest pills to split are relatively flat round ones with a scored center, a slightly indented line that runs across the center of the pill. However, not every pill that has a scored center is meant to be split.

Don’t split your pills in advance. Some pills may deteriorate when exposed to air and moisture for long periods after being split. So for medications taken on a regular basis, only split your pill on the day you take the first half, and then take the other half on the second day or whenever you are scheduled to take your next dose.

If your doctor has prescribed half tablets, your pharmacy may split the pills for you. So when you pick up the prescription or a refill, ask if the pills have been split so you don’t inadvertently split them again. Also be aware that the prescription label may refer to “one tablet” even though your doctor has told you to split the pills. If you’re not sure about the label instructions or your doctor’s instructions, check before splitting or taking your medication.

There is no official or complete list of medicines that can be split. And it can actually be dangerous to split some drugs. Generally, the following kinds of pills should not be split:

Chemotherapy drugsAnti-seizure medicines Birth control pills Blood thinners (Coumadin, warfarin) Capsules of any kind that contain powders or gels Pills with a hard outside coating Pills designed to release medication over time in your body Pills that are coated to protect your stomach (enteric coating) Pills that crumble easily, irritate your mouth, taste bitter, or contain strong dyes that could stain your teeth and your mouth. Combination tablets that contain two or more medicines, in which the amount of one active ingredient changes from one tablet size to the next, but the amount of the other does not. (You’ll have to ask your doctor or pharmacist.) Hera are some examples: 

amlodipine/atorvastatin (Caduet)amlodipine/olmesartan (Azor),amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (Augmentin, and others),ezetemibe/simvastatin (Vytorin), irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide (Avalide) oxycodone/acetaminophen (Percocet, and others) sitagliptin/metformin (Janumet)

Some medications that can be split (but always check with your doctor or pharmacist beforehand; your situation may require something different):

amlodipine (Norvasc) atorvastatin (Lipitor) citalopram (Celexa) doxazosin (Cardura) finasteride (Proscar) [NOTE: Women should NOT handle crushed or broken tablets if pregnant or possibly pregnant. Broken tablets loose some of the protective outer coating, thus allowing absorption of finasteride through the skin. The drug may cause a male fetus to be born with abnormalities of its sex organs.] levothyroxine (Synthroid) lisinopril (Zestril) lovastatin (Mevacor) paroxetine (Paxil) quinapril (Accupril) sertraline (Zoloft) simvastatin (Zocor) tadalafil (Cialis) vardenafil (Levitra)

 |Fruits and vegetables are everywhere. (So why aren’t we eating them?)

It’s harvest season now, and my family suffers an embarrassment of riches. Our counters and bowls overflow with tomatoes, beans, corn, squash, cauliflower, eggplant, apples, and other delights from our garden. So I thought it odd that while I’m knee deep—sometimes literally—in this bountiful bevy of edible plant life, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) just released a dismal report on fruit and vegetable consumption in the U.S.

It found that less than a third of U.S. adults consume two or more servings of fruits a day (including fruit juices), and barely a quarter consume three or more servings of vegetables. That’s far from the goals of the government’s Healthy People 2010 initiative, which aims for at least 75 percent of us to eat that much fruit and half of us to eat that many vegetables. And even those goals are modest.

Recommendations from the USDA actually urge all adults to eat at least two to four servings of fruits a day and three to five servings of vegetables. Something’s getting lost in translation here. We’ve known for a long time that vegetables are good for us (hey, how old is Popeye?). We’re eating more and more calories every year—just take a look at our waistlines. Yet we’re not eating more of what we should. Maybe it’s cost. Maybe it’s convenience. It might be that, like my uncle, you think of vegetables as punishment.

Or maybe it’s just because produce was never a big part of your diet, and so you just don’t think of it. If that’s the case, maybe it’s time to start slipping it in. Add a slice of tomato or lettuce leaf to that burger. Put some grated carrots in taco meat. Put down the doughnut at breakfast and pick up an apple.

Something tells me your body will thank you for it.

 How am I supposed to eat all those fruits and vegetables?

Government recommendations say that adults should consume at least two to four servings of fruits a day and three to five servings of vegetables. Yet less than a third of us consume even those lower limits. How exactly are you supposed to get all that produce into your life? Here are some of our favorites. (And why don’t you tell us some of yours?)

Breakfast: Get off to a good start.

1. Start with juice. Just 6 ounces of 100-percent juice (not fruit “drink”) counts as a serving.

2. Add some sliced banana, berries, prunes, raisins, or other fruit to your cereal—hot or cold. It takes only a quarter cup of dried fruit, a half cup of berries, or one medium piece of fruit like a banana to make a full serving.

