As we age, understanding the right medications, supplements and assistive devices available can help us maintain our health.
Regular exercise and a nutritious diet are crucial for remaining healthy in our twilight years. Both fiber and calcium (particularly for women) beocme more important and should be supplemented if your diet is lacking in them.
Chronic medical conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease, liver problems, arthritis or osteoporosis may become a reality and require treatment.
Always ensure medications are clearly labelled and regularly go through your cabinet to discard expired bottles. Be sure that both your doctor and pharmacist know of all the medications and supplements you are taking so they may inform you of any potential drug interactions.
Remember, an active and healthy lifestyle is still the best way to ensure good health with age.
