For some older adults, the medications developed to help relieve the pain and symptoms of arthritis can create side effects including kidney problems and stomach ulcers. There are, however, some natural remedies that might help.
Osteoporosis Isn’t Just a Woman’s Health Problem

Having a regular exercise routine can help older adults in a variety of ways, ranging from fall prevention to avoiding depression and relieving arthritis. The challenge that often presents itself is how to find safe forms of exercise that can accommodate the physical limitations aging often causes.
The Power of Protein in the Older Adult Diet
An older adult’s diet can have an impact on how much age-related muscle loss they experience. Poor choices can lead to a loss of strength that contributes to balance problems and falls. A healthy diet rich in fiber, fruits, vegetables and protein can help lessen the chances of those happening and/or delay a decline in muscle strength.
Tips to Avoid Winter Depression

Vacationing with Older Adults
Late spring and summer are times when families often embark on vacation together. For some families, this year’s travel plans may include an older loved one. These trips are a great way to build bonds among the generations and create memories that will last a lifetime, but traveling with a senior family member may require making a few accommodations.

As the number of people living with this disease climbs higher every day, it is important for family caregivers to know about hospice and when someone with Alzheimer’s might be eligible.
