Book excerpt: FACTS AND FUNCTIONS The human body is everything that makes us what we are, including specific genetic information that decides and regulates our body's physical form and function. However, external environments and behaviors can alter how our bodies look and how well they function. Although health focuses more on diseases, genetics, illness, and optimistically, the lack of health problems, wellness focuses on all areas of your life to seek balance continuously. Wellness addresses each aspect of life so you can consistently achieve improved health and well-being. You may also have physical health without enjoying physical wellness. Just because you are not suffering from a significant issue like heart disease or running to the doctor for aches and pains does not mean your body is fit and nourished. Learn how to have both Health and Wellness through the contents herein.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As life expectancy increases, older workers and the retired form a large and growing proportion of the world’s population. Professionals working to develop systems and environments need to better accommodate the user needs of the older adult. This new guide provides a practical introduction to human factors and the older adult.

The text draws on research-oriented work and presents this in a form that can be used by the broad audience of product designers, health care practitioners, managers, and others who need answers to problems and require sound recommendations for design.

Download or read book Making Healthy Choices for Senior Living written by Kenneth D. Barringer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-06-19 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful senior living doesn’t just happen by itself. Retirement needs a plan and key information to make these rich years happy and healthy ones. This book is intended to help retirees prepare for the aging process and to plan to make good decisions about each of the challenges to age well. Our senior life can be the “golden years,” but healthy living comes when we make responsible life choices. This book is intended to be a guide to make that happen in your life. It is filled with positive suggestions and clues to help you decide to live a wellness lifestyle in your retirement years. This book is built on the concept that we all need to be better decision-makers about the quality of our life as we age. It is based on the assumption as well that we do make self-destructive choices, which can harm our health (i.e., obesity). The message of the book is focused on our need to establish a pattern of making responsible life choices. The content of this resource is full of positive suggestions to accomplish that goal. It is a helpful guide for a successful retirement, but it needs to be read by all adults regardless of age so they are better prepared for living a healthy lifestyle in their golden years. The author also suggests that all of us could benefit enormously if we could gather in community throughout our country to discuss how we can make better choices on these important decisions for our future.
