No Ice Bucket Need Here - Understanding ALS

Like many social media campaigns that go viral, you can’t seem to get away from the one to raise awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, referred to as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (#ALSIceBucketChallenge).

Just as there’s no known cure for the disease there also is no clear understanding of what causes the disease. Hopefully with this year’s windfall of donations, more progress can be made in finding a cure.

Ostomy Selfies

Exercising as You Age

There’s a holy trinity of overcoming not-so-great health, as well as attaining and keeping good health: eat well, get enough sleep, exercise regularly. Recent studies indicate that, regardless of when it’s started, physical activity facilitates healthy aging in older adults. 

Regardless of age when an individual begins exercising, the benefits will be seen immediately, with improved mood and energy levels, and later, with a potentially increased lifespan and better overall health and cognition. Combined with eating healthfully and getting enough sleep, this holy trinity is easily attainable by mere mortals.

Look to Set Healthy Goals for the New Year

Of all the resolutions we make to start the new year, more than half involve becoming healthier; and while much is made of how few people achieve their goals, what of those who get it right?

The answer lies not in the resolutions we make, but in how we go about realizing life changes that determines success.
