We often wish we could turn back the hand of time. But when it comes to living a long, satisfying life, it’s simple — the things you do today affect your tomorrows.
Healthy aging starts with a mindset
If 50 is the new 40, then 60 is the new 50, right? Patients who have higher levels of baseline stress are more prone to diabetes, cancer, heart disease and obesity. Get an annual physical: Get a yearly checkup and other preventative screenings including pap smears, colonoscopies, mammograms, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. Preventative screenings save lives by catching cancer and chronic illnesses early. Get some sleep: Embrace routine, especially when it comes to sleep. Aim for seven to eight hours of regular, uninterrupted sleep. Follow a regular schedule with going to bed, waking up and when you eat your meals. It also regulates hormones like insulin and cortisol, which helps prevent disease. Focus on better nutrition: Eat a hearthealthy diet, more fruits and vegetables, and lean protein. Avoid or limit starchy, fried and processed foods and too much red meat. Reduce salt and sugar, increase healthy fats such as fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids, and skip anything with GMOs. (Ingredients you can’t pronounce!) It’s definitely the time to kick bad habits like excessive drinking and smoking, too. Most important — maintain a healthy weight and keep moving: Make regular exercise a habit, or at least find ways to be more active. Several studies have found a profound link between a generally sedentary lifestyle, meaning hours upon hours of sitting, and increased incidence of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and total mortality.

You may be “over 50”, but you don’t have to be “over” having fun and living your best, healthy life! Actually, it’s even more important to get started on healthier habits and ditch the bad ones. Your early to mid-50s are when biochemical changes start to occur, leading to the onset of cancer and other chronic illness. Now is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf, assess your lifestyle and make your health a priority. It’s hard to change bad habits for healthier ones, much less sustain them. The key is to also switch your mindset: Look at it as a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix. Many changes cost nothing and require only common sense and some self-awareness. Smile more, stand when you can, sleep at least eight hours, take a daily walk, and pursue your passions! It’s never too late to reinvent yourself, take up a new activity, or pursue a new career. The key is to keep moving and find ways to incorporate exercise and healthier habits into your life. Healthy aging in midlife and even into your senior years isn’t rocket science. The body is a self-healing, self-regulating system and performs best when it’s on a regular schedule. The foundation for healthy aging begins with routine habits around nutrition, exercise, and prevention. Learn to manage stress: Manage stress through exercise and other activities like yoga and mindfulness or a creative outlet. Research shows that a life of stress is really hard on the body, especially chronic stress.

Better HEARing Means Better Overall WELLness COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY
HEAR EVERYTHING Some forms of hearing loss are subtle or only occur in certain situations; make sure you can hear all the sounds of your life.
Your hearing enables you to understand and communicate complex ideas, passing thoughts, and jokes every day.
We have our teeth and eyes checked regularly, but what about our ears? Everyone over the age of 55 should have their hearing checked as part of an overall wellness program.
REMAIN STEADY ON YOUR FEET Beyond hearing, our ears are a key contributor to our balance. When they are affected negatively incidents of falling increase.
Think about all you gain when you have your hearing checked.
BE (AND STAY) HAPPY! Those who participate in a hearing screening and improve hearing health increase their quality of life and decrease their risk of depression.
Towers Funeral Home Inc.
POSTPONE DEMENTIA Your ears can identify frequency, pitch, location, and many other details instantly. The better they work, the sharper your mind is likely to be.

motivated to keep going. Getting started is often half the battle. √ Break it up into smaller chunks. Research shows that 10 minutes of exercise has benefits, so incorporate activity throughout the day. Use a break at work to walk laps or climb stairs, do a set of squats, planks, and pushups during TV commercials, or try a 10-minute exercise video. √ Focus on how you feel. Do you have increased energy, strength, mood or sleep? The scale isn’t the only measure of success. √ Write it down. Keep a journal of your daily activity and food/drinks. Be mindful of what you eat, and realistic about how many calories you burn. Snacks, sodas, and desserts have hidden calories or are often overlooked. It can reveal patterns of overindulging, emotional eating or chronic fatigue and depression. √ Enjoy a rest day (or two). Don’t beat yourself up if you slack off for a day or a week. While consistency is important, adequate hydration, sleep and recovery time matter too. √ Celebrate small milestones. The scale may have stalled, but maybe you’ve lost inches, regulated blood sugar, can run a mile, or noticed new muscles. n

For a lot of us, it can be too overwhelming to make multiple lifestyle changes at once. Focus on one area of your life that you can improve. Exercise may be one of the easiest and best of these options. Think about this trifecta of benefits — heart health, combat weight gain, and boost endorphins. Focus on these practical tips to get moving and stay motivated for the long haul. √ Schedule time to exercise and switch it up. The key to long-term exercise is not only making it a priority but doing activities that are social and fun. Playing tennis or pickleball with a friend, walking the dog, biking a rail trail, swimming, gardening, dancing and playing team sports count toward the recommended 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week. √ Recruit a friend or join a class. You’re more likely to exercise when you have a partner or group counting on you, plus it’s the chance to make new friends and try something new. √ Sign up for a competition. Whether it’s a marathon or bike race, training for a competition ups the challenge and reward. √ Try the 10-minute motivation rule. Start with 10 minutes and see if you are

