But did you know that taking more than five medications at once can do more harm than good? Interactions, side effects, and new illnesses\u2014and the downward spiral begins.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    To do:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    • Ask your doctor questions: Is this still necessary? Are there alternatives?<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Ask\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>your pharmacist<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0to check for interactions with other medications.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>A simple check can save you a lot of trouble.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        So-called light muesli, \u201csugar-free\u201d cookies, diet drinks\u2026 Behind these marketing promises there are often hidden\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>additives and sweeteners that\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>gradually deplete<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0the body\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Use the 5-5-5 rule:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • There cannot be more than 5 ingredients<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0on the label\u00a0 .<\/span><\/li>\n
        • 5 glasses of water<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0before 5:00 p.m.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Eat 5 different colored fruits and vegetables<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0every day\u00a0<\/span>

            Are you sitting here in fear of falling? False friend!<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            One fall and everything changes: we feel fragile, less confident in our movements\u2026 Yet it\u2019s inactivity that increases the risk of falls. The body needs movement to maintain strength and balance.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Simple ideas:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Stand on one leg when brushing your teeth.<\/span><\/li>\n
            • Take advantage of TV commercials and\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>do some exercises by getting up from a chair<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0.<\/span><\/li>\n
            • Stretch for a few minutes before bed. A little during the day\u00a0<\/span>will gradually return<\/strong><\/span>

                Isolation After 60? An Often Underestimated Risk<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Losing a spouse, retiring, moving\u2026 and gradually, we leave the house less and less. But isolation is like\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0smoking\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>several cigarettes a day. Yes, you read that right.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

                How to stay in touch:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Plan one conversation a day, even if it is short.<\/span><\/li>\n
                • Join a club, organization, or activity that you enjoy.<\/span><\/li>\n
                • Try video chatting with your grandchildren\u2014\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>laughter guaranteed<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0.<\/span>

                    Forgetting is not inevitable<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    <\/p>\n

                    It\u2019s normal to lose your keys or an actress\u2019s name. But the belief that the brain shuts down with age is a mistake. Just stimulate it, like a muscle.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    What works:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • Memory games, Sudoku, crosswords\u2026 to learn alone or with a partner.<\/span><\/li>\n
                    • Learn a new recipe, language, or start keeping a notebook.<\/span><\/li>\n
                    • And of course: get moving. Exercise is\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>good<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0for your brain, too.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      A little addition that changes everything:<\/span><\/h2>\n

                      Keep a wellness journal. Write down what you eat, how you feel, what you do\u2026 It\u2019s a valuable tool for discovering what works for you and what\u2019s holding you back.<\/span><\/p>\n

                      What if truly living a long life meant finding balance every day, without stopping to listen to yourself?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
