Good
Nutrition for a Healthy Lifestyle
By Ajax
 The
phrase ‘Health is Wealth’ gets more
significant with age. It’s what we preserve
the most, especially after retirement. Most
seniors would love to foresee a life of
health, fitness and relaxation. Some active
seniors would also want to travel and
explore places, and realize a lifetime’s
desire. A fit and healthy life is nothing
but a result of a wholesome lifestyle. It
stems from preventive care and making sure
your body gets all it needs to remain in the
pink of health. It really isn’t difficult to
find important nutritional guidelines to
follow. Internet for seniors is a ready made
ocean of information. That’s where you go
when you need reliable information or health
tips.

 Brain
Builders!: A Lifelong Guide to Sharper
Thinking, Better Memory, and an Age-Proof
Mind
By Richard Leviton
List Price: $17.95
Price: $12.21
Health writer Leviton believes that the
human brain is like a muscle: the more you
use it, the stronger it gets. And he
disagrees with the commonly held notion that
cognitive abilities must decrease with age.
To "age-proof your brain," Leviton
recommends a pragmatic seven-step program
that incorporates an understanding of your
brain's rhythms with an awareness of how
important diet, exercise, and music are to
the thought process. Numerous mental
calisthenics are presented to promote
"alertness, concentration, perceptual speed,
learning, memory, problem solving, and
creativity." The nature of intelligence and
how it is measured are also discussed at
length. Though designed with baby boomers in
mind, its positive, practical advice makes
it equally valuable for high-school or
college audiences. Brian McCombie

Exercise
For A Healthy Heart
By Peter Sams
 Look
for chances to be more active during the
day. Walk the mall before shopping, choose a
flight of stairs over an escalator, or take
10–15 minute walking breaks while watching
TV or sitting for some other activity.
Start slowly. Gradually build up to at least
30 minutes of activity, five or more times
per week (or whatever your doctor
recommends). If you don't have a full 30
minutes, try two 15-minute sessions or three
10-minute sessions to meet your goal.

Types
of Yoga
By George Brandt
 Do
you ever get so busy you can't even
think straight? Do you frequently suffer
from headaches and feel lethargic?
Instead of indulging in all the
"one-pill cures" on late night
television, why not take an hour of your
day to do yoga? Millions of Americans
are finding a sense of peace and
relaxation, while improving circulation,
muscle definition and flexibility.
Many beginners like to start with
Iyengar yoga, where positions are held
longer to provide maximum stretching and
minimal injury. Unlike "flow" yoga
styles, there are breaks between
positions and an emphasis on long, deep
stretches for people of all levels.
Props like mats, blankets, straps and
blocks help take some of the strain off
the body.

Ageing
But Not Getting Old
By C. Gray Flynn
 When I was a teenager in high school, my
home economics teacher made a comment
that never left me: "youth is wasted on
the young". As a young person, I thought
it an unkind comment and viewed my
teacher unsympathetically. Of course now
that I am a mature woman, I completely
understand what she was getting at. The
vitality and beauty of youth, that gets
traded off for experience, knowledge
and, dare I say, some wisdom in ones
growing years, is for many of us, if not
most, painful to relinquish.