3. Mix berries or sliced apples or bananas into pancake or waffle batter and then top with extra fruit.

4. Create a vegetable omelette—perhaps a Spanish omelette with onions, peppers, and tomatoes, or any other combination that appeals to you. Half a cup of chopped vegetables like onions and peppers equals a serving.

5. If you breakfast on bread or toast, try an open-faced sandwich of low-fat cottage cheese and fresh fruit (banana, melon, blueberries, or strawberries) or vegetables (onion, summer squash, or green or red peppers).

Lunch: How to build a better salad—or sandwich.

6. Build a salad on chicory, romaine, or spinach. One cup of a raw leafy vegetable makes one serving.

7. That salad becomes two servings with the addition of just half a cup of any combination of such ingredients as broccoli, carrots, celery, cucumber, mushrooms, peppers, or tomatoes.

8. Turn yogurt into a full serving of fruit by adding a half-cup of berries or a chopped piece of fruit.

9. If you make your soup thick with vegetables, every cup of soup could easily hold a half-cup serving.

10. Use vegetables like broccoli, celery, and green and red peppers to add texture and color to pasta and rice salads.

11. Add tomatoes, shredded carrots, or bean sprouts to sandwiches.

Dinner: The main dish—and beyond. 

12. Complement poultry and pork with generous helpings of tart fruits such as cranberries, green apples, oranges, or raspberries.

13. A half-cup of tomato sauce counts as a serving of cooked vegetable.

14. Fortify stews, casseroles, and dishes like lasagna with extra vegetables.

15. Thicken soups or gravies with finely chopped or pureed carrots.

Appetizers: Add a first course.

16. Have a slice of melon, a half grapefruit, or—if you can spare the preparation time—a half cup of fruit salad as a prelude to any meal.

17. Try a cold fruit soup (especially nice in summer).

18. Prepare special vegetable appetizers, such as fricasseed wild mushrooms or eggplant with herbed ricotta.

Dessert: Finish with fruit

19. Prepare fruit desserts such as poached pears and baked apples.

20. If you treat yourself to ice cream or cake, top it with berries or sliced apples, bananas, peaches, or plums.

21. Skip the preparation altogether and just have a piece of fresh fruit.

Snacks: Satisfy the urge to munch.

22. Snack on grapes, strawberries, melon balls, sliced kiwi, and other bite-sized pieces of fruit.

23. Don’t stop at carrot and celery sticks. Raw broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, summer squash, and red and green peppers all offer flavor and texture. You can use them to replace chips for dipping—and use vegetable salsa for the dip.

Eating on the run

If you frequently skip meals or eat on the run, squeezing more servings of fruits and vegetables into your diet will require a little extra planning.

24. Stock up on dried fruits and frozen fruits and vegetables.

25. Keep a supply of carrot and celery sticks and other cut up vegetables stored in water in the refrigerator.

26. If you brown-bag it to work, bring raw vegetables as a side dish.

27. Instead of coffee, tea, or soda on beverage breaks, drink fruit or vegetable juices. Stock up on small boxes or cans that can travel easily.

28. Replace or at least supplement snacks with fruits. Apples and oranges travel well, as do boxes of raisins and bags of dried fruit.

29. If you have time only for a prepared microwave dinner, heat up some frozen vegetables along with it. You can add them to the dish if it’s a pasta or stew, or eat them on the side.

30. When you don’t have time to prepare a salad, assemble one at the supermarket salad bar.

Now it’s you’re turn. What are some of your favorite ways to fit in fruits and vegetables?

When Benjamin Franklin famously wrote “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” he could well have been talking about stroke prevention. Recovering from a stroke can be a long and complex process, with 15 percent to 30 percent of people left with some disability even after extensive treatment. In comparison, studies show that relatively small preventive steps—such as exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet low in saturated fat, and not smoking—can make a real difference in lowering your risk of having a stroke in the first place.

However, the prevention-cure equation gets a bit more complicated when considering a stroke-preventing surgery called carotid endarterectomy. It’s used to help people who are at higher risk of a stroke due to fatty deposits inside the arteries in their neck. A surgeon makes a cut in the patient’s neck, opens up the artery, clears out the fatty deposits, and stitches the artery closed again. Clearing the narrowed artery stops a blockage or blood clot from forming and causing a stroke.

But unlike simple preventive steps, such as changing your diet, a carotid endarterectomy has serious risks, as there’s a chance of dying or having a stroke soon after the surgery. So, do the benefits of this preventive surgery usually outweigh these risks?

To find out, a new study has looked at 3,120 people who had narrowed arteries but no symptoms. Half the people in the study had surgery right away, and the other half postponed surgery with the option of changing their mind later.

People who had the surgery right away had a lower risk of a stroke during the following 10 years. However, they were at risk of dying or having a stroke soon after their operation.

