An extraordinary look at what it means to grow old and a heartening guide to well-being, Happiness Is a Choice You Make weaves together the stories and wisdom of six New Yorkers who number among the “oldest old”— those eighty-five and up. In 2015, when the award-winning journalist John Leland set out on behalf of The New York Times to meet members of America’s fastest-growing age group, he anticipated learning of challenges, of loneliness, and of the deterioration of body, mind, and quality of life. But the elders he met took him in an entirely different direction. Despite disparate backgrounds and circumstances, they each lived with a surprising lightness and contentment. The reality Leland encountered upended contemporary notions of aging, revealing the late stages of life as unexpectedly rich and the elderly as incomparably wise. Happiness Is a Choice You Make is an enduring collection of lessons that emphasizes, above all, the extraordinary influence we wield over the quality of our lives.

Download or read book Strength Training For Seniors An Easy Complete Step By Step Guide For YOU written by Jason Scotts and published by Speedy Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2013-05-17 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: b Strength trainingb and b seniorsb does not sound like a probable match, but in fact it is a match made in heaven. The mere thought of people who are past their physical prime pumping iron might seem vain or ludicrous, but millions of seniors are discovering the manifold benefits of strength training, and the medical community continues to produce studies showing that those who dare to incorporate strength training in their weekly routines gain all sorts of physical and emotional benefits. Unfortunately, many seniors discover the wonders of strength training while doing rehabilitation after a surgery or a fall. You donb t have to wait until you experience a health crisis to begin doing strength training. In fact, starting a regular strength training program could prevent many of the crises that force seniors to do workouts with weights. As more and more people live to older ages, more and more practices formerly thought of as being just for young people are creeping into older age categories as well. Seniors sky dive, seniors ski, seniors dance and seniors even get married and go on honeymoons. Thereb s no reason why you as a senior cannot take up a strength training regimen, and it might not take as long as you think. As more seniors begin to do strength training, they are finding that they feel better, look better and, in many cases, they are living longer as they get stronger and fitter. If the thought of any kind of exercise makes you feel a little ill, take heart. You can design your own program with the types of exercises that you enjoy and tone the parts of your body that you care about most.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are a senior that wants to learn how you can remain as active as possible in your golden years without injuring yourself you ought to read a copy of "Healthy Happy & Fit." Of course it is not a replacement for sound medical advice but it does highlight things that other seniors participate in or do to remain as healthy as possible. No matter what age you are, it is important to do some form of exercise and to eat properly as a sedentary lifestyle filled with the consumption of unhealthy foods is not good for anyone at all. The text explains how seniors can do all that and more! Dwayne Whiting understands the challenges that many seniors go through as his parents and their siblings are in the golden stage of their life. One thing that he did notice which intrigued him was the fact that as long as they were feeling okay, they would go out and get some exercise done. It could be a walk or even a trip to the gym. He respected their zest for life and admired the fact that at their age they were still willing to get up and keep active. Dwayne always kept this in his mind and when he had the opportunity to, he started to compile information on how seniors can keep healthy and active. That led to his book.
