Preventive Strategies For Healthy Aging-Who Lives the Longest and Why Who lives the longest? Do your genes really doom you? Is your diet that important? Can you have happy, healthy later years, or do you really have to be sick? Dan Buettner of Blue Zone, along with the National Geographic, found five areas of the world where people live the longest and healthiest. He studied what they do, what they eat, etc. He found each area has at least one distinct diet that helps people stay healthier longer. Is there such a pocket of such people in the U.S.? Yes, in Loma Linda California. They are Seventh Day Adventists and they base their diet on Gen 1:29. Here’s the passage. Then God said,” I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” (NIV version) Interesting…. the eating of meat had not been introduced yet. The plant based died was the original diet.

Fire Safety: Winter Fires Can Be Deadly for the Elderly

Posted on December 11th, 2009 admin No comments

Fire Safety is very important during the winter months when fires seem to be even more deadly for the elderly.

Last night a senior citizen was killed in a fire in Chicago that ended up involving one third of all firefighters in the city. The lady had been trying to get out of her burning apartment.

In Nashville, about the same time, a street person was killed after falling into a campfire.

As we experience colder nights, we need to keep our aging parents in mind and make sure everyone knows exactly what to do in case a fire breaks out.

Are your parents too feeble to get out on their own?

Do you have an escape plan for yourself and your parents? Will you be able to find your way out of the house in case you can’t see because of smoke? Do you know to stay near the floor?
