Baby Boomers and Wellness

That means those of us approaching retirement may be retired for as many years as we worked! What to do with our bodies so that we may be able to live these "Golden" years to our fullest?

Many seniors are turning to wholistic and natural remedies. Our bodies are made up of mostly water, so the more healthy our "water", the more healthy we are.

Dedicated to not only extending life, but also improving the Quality of that extended life, "Baby Boomers and Wellness" is your portal to all things about living well long after retirement age.

At the beginning of the 20th century, life expectancy in the United States was around 45 years. In 2000, it was 77. The rate of increase is even higher now, and even the most cynical estimates is that it will be around 85 in the next 20 to 30 years. With 85 as an average, and millions of us turning 50 every day, this means that a whole lot of us will live way past 85.

Preparing for retirement is more than preparing for the financial aspects, though that is certainly related to the issue. We want to be healthy for as long as we can. Many of us will not have several children to bear the burden of taking care of us. Some of us will have limited extended family. Our Baby Boom generation is the biggest one group EVER!

We must learn to be as self-reliant as possible.

Taking care of our bodies, our minds, and our finances is no small task, but, as will all things about our generation, we are certainly up for the challenge!
