When was the last time your primary care physician recommended that you get a cognitive test as part of your annual physical? Even though this type of test is available as part of Medicare’s Annual Wellness Visit, 80 percent of us report not having had a cognitive test over the past year and more than half (59 percent) have never had one. This data is quite concerning given the importance of these tests for detecting any cognitive decline as early as possible so that we can take steps to treat it.

They say that “variety is the spice of life” since without it, we would probably find life to be a little dull and boring, to say the least. In my opinion, the same can be said of getting the nutrition we need from the foods we eat. Imagine if you had a diet that was indeed healthy but consisted of only one or two foods?

It is undisputed how important it is for our health that we ensure we are getting enough oxygen. In an earlier blog, I discussed the “Rule of Threes” which says that the average person can go three weeks without food, three days without water, and only three minutes without oxygen. Now there is evidence that it is not only important to get enough oxygen but it is also important to be aware of how we breathe to supply our bodies with this essential gas.

I am sure you have heard someone comment: “Let her be, at her age she can do whatever she wants!” We usually hear these comments when we spend more time watching television than exercising, or indulge in lifestyle choices that may not necessarily support our health. The rationale behind these comments is that after 60 and more years of life, it may be too late to develop new healthy habits.

Women’s unique hormonal and biological needs can spiral into depression when nutritionally depleted. Although you cannot consider depression as a normal state for anyone, at some point everyone deals with a bout of depression. Women, in particular, see an increased risk of that occasional funk developing into major clinical depression—at about twice the rate of men. It appears that biological or hormonal makeup may be partly to blame.
How to Protect Your Health During a Hospital Stay

Mar 22, 2023 | sixtyandme.com | Joy Stephenson-Laws

When you go to a hospital, you hope to leave in better health than when you arrived, but unfortunately, many of us end up getting sicker when we have a hospital stay.

I have been playing golf for almost half my life without any negative physical side effects. Recently, however, I started experiencing some pain in my left shoulder. Even though I am very proactive about my health, including joint health, as a boomer I really should not have been all that surprised.
