Diet is the key!

Prescription bone-building medications are expensive and have side effects, including, ironically, an increase in hip fractures and jaw necrosis. A new study by researchers at the University of Illinois suggests they should be used as a last resort if diet and supplements don’t work.

How long into old age should seniors exercise?
Go here to Huff Post to read the full article.When Are You Too Old To Exercise?
The Miami Herald had a front page article about recreational baseball players who ranged in age from 69 (the baby) to 93. The men, retired doctors, lawyers, teachers, businessman and public officials, meet twice weekly to play. They divide themselves into two teams since they can’t find another local team whose ages are similar to theirs. The 93-year-old was quoted as being insulted when asked if he needed a pinch runner and had, before the article was written, just hit his first home run. They played for the joy of it; aches and pains from aging joints forgotten or endured for the sake of the game.

Eating what you want as you age?
SOMETIMES I can’t believe what my 82-year-old mother has been eating. Living now in a retirement home in Durham, N.C., she told me she recently had cherry cobbler for breakfast. Apparently she’d had French toast stuffed with bananas and Nutella for lunch the day before, and after lunch had gone to dessert theater (“You know, like dinner theater, but with desserts”), where she’d gobbled down a lot of cookies. “So when they served cherry cobbler for dessert that night in the dining room, I thought, I better take this back to my room and eat it tomorrow. For breakfast.”