Not counting strokes or deaths that happened soon after surgery, 10.8 percent of surgery patients had a stroke in the next 10 years. This compared with 16.9 percent of people who avoided surgery or delayed it until later. About 26 percent of the people who didn’t have surgery immediately went on to have the operation at some point over the 10 years.

But surgery was risky, with 3 percent of patients dying or having a stroke in the 30 days after treatment. If we include the side effects of surgery in the figures, 13.4 percent of people who had surgery immediately had a stroke during the 10-year study, compared with 17.9 percent of people who went without surgery or delayed it. So, surgery still offered an overall benefit, although this was tempered by the risks.

And, for some people, these risks may not be worth taking. For example, an older person will have a higher chance of dying from other causes in the years after surgery. This means that they will face all the short-term risks of surgery but perhaps not live long enough to get the benefits. The people most likely to benefit from surgery are under age 75 and in good health apart from a narrowed neck artery, the researchers say.

What you need to know. Surgery to clear clogged arteries in the neck can prevent a stroke, but this benefit must be balanced against the short-term risks, which include a stroke or death.

If you think you might be at risk of a stroke, talk to your doctor. There are many treatments that can help, from lifestyle changes to medications. If surgery is an option, make sure you get a clear understanding from your surgeon about whether the benefits outweigh the risks for you. Ben Franklin would no doubt approve of such prudent steps (although, incidentally, his “ounce of prevention” adage actually related to fire safety!).

Out of the Hospital!

Adding senior citizen exercises to your care plan for your aging parents does not have to be difficult. Most senior citizen exercises are easy (they have to be) and some can actually be fun, both for them and for you.

If your aging parent is able to get out into the garden and enjoys it, just walking through it or taking a stroll down the street together is good exercise, and good for their entire body.

They should try to go for a walk daily if possible, or, if not, 4-5 times per week. In the garden itself, planting, weeding and similar tasks are good workouts for fingers and hands that do not have arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.

Swimming is another good option. It, too, exercises the entire body and is one of the best forms of exercise you can do.

For more focused exercise, buy an in-home, lightweight set of bowling pins and “ball”. The ball is made of a soft rubber, with holes that are big enough for your aging parents’ gnarly knuckles.

The pins are likewise lightweight, and made of a hard plastic or rubber. Set up the pins in a “V” pattern on a solid, hard surface, announce that the bowling league’s games are about to begin at [your last name’s] Lanes, and let ’em rip!

Fans of tamer games might get into bean bag tossing or “volley balloon”, in which a volleyball net is set up to hit the ball over and keep it up in the air (you on one side and they on the other), only, instead of using a volleyball, you’re using a balloon.

Just don’t blow up the balloon with helium or it will float to the ceiling and you’d never get it down. Then it becomes exercise only for you, of the ceiling-crawling variety, which, though fun for them to watch, really does Mom or Dad no good.

You can also raise and lower a mock parachute silk to work the arms and shoulders. This is best done in a group, with several hands gripping the parachute silk and then raising and lowering it all together.

Weight-lifting is also good for mind and body, as long as your aging parent doesn’t have problem weight-bearing joints like hips or knees, or a heart condition. Of course you should always clear any exercise program with your parent’s doctor before you have them begin one. Play a tape of wheelchair exercises. These work various parts of the body using simple movements. The exercises often involve raising and lowering the arms at the sides up to shoulder level, or in front, or overhead;

raising and lowering the feet in a “scissors”-type motion while sitting;

raising both arms overhead and bending at the waist to the left and then to the right;

rolling one’s head clockwise, then counter-clockwise;

raising and lowering shoulders up to the ears in a deep shrug.

You just might discover that by adding senior citizen exercises to your aging parent’s care, you can work in some fun, work out some stiffness and stress, and work on strengthening your mind, body and bond, as never before. Time to get started, and get fit, today!

HERB GARDENING

Herbs have been around since time immemorial and served different kinds of purposes. They have been used to treat illness and flavour cooking; they were even believed to have magical powers. Do you want to have your own herb garden? Here are a few ideas on how to establish an herb garden.

Plan your garden.

Consider the herbs you want to plant. Think about their types. Would you like annuals, biennials or perennials?

How much space will they occupy in your garden? If you want, you can purchase a book that can give you the right information on what specific plants you are planning to grow.

List or draw your garden on paper first. Separate the annuals from the perennials so when the time comes that you have to pull out the annuals, you won’t be disturbing the perennials. Perennials can be planted on the edge of your garden so when it is time to till your garden they won’t be in danger of getting dug up.

Another thing to remember is that you have to plant the tall ones at the back and the shorter ones in front. Also, provide your plants with enough space to grow. Proper position shall help you in this area.

