Expert Author: Barbara Morris, R.Ph. | Category: Cancer The pharmaceutical industry doesn't want to find a natural cure for cancer because there is no profit in a cure. Big Pharma makes its money selling products that at best only manage symptoms that are not life threatening but on going. Anyone with high blood pressure is a financial bonanza for the drug companies. Those unfortunate individuals will take profitable "management medication" until they die. Got it? Management pays. Cures do not.
As wild and wooly as our society has become; as much as it is now the norm to do whatever you want to do, and tradition be damned, when it comes to dealing with age, we are still stuck in the dark ages.
Expert Author: Barbara Morris, R.Ph. | Category: Anti Aging Whatever age you are now is a good time to take better care of yourself. The younger you are when you start the easier it is. And it's truly helpful if you can find inspiring role models to look to for encouragement.
The benefits of choosing to live each day of your life in a state of youthful growth instead of stultifying retirement are just too outstanding to pass up. Be in that growing number of happy, healthy, productive older people who are reveling in their fulfilling second life.
Expert Author: Barbara Morris, R.Ph. | Category: Anti Aging At 40 or 50, you are NOT middle aged! Remember, in the past century the lifespan has increased by 27 years. Therefore, it no longer makes sense to categorize yourself according to a model that is no longer relevant.
Expert Author: Barbara Morris, R.Ph. | Category: Anti Aging Can't figure out where to start to improve the quality of your lifestyle? Here are some simple things to help get started. If you can follow the suggestions for a month, you will be well on your way to reducing belly fat AND establishing an anti-aging lifestyle.
Be fearless. Know when it is appropriate to provide personal information, and when you know it's not necessary, don't cave in. And above all, never reveal your chronological age. If you are pressed to do so, tell your perceived age.
Whatever age you are, think and plan for the future. It's closer than you think. You may be comfortable with your current intimate circle of friends, but the more contacts you have, and the greater the variety of people you know will be a security blanket to help you cope with loneliness when the unexpected shatters your life..
The traditional American way of aging is a crock. You can buy into or opt out of it as you choose. Decide to make the right choice now while you still have time.
True preventive health care is nonexistent for most Americans. That's because traditional medicine focuses on treatment of symptoms, and that's not prevention. Our health care system operates like the old barn door - it's left open and then the farmer tries to figure out why the horses ran off.
Whatever happened to neat, clean-shaven men in power suits and ties, who knew they were men, who would rather be dead than be seen wearing feminizing earrings, and necklaces and smelling better than you do. Is that asking too much?
If your doctor won't order a CBC/Chemistry Profile, or tries to make you feel like a pest for asking for one, then ask another doctor or get it done on your own. It will cost you, but it will be money well spent.
It's not news that the "golden years" of many older people, especially women, are years hijacked by young family members in need of care. It's not just boomers caring for aging parents; it's aging parents caring for children of their boomer aged children who for whatever reason do not care for their own children.
Expert Author: Barbara Morris, R.Ph. | Category: Beauty When you have white hair, you are perceived as o-l-d. No matter what your face and or body look like, white hair categorizes you in an instant. It tells the world who and what you are, even if you are prematurely gray or white. You are an old person. There is no getting around it.
Expert Author: Barbara Morris, R.Ph. | Category: Anti Aging The so-called civilized world we live in makes it difficult to maintain youthful attributes and stay healthy. Fast food, pollution, low and non-nutrition processed edibles eaten as food, stress, medications, lack of adequate information and our own negligence contribute to health problems and signs of premature aging. To get around it, you can do one of two things: just let it happen or be on the offensive with compensating measures.
You don't have to become part of a wasted senior generation. You don't have to waste your brain power. They key is to preplan, at least by midlife, to know what you want to do with the rest of your life after you retire.
It's clear that "aging gracefully" means different things to different people. To me, aging gracefully means letting go, just letting life happen. It's giving up goals, dreams, productivity, and challenge. It's placidly waiting for death. You get to a place where, as Rhett Butler would say, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

Expert Author: Barbara Morris, R.Ph. | Category: Anti Aging The mental and physical decline that accompanies the aging process - is it inevitable? Or is it a result of cultural influences and how we live? Like perfectly programmed robots we march into old age, fully accepting consensus thinking, archaic tradition, and contemporary cultural norms. It's not necessarily bad - it's the uncritical acceptance of "this is the way it should be" that seals our fate into premature decline.
Expert Author: Barbara Morris, R.Ph. | Category: Anti Aging The advertising industry continues to depect stereotypical seniors to the exclusion of the new and vibrant seniors who are staying as young as they were 25 years earlier.
