Senior Health
Senior health issues are more important than ever, as people are living longer -- and healthier -- than ever before in the history of humankind. There are more of us too, as the population of seniors is expected to double by the year 2025. Ok, so statistically we're going to live longer.

Healthcare for Seniors: Offense vs. Defense I like to look at the different health & medical issues for elderly citizens as Offensive or Defensive. Just like sports or military conflicts, "Offensive" type is where we are being proactive -- like exercise, healthy eating, positive lifestyle during aging and so forth. "Defensive" is, of course, when we are defending against challenging issues like altzheimers, arthritis, bladder control problems, injury prevention, and even End of Life issues. Sounds good. Let move on to explore some of the topics of senior health.
Following are a list of Senior Health topics we can explore at The Eldery Elder Online Magazine. Please note that this is your magazine and you are encouraged to contribute articles or personal experiences related to health & lifestyle of older adults. Anything goes. So, here's a starter list. Email us with suggestions for other topics anytime.