If you would rather keep herbs out of your garden (and some are quite invasive) you could have herb pots. These are large containers with three or more outlets for the herbs. Fill the pot up to the first outlet and plant it before continuing on with the filling and planting process. Usually, the herb that requires the most water is planted in the bottom hole, while the variety that requires the least, goes in the highest hole.

Some Design Ideas

You can consider having a square herb bed. You can have your square bed divided into four by two paths crossing at mid point measuring 3 feet. You can border it with stone or brick. A wooden ladder may also do the trick. You can lay it down on your garden and plant your herbs between its rungs. You can also choose to have a wagon wheel bed. Planting here is like planting with the wooden ladders. Plant your herbs in between the wagon wheel’s wedges.

Get Your Plants Growing

Of course, different plants have different needs, but many of them require alkaline soil. This is the reason why you have to determine the herbs you want to plant in the planning stage. This can more or less help you find out how you should care for your plants. If you germinate your herbs from seeds, remember to follow the directions on the packet for soil, watering and temperature.

Herbs are some of the easiest plants to grow. You just have to provide them with an effective drainage, sunlight, enough humidity or moisture and fertile soil. Even with just minimally meeting these requirements they will be bound produce a good harvest.

Weight Loss and Obesity have long been topics for every form of communication know to man. It is a multi-billion dollar industry and the side markets are astounding. Diet pills, exercise programs, pharmaceutical, legislation. And on and on! I found one person that actually treats the cause and not the symptoms.

A lady doctor from Arizona has blown the lid off the best-kept secret in weight  loss ever discovered — and this has the whole diet food and drug industries turned upside down and in nothing less than a torrential uproar, her name is Dr Suzanne Gudakunst.

There is nothing about her “secret” that is difficult and it does not require that you do anything out of the ordinary or anything unnatural. Instead, the Doctor boasts proudly “…this is something that I caught onto just before 2002 when there was so much research and exploration going around concerning the human colon and digestive system working in harmony with nutritional absorption, and I started doing independent studies just to test things at first … but which I later expanded on after seeing some fantastic results.”

Her research accurately determine a definitive correlation between harmful plaque and parasitic infestation of the bowl tract and people suffering from chronic obesity, patients 100 lbs to 200 lbs or more overweight, and who despite intense diet and exercise appeared to be unable to lose any weight whatsoever.

Over the course of six years the Arizona doctor developed a number of natural treatments for the removal of these same harmful, even life-threatening plaques and rapidly reproducing digestive parasites — and when applied to even worse-case patients suffering extreme obesity (98% of which were in immediate danger of dying) she saw a 100% effectiveness and success rate.

She then took those results and applied them to cases of less obese and somewhat overweight patients only to find the same effectiveness and quality results. So powerful is her secret that she’s able to reverse diabetes, rid illness altogether in people suffering from cancer (linked directly to poor diet and overweight factors), as well as an elimination of an entire spectrum of serious and otherwise life-threatening diseases

Nearly 100% of all her case subjects were told in the alternative by “conventional doctors” that they either had just months or years to live, or they would never live a life anything resembling remotely a “normal” existence — yet after applying Dr Suzanne’s treatments saw a complete contradiction to others doctors’ prognoses.

Again, nothing about her secret is unnatural or requires someone to do any major action or modification in their lives.

In fact, her entire treatment is based completely on built-into-nature ‘protection agents’ scattered throughout the world in the form of select herbs, extracts, and organic constituents, and which can be found in a variety of plants — but when combined in specific combinations and carefully chosen amounts make for a solution to what is perhaps the world’s worst ever plague: OBESITY (and the illnesses and diseases resulting from it — or at least severely aggravated or exacerbated by it).

Now to everyone else’s great gain, whether suffering from just a few extra pounds and inches, to those extremely fat and overweight, this brave, bold lady doctor is releasing to the general public her secret for forever destroying the tight unrelenting closed-fist of obesity’s stronghold over the now more than 40% of Americans labeled obese, and others worldwide.

But she’s not promising any of us for how long.

Some experts and sociologists suggest that in the bigger scheme of things, the world will never tolerate a discovery of such magnitude, any more than it would be realistic to expect a car that runs on water (even if very real) to ever become commercially available to the general public for day-to-day use.

One well-respected and famous diet & wellness author wrote years ago that if anyone ever “truly unlocked the keys to permanent fat loss, they may actually suffer the same fate as JFK.”

It is currently available at:

Top Secret Fat Lose Secret

…so you may want to head on over there now and get it and before someone or “something” gets it forever yanked out of ever getting in YOUR hand at least.

It’s in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level.

While I was researching this I saw some incredible success story of people whose lives were changed. While you’re there, why not scroll down and see for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in rapid, massive weight loss and extremely improved and enhanced health, now made freely available to the rest of us?
