Seniors: Walk Your Way to Health
From our Care Blog

It’s important to get moving and stay moving no matter how old you are. However, did you know that to burn off one plain M&M candy, a person would need to walk the entire length of a football field?

Want To Feel Older Instead of Younger?
From our Care Blog
Without a doubt, our society is obsessed with being younger. More than $114 billion will be spent on anti-aging products by 2015. We’re always after the “fountain of youth”, a way to turn back the clock and eradicate the wrinkles on our face and maintain our youthful vigor. I remember when I was young and my Mom was 50.

Wonder why our aging parents are always...

Are You A Heart Attack Waiting to Happen?
From our Care Blog
Too often we ignore the warning signs of a heart attack, thinking it might be indigestion or the strain of a muscle. That’s why heart attacks are nicknamed “the silent killer”, because rarely do they just happen suddenly. Usually there are a number of warning signs that should never be ignored. More than a million Americans have a heart attack every year, and chronic heart disease is the leading killer of both men and women in the United States. A heart attack, or a myocardial infarction (MI) causes permanent damage to the heart muscle. Oxygen rich blood stops flowing to...
