TIPS TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE
|
Prevent muscle shrinkage due to age or inactivity by eating beans. They are packed with protein, fiber and antioxidants. Beans help keep your muscles strong and your joints moving freely. Red beans, small red kidney beans and pinto beans rank among the top antioxidant foods.

A patch of blue peeking through
A dark and ugly sky –
The clouds are breaking white and fluffy
Rolling, rolling by
Relaxing on this summer day
Watching the struggling sun
Thinking we all must struggle
In order to get things done
I HEAR MUSIC December l974
Music is a friend of mine
Comfortable when I read or dine
It goes with quiet or rainy nights
It suits me when I dim the lights
The mood I’m in determines my choice
I may choose a fast number, or Frankie’s voice
I can work to a record by Burt Bacharach
Or be soothed by Glenn Miller, when flat on my back
When I wake in the morning
The first thing I hear
Are Edie and Steve
Singing right in my ear
You don’t have to be rich
To enjoy a good song
If I know all the words,
I can sing right along
To express myself fully
I love music, it’s fine
It gets better with age,
Just like good wine

SENIOR CITIZEN CHEERLEADING SQUAD
|
Meet the Sun City Poms, a squad of senior cheerleaders from Arizona. They do about 40 performances a year, and the average age of its members is over 70. But age is no excuse for not working hard. As one squad member admits, "The practices are quite grueling." But the benefits are clear. These ladies are fun and fit!

MODELING AGENCY THAT ONLY HIRES MODELS OVER 45
|
Source: thinkinghumanity.com
|
In a society that believes women have an expiration date, it has become too easy to overlook the beauty of those who are aging gracefully.
Therefore, while Hollywood is busy air-brushing, botoxing and face-lifting in a vain attempt to hold back the inevitable march of time, this Russian modeling agency has decided instead to embrace the beauty of aging in a series of stunning images.
Appropriately named Oldushka, this agency represents models from the age of 45 and above, up to 85 in some cases. While the fashion industry finally appears to be getting to grips with diversity in model sizes and ethnicity, age is the next barrier to be broken down.

HOW TO AVOID GRANDPARENT SCAMS
|
Scams among seniors are on the rise.
According to Fraud.org, the
most common grandparent scams
include someone calling or emailing the victim pretending to be a grandchild or someone representing a relative.
They ask for bail money or other expresses related to some type of distress they’re in, and they tell the senior that the situation must be kept secret. They might also call late at night so the senior might be less mentally alert.
This tactic has scammed grandparents across the United States out of hundreds or up to thousands of dollars, Fraud.org reports.

SLEEPING IN ON THE WEEKEND DOESN'T MAKE UP FOR LOST SLEEP DURING WEEK
|
Sleeping in on the weekend won’t erase the negative health effects of sleep deprivation during the week.
In fact, the rebound sleep could compound health problems associated with getting too little sleep night after night.
That’s according to a new study published today in Current Biology.
For decades, researchers have known sleep deprivation can lead to a variety of health issues, including weight gain and diabetes.
To make up for sleep loss, many people try to pay their “sleep debt” by sleeping in on the weekends.
It’s been unclear what that effect might have on the damage done by sleep loss, so a team of researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder created a lab scenario to study just that.