Can you hear me now?
Age and modern life can affect our hearing
By Marilyn Murray Willison .According to many experts, hearing loss — which is now being referred to as “America’s silent epidemic” — is more harmful to quality of life than many forms of cancer, diabetes, obesity or a stroke. For years, loss of hearing was considered to be a harbinger of old age, but the advent of loud rock music and ear-splitting live performances, and the overuse of ear buds have introduced audio deficiencies to an entirely younger generation. According to the World Health Organization, 1.1 billion teenagers and young adults are currently at risk for hearing loss, and the numbers are expected to rise with each passing decade. In fact, U.S. government data estimates that approximately 5.2 million children ages 6 to 19 have already suffered permanent damage to their ears’ inner hair cells due to repeated exposure to loud noises. Age is, however, an undeniable factor when it comes to hearing loss. About 30 percent of people in their 50s, close to 50 percent of those in their 60s and nearly 70 per-
cent of those in their 70s will notice a measurable decrease in their ability to hear correctly. And this unwelcome development is further complicated by the fact that the average older American postpones — for seven to 10 years — getting a hearing aid or device. Sadly, the longer people refuse to address their hearing loss, the greater the risk — to the brain! — of losing the ability to translate what someone says into usable speech. Currently, there are three theories regarding why we hear less as we grow older. One is the wear-and-tear assumption that with the passing years, our mechanisms for hearing correctly simply “age out.” Other scientists believe in the free radical theory, which asserts that a lifetime accumulation of free radicals can irrevocably damage our hearing mechanism. And yet others insist that a genetic predisposition explains why some people can hear well into their 90s, while others struggle as soon as they hit the half-century mark.
Amy Dagger
Towers Funeral Home Topic: Options Available to Families on Anticipation of Future Needs Towers Funeral Home is dedicated to serving area families with dignity and in the most professional and caring matter. Towers is committed to addressing the changing needs of the families it serves, while maintaining the highest standards of quality. Towers is known for outstanding personalized service, attention to detail, before and always after a funeral.
Since the ability of the brain to translate sound is so essential to hearing well, there are a few mental-gymnastics programs specifically designed to keep the brain supple enough to hear well as we age. The first is the Posit Science Brain Fitness Program, an online program comprised of six exercises that target auditory processing and memory. And the other is Lumosity, which only takes 10 minutes a day to help the brain’s neural pathways. n

The role of a Geriatric Care Manager A relationship with a professional geriatric care manager can allow the family of the elderly person to maintain their role as spouse or children, while someone else manages the immediate care needs situation. When a family is providing the hands-on care to their loved one, the quality time they have to be there emotionally for them is limited. The care manager can handle the difficult, immediate care needs of the client, interpersonal issues, and remain connected throughout the needs of patient and family. Sharon L. Cohen, RN, CWCN, CWS, CLNC, operates a geriatric care management service. For more information, call 516-317-9737 or email scohenRN@gmail.com. n

By Sharon L. Cohen, RN, CWCN, CWS, CLNC Feeling anxious and overwhelmed as a family caregiver? A geriatric care manager can help. Geriatric Care Management (aka Senior Care Management) involves providing advocacy, care options, assistance with getting legal documents completed (power of attorney and health care proxy/living will, trusts) and managing financial options for the senior aging population. It is important to understand the need and the role of a Geriatric Care Manager and work closely with that special someone you can trust, rely on, and share your concerns.

Make every bite count Eat your way to longevity
Eat right for life and make every bite count. Choose from the many superfoods that will help your body fight off the damage caused by aging. Just work them into your daily and weekly meal plans and you’ll be getting extra vitamins, antioxidants and other substances that will help your body fight age-related illnesses and be anti aging resources for you. It’s never too late to start.
you don’t want to go all the way to vegetarianism, then just start by substituting a few meals a week with bean-based entrees. Water Water is good for you. This seems pretty basic. There is some disagreement among medical experts about whether drinking tone of water is really a good idea, but while they sort that out stay focused on water. Your goal should be to make water your primary drink. This way, you’ll be drinking a no calorie, no chemical drink all day long instead of the many, many high-calorie, high chemical alternatives.
Avocados Sure, they’re high in fat, but avocados contain healthful monounsaturated fat, which has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. They’re loaded with fiber (11 to 17 grams per fruit) and are a good source of lutein, an antioxidant linked to eye and skin health.
Berries Berries are packed full of antioxidants and other chemicals that your body can use to make repairs and prevent some of the damage caused by aging. Best of all, berries taste really good. Be sure to eat your berries without any sauces or sugars. Just enjoy them plain for their goodness.
Walnuts We all know that we need to eat more omega-3s and that fish are a great source, but reports of possible mercury contamination of fish may scare some folks off. That’s where walnuts come in. It turns out that walnuts are a great (and mercury-free) source of omega-3 essential fatty acids. Eat a handful or two a day for all your omega-3 needs.
Eat right and you’ll sail through the decades feeling great
Green Vegetables Of course, most of us need to eat more vegetables — but here’s the thing, we all really need to do it. If everyone gets five or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day, we’d see a huge decrease in heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure and more. So find some way to eat one more veggie or fruit this week, then add another next week until you get to nine servings. Focus on leafy or deeply colored vegetables for the most benefit.
Beans Beans are a great source of healthy protein and antioxidants. Really, beans are a wonder food — high in protein as well as fiber, generally in a low-calorie package. Beans can replace meats as a protein source in many meals when the goal is to reduce caloric and fat intake. Beans can be used to thicken sauces or make foods more hearty, helping to stretch them further. Beans are a necessary part of any healthy vegetarian diet. If

Green tea Green tea has been a longevity supplement in Asia for thousands of years. It is a great thing to work into your daily life. Green tea contains high concentrations of just the chemicals your body needs. Green tea is also inexpensive, delicious and gives a mild (and gentle) energy boost from its caffeine. Melons When we think of fruit, we don’t always think of melons. Perhaps you should — melons have some of the best nutritional profiles of all the fruits. They are pulpy (so they fill you up) and contain lots of vitamins. Work melons into your daily/ weekly diet and you’ll be reaping health benefits as you enjoy them. n
