Finding in home elderly assistance frequently helps the elderly continue living alone. A good case in point is my widowed sister who was living alone and becoming a bit unsteady on her feet.

Assisting seniors to slip proof their home is an important part of in-home care.

When all those age 65 and older are combined, falls account for 50 percent of all injury deaths.” Making the time to slip proof a home can prevent the heartache and injury a fall may bring to those caring for a parent. Not long ago I had to help slip proof my parents’ home after Dad fell and broke his ankle.

The Saints often tells the joy of life as the anti aging measures. Although I am not wise enough to guess his mind, the joy of life should be the nature of human beings.

We should not lose the joy of own life while taking the path through caring oneself with controlling one's desire.

You are only as young as your oldest part, so what’s aging you? Is it your bones? Do you exercise; are you weak in one area? It’s that weak part that will fracture with a fall. Perhaps you are losing your balance. The changes are so subtle that you hardly notice until you try to recover from a fall. It might be too late and you will fracture your weakest part. What about your brain? Are names more difficult to remember and do you have a harder time learning or paying attention?

The variants discussed are called Single Nucleotide Polymorphism variants or SNPs. SNPs are the simplest variation that a gene can have; only one letter in the code is changed in a place that changes the molecule produced from the gene.

The Truth written about “time” is that there is really no truth to anything that was written or said in the past or present about it. To make a statement that “time” doesn’t exist, except because of what we've said and thought about it, is not totally true. “Time” exists independent of us, as well as dependent on us. Time is funny and serious simultaneously. It is as real as it is illusory. It exists in both extremes and at times in between. Time doesn’t play tricks on us, we play tricks on ourselves. Time is as strong as it is weak.

The news media and even many doctors refer to 'Essential Fatty Acids' (EFAs) and lump Fish Oils in with the discussion in a way that confuses the use of the term. Strictly, the term applies to only two unsaturated fats (which are fatty acids because they are fats which are acidic); alpha-linolenic acid (LNA) – an omega-3 fat, and linoleic acid (LA) – an omega 6 fat. The term "essential" arises from the fact that the human body cannot make them from any other parent substance, and we must therefore get them from diet.

Aging brings a general stiffening of tissues, loss of bone mass and density, shrinkage of the brain, joint cartilage and some organs’ size, and a slowing of energy production in all body cells. Part of this is because our immune system, an army of immune cell types that defend us from invaders, turns on our own tissues and leads to self-inflicted damage. The resulting chronic, degenerative, inflammatory-based diseases produce pain, debilitation and early death; diseases such as atherosclerosis, arthritis, diabetes or a bevy of other ‘itises’, cancer or Alzheimer’s.

Food, what we eat daily, provides the basic materials that build and sustain our bodies. In our prime we can seemingly eat anything and digest it, absorb it, assimilate it and utilize it. But as we age, stomach acid and enzyme production decrease, digestion worsens, absorption and assimilation of nutrients becomes less effective. Mechanisms for getting nutrients into our cells, and waste products out, become less effective. The basic starting point for any anti-aging effort is to eat so as to obtain all necessary nutrients and enhance the mechanisms for digestion, absorption and assimilation.
