Diverse Elders: Advocates for programs and government policies that improve aging in our
communities. Their blog includes timely information related to health and wellness for
seniors from a wide range of backgrounds across the country and the world.
Senior Planet: Led by Dr. Thomas Kamber, this organization promotes “aging with attitude,”
and their blog focuses on sharing information, courses, programs, and activities that help
seniors discover new skills, make new connections, and live a better life.
The Senior Nomads: Is ran by a retired couple who decided to simplify their lives by selling
most of their possessions – freeing them to travel all over the world. They have visited
more than 300 cities in 85 countries, and share photos, tips, and more as they have found
that new experiences and new connections positively impacts both mental and physical
health!
The Upside to Aging: Focuses on wellness issues and features interviews, personal stories,
healthy aging tips, and links to resources. It is curated by a caregiver who works with older
adults living with dementia.
The National Council on Aging: Is a respected organization whose goal is to improve the
lives of 40 million older adults by 2030. This blog covers not only current senior wellness
topics, but also provides financial tips and resources.

February is National Heart Month 1. Oatmeal does many things for our heart: first of all, it's high in fiber - therefore reducing cholesterol from the body. Another benefit is that it gives you energy. Try to eat whole grain oatmeal (steel cut) and avoid brands that include sugar or additives. 2. Soy is one of the healthiest foods for the heart because it contains low levels of fat and cholesterol. 3. Dark chocolate with its bitter, sumptuous flavor may be healthy for heart health. This is due to chocolate's high content of antioxidants, as well as the copious amounts of healthy components that help to balance things in the body. 4. Green Tea Just one cup per day of green tea per day can considerably re- duce your risk of heart complications, including stroke and cardiovascular dis- ease. 5. Avocados are well-known to be amongst the healthiest fruits, due to their relatively high content of healthy fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. 7. Tomatoes: One of the best vegetables for heart health is tomatoes, which are abundant in many beneficial minerals and nutrients. 8. Garlic supplements can be as effective as some prescription medications at lowering blood pressure in people who have high blood pressure. 9. Legumes are often considered an ideal source of nutrients due to their low content of saturated fats. These beans, lentils and pease are a fantastic source of protein that can help lower the incidence of heart disease as well as blood sugar. Legumes are also rich in fiber, keeping the stomach clear of diseases and promoting optimal digestion of nutrients, which also benefits the heart.
