Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A grey tsunami is sweeping the land, wreaking social and financial havoc in its wake. Sound familiar? This myth about aging, along with twenty-eight others, is the focus of Getting Wise about Getting Old, which paints a far more accurate and nuanced portrait of old age. In it, experts debunk myths and persistent stereotypes about aging on a broad array of social issues – from retirement (seniors are low-performance workers) to housing (most older adults live in long-term care accommodation), and violence (senior women are not victims of sexual assault) to political participation (seniors are conservative and resistant to change) – deconstructing and countering them with the latest findings. The work of two leading research groups in Quebec, the short and accessible chapters of this vitally important book contribute to a better understanding of the social challenges, as well as the advantages, of an aging society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naomi Judd has been called "The Face of the Boomer Generation." At 78 million strong, boomers have become America's largest demographic. In Naomi's Guide to Aging Gratefully, she debunks society's harmful myths about aging and finds more meaningful ways we can define ourselves so we can enjoy (rather than dread) getting older. Freedom is the focus, and there's no better time than now to free yourself from untrue and outdated ideas about your own potential. Naomi is full of fresh ideas to help readers look at their futures in a whole new way. The aging process, as Naomi shows, is an opportunity for new experiences, original routines, and more contentment than ever before. Naomi offers tips on finding simplicity, streamlining possessions, disengaging from "energy vampires," and discovering the most effective ways to support your life force and boost your energy. Each chapter includes vital new health information and proactive lifestyle suggestions for your body, mind, and spirit. Naomi has a solution-oriented approach to everything from beauty tips to getting in sync hormonally with bioidentical HRT. She also offers wisdom on dealing with grief as well as enlightening ideas on how to recognize and enjoy your own uniqueness no matter how old you are. Packed with personal anecdotes, commentary from celebrity friends and data from renowned doctors, and plenty of Naomi's own special brand of lemonade-out-of-lemons wit and wisdom, Naomi's Guide to Aging Gratefully encourages readers to believe that it's never too early or too late to enter an important new chapter in their lives and embrace opportunities to become their happiest ever.

Book excerpt: "What affects our longevity? Weight control with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and social interaction in old age extends life span. No medication is shown to extend longevity, but statins in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metformin in metabolic syndrome may prolong life. Vitamins and antioxidants in pill form seem to increase the incidence of CVD and cancer as excess may stimulate cells. Our diet has adequate vitamin D and calcium; experts advocate against over treatment. Fish oil does not seem to prevent heart attacks and strokes. Indiscriminate cancer screening is harmful and leads to over diagnosis and over treatment. Immunotherapy against cancer is a major advancement. Growth hormone, testosterone, and estrogen replacement in the elderly shows minimal benefit, but has the potential for significant side effects including CVD and cancers. The author has 40 years as a Geriatrician, Internist and Endocrinologist, plus teaching and medical research. Proceeds go to the American Red Cross."--Back cover

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Age is an important number, but it can also be deceiving. After 40, most people say they feel younger than their years, some lie about their age, and many attempt to hide the signs of growing old. Better with Age addresses the many myths and paradoxes about the aging process. Although most people think of their later years in terms of decline, they can be one of the best times in life. This book presents the latest scientific research about the psychology of aging, coupled with insights from those who have succeeded in doing it well, such as Maya Angelou, Bob Newhart, Jared Diamond, John Glenn, and John Wooden. We are all aging, and many people are concerned about what to expect with advancing years. Retirement, happiness, and brain health are some of the many topics covered in this book. Better with Age shows what we can do now, at any stage in life, to make sure we enjoy old age.

Its focus on well care rather than just sick care by understanding physical fitness, sexual fitness, consumer fitness, nutritional fitness and social fitness among others, all point to aging as an asset leading to civic fitness and the potential for intergenerational support. This text may help springboard Gerontology into the 21st Century as the field creating excitement and hope for students and teachers alike." Cullen T. Hayashida, Ph.D. Director, Kupuna (Elder) Education Center Kapi'olani Community College University of Hawaii This research-based yet highly engaging textbook for undergraduate and masters-level college students ushers in a new paradigm of aging-that of aging as a positive stage of life.

Download or read book My Parents Never Had Sex written by Doris B. Hammond and published by Golden Age Books. This book was released on 1987 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Parents Never Had Sex presents the myths and facts of sexual aging in a thoughtful and straightforward manner that celebrates the sexuality of our elders. Dr. Hammond rejects not only the misconception that sexuality is neutralized with age, but also the related view (held by many elders) that sexual expression should be curtailed as one advances in years. She encourages both young and old to appreciate and take pride in their individual sexual being, and that of others, from birth to death. Cultural, religious, and societal influences affecting our views of human sexuality are described and discussed. Diverse forms of sexual expression are explored, with attention given to changes at mid-life and to health-related concerns. Helpful suggestions for family members and counselors are also offered. Specific situations encountered by families, couples, single persons, homosexuals, and nursing home residents are covered.

Book excerpt: This book provides medical information for older adults and their caregivers. People are living longer. According to the National Institute on Aging, the average life expectancy in 1970 was 70.8 years; in 2000, it was 76.9 years. By 2030, it is estimated there may be 10 million people age 85 and older. Views on aging are also changing. Aging no longer necessarily means physical decline and illness. In the last two decades, the rate of disability among older people has declined dramatically. There are many myths and much misinformation about aging. Written by a geriatric specialist, this book educates readers about the specialty of geriatric medicine, helping them understand what true geriatric care is and what it can do for older adults. The book opens with a comparison of scientifically sound geriatric medicine as compared to its arch rival, the "anti-aging business." It goes on to discuss the most important medical issues an older adult will face, explaining them in layman's terms and through the use of case examples. Full of advice, humor, and suggestions pertaining to each issue discussed, this volume will help older adults and their children and caregivers better navigate the increasingly complex medical options older adults now face.
