 Baby Boomer-supreme Jane Fonda started it all with her slinky leotard
and goofy leg warmers. The one-time workout fad soon became a way of
life for a generation
that plans on living longer and better. Aging has its disadvantages,
however, including the inability to perform high-impact aerobics or
scale mountains in
several bounds. And so was born an entire industry designed to keep Baby Boomers in
shape without eliminating precious cartilage or boring us stiff. As
added advantages, exercise
also reduces our arthritic pain, depression and anxiety. |

I
suffered a nervous breakdown at age thirty-six—and it turned out to be a
breakthrough. Here are fifteen important things about life and
happiness that I have learned, and that I hope Americans will take to
heart in the coming year.
I want you to do me a favor. Look to the upcoming year and ask yourself—realistically—what lies in store in 2012?
If you’re like most people, a huge portion of your life will be spent
anxiously plugging away at a job you may or may not enjoy with coworkers
you may or may not like. |

Breast cancer is a
non-communicable disease, which has tripled in the South Asian American
community in the last 10 years.
Asian women have traditionally had low breast cancer rates. However, their
rates are rapidly rising. Researchers suspect that these rates have risen
as immigrant women have adopted elements of a Western lifestyle. In India only
one in 40 women get breast cancer, but in United States one out of every eight
Asian Indian women will get the disease, the highest incidence in the world. |

fitness exercises as a practical and achievable way of slowing the effects of
aging on the brain. As part of Assisted Living Locators Atlanta’scontinuing
education program, a recent brain fitness lecture highlighted research
published in The Journal on Active Agingthat suggests that our brains begin to slow when we’re in our 30s and
accelerates after age 50. “We are learning that aging doesn’t
have to always be a one-way ticket to bad health for the body or the brain,”

For all the promise of joy, peace and harmony that comes
with the holiday season, the reality for millions of people is that the season
is anything but a celebration. For many, it’s a reminder of lost loved ones,
personal disappointments and dreams left unfulfilled.But for life coach Teri Johnson, whose personal journey through an
imperfect life now inspires others to reach for the lives they’ve always wanted,
the negative “nevers” of the disappointing hand life may have dealt you is where
the healing starts. |

If
you have a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia, your instinct might
be to cling to beloved traditions this holiday season. But you—and your
loved
one—might experience the most holiday joy by adapting your plans and expectations.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association,
one in eight people over the age of 65 suffered from Alzheimer’s
disease in 2011, with that statistic rising to almost half of
individuals over age 85 (that’s 5.4 million Americans overall). |
