Expiry Date Check

Zoomer Report ·

2019/11/04

Have you checked the expiry dates on your medications and other products lately? Most people do it infrequently, but its a good idea to clean out your medicine cabinet twice a year. After the expiry date, medications start to lose their effectiveness, and so do products like sunscreen so if you keep taking them you may not be getting the treatment or the protection you need.

A study from Johns Hopkins University finds that more than two thirds of the genetic mutations that cause cancer occur at random – the result of chance mistakes in DNA replication that occur when normal cells divide. The idea was to quantify those DNA-copying errors – as opposed to inherited genes and environmental factors like smoking and obesity. The scientists 32

If you have arthritis, you’re in good company. More than 4 and a half million Canadians are affected. Now a study finds that just a little physical activity seems to go a long way. If you’re a Zoomer with arthritis-related joint pain and stiffness you need to keep moving to remain functionally independent. I have arthritis in my knees and I swear by the healing power of exercise. But the study out of Northwestern university in the US found that only 10 percent of older Americans with this condition

How to Become a Super Ager

Zoomer Report ·

2019/11/04

Most of us probably know at least a few of those uber-Zoomers. Older people you can describe as “sharp as a tack” at the age of 80, 90 and beyond. Well, now researchers have found they have certain brain characteristics that differ from their peers who show more typical age-related memory loss. Scientists from Northwestern University’s Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s Disease Center identified 12 people aged 80 and older who did as well or better on memory tests as people who were 20 to 30

We know that good nutrition has a role in staving off mental decline. Now it seems theres an even easier way to boost your short term memory: drink more water. Or at least make sure youre drinking enough. This, according to a new study from Britain, which tested how volunteers reacted to 30 degree temparatures for four hours. Half were allowed to drink 300 millilitres of water and half were not. Those who did not drink water found the tests more difficult to perform than those who hydrated during

There is more evidence on the benefits of exercise, especially as we age! A study published in the Annals of internal medicine finds that Zoomers who regularly exercise are less likely to suffer a disability — and if they do, they tend to recover faster. Researchers recruited more than 1,600 sedentary adults ages 70 to 89. They randomly assigned half of them to an exercise program, while the other half attended health education classes. People in the exercise group did some strength and balance
