It’s amazing the impact of exercise for 50-somethings! I believe baby-boomers can positively impact health-care-reform by taking responsibility for their health.

Comment on Seabury’s Community Outreach Services Continue to Grow by Joe P.

As a son of an elderly parent, I appreciate seeing services that can extend the time the elderly can stay in their own homes. Home health care offers the most comfortable environment for seniors and I see more and more companies offering these services. My Dad takes advantage of a local visiting nurse service and it is truly what keeps him going.

Comment on ICAA Launches its “Rebranding Aging” Campaign by Randy Eady

As a current ICAA Member and Tai Chi/Movement and Balance instructor at the ACTs Continuing Care Retirement Communities referenced in this timely USA Today Article:
http://yourlife.usatoday.com/fitness-food/exercise/story/2011/05/Seniors-exercise-right-to-a-better-more-youthful-life/46989046/1

I heartily concur with the statement made in the article by Marco Pahor, head of the aging institute at the University of Florida (and agree on the need for Champions to expand engagement possibilities/opportunities):

Pahor notes as a lead-in to the study U of F is doing with seven other universities called Lifestudy:

“There is an epidemic of sedentary lifestyle and obesity in this country,” he says, “and a second epidemic of an aging nation. Studies show the chance of someone 65 or older ending up in a nursing home is about 50%.”

Lifestudy is based on a pilot program that showed those who were guided by instructors on moderate physical-activity plans did better than those who got doctors’ advice alone.

It involves 1,600 participants in a study comparing a moderate-intensity physical-activity program with a healthy-aging education program to determine what might be effective in preventing frailty.

it’s great when whole communities come together for charitable events. also fitting that a church group would be the sponsor behind such a thing since they have the time and energy to put into something like this.

I’ve just been told by a long time friend of mine, Randy Eady, that he’s been chosen
as a champion.

I’m 51, just joined the AARP &, thanks to an article by Randy, in a recent issue of the IACC Journal, discovered their website, and interesting magazine.

Thanks for posting this interesting FAQ!

According to Dan Buettner, author of “Thrive–Finding Happiness the Blue Zones Way”, attending a monthly meeting creates happiness because it improves the social dimension of wellness. People who socialize more tend to be happier than those who isolate themselves.

I heard a statistic that being required to attend a monthly club meeting will create happiness. What makes this true?
