As we age, our muscles become tighter and our joints become stiffer. In order to slow that part of the natural aging process, it is a good idea to incorporate a stretching routine into our daily activities.You know the old saying - "use it or lose it". This is oh so very true too.10 minutes per day of stretching exercise is enough for most people in any age group.Athletes use stretches as a

High cholesterol levels can lead to heart disease and/or stroke. This isn't something any of us should mess around with, so keep an eye on it as you age.Most cities have occassions where professionals offer free cholesterol screening from time to time, either at the local hospital, a retail store, etc. You also get a free cholesterol check when you donate blood.

When we talk of processed foods we means foods that have been changed from their natural state. If it's not fresh and pure, it's processed.Not all processed foods are bad for you necessarily, though some people may question this. For example, milk is processed before it reaches the consumer. Is milk bad for your health? Some say yes, some say no. We see more and more people substituting soy

When both eating at home and dining out, pay attention to your meal portions. Keep your portions small.We all know that junk food isn't good for us, right? You may think that burger, fries and coke don't amount to much, but the calories you ingest are higher than you probably imagine. The fat content may just well scare you. And for goodness sake, definitely do not super-size such a meal!If

I think we can all pretty much agree that obesity is a large and growing problem among all age groups in America. Just take a look around, everywhere you go. It's astounding, isn't it?I recently attended a party of long-time friends, many of which I only see a few times each year. I observed that two thirds of my friends were grossly over weight. Two thirds! There were an awful lot of excess
