As Baby Boomers navigate the later stages of life, maintaining strong and healthy bones becomes increasingly important. Bone Health is crucial for overall mobility and quality of life, influencing everything from daily activities to long-term wellness. We need to protect our bone health by getting enough calcium and vitamin D, doing the right kinds of Exercise, avoid bone-damaging habits, and getting screened for osteoporosis. Our Experts in this area of the site explore all of these topics.
The best food sources for bone health include dairy like milk, yogurt and cheese, salmon, sardines, leafy greens, prunes, dried figs, almonds, white beans and tofu. The right exercises where bones can respond to Stress and load include brisk walking, stair climbing, dancing, and tennis or Pickleball. The best muscle-strengthening exercises to help bones include resistance bands, light weights and body-weight movements like squats and wall pushups. Other low-impact options which are safer for older adults include elliptical, gentle aerobics and treadmill walking. Baby Boomers are in the age window where bone loss accelerates because of hormonal changes, reduced nutrient absorption, decreased physical activity and higher medication use. Consistent habits can slow bone loss and may improve density.

Here is a dusty, but perhaps useful post from the archive for your information and entertainment.When Bob and I walk together around the neighborhood, meeting our minimum daily requirements for steps, we always compare notes on how we’re faring against the slow, inexorable advance of decrepitude. We each do our “organ recitals,” and then Bob asks the tough question: What’…
We talk about death as if it’s a medical event. Then we talk
about “moving on” as if grief is a suitcase we should unpack quickly and put

We talk about death as if it’s a medical event. Then we talk
about “moving on” as if grief is a suitcase we should unpack quickly and put
away.
But losing a partner after forty, fifty, or sixty years
together is not a problem to be fixed. It is a landscape to be learned.
One woman put it this way: “The loneliness isn’t
just about missing one person. It’s about finding yourself on the outside of a
world that assumed you’d always be paired up.”
That is the part no one prepares you for. The empty side of
the bed. The table set for two. The conversation that only the two of you…

Summer is basically one long invitation to eat. The patio dinners, the backyard grill, the first really good peaches, the freezer aisle calling your name on a hot afternoon. And if you have spent any time dieting, you probably meet at least some of it with a little flinch and a plan to be good.
Here is a kinder idea. You do not have to say no to summer. You just have to get a bit better at listening to your body, which knows a lot more than any food rule ever taught you. That, in one line, is what intuitive eating is really about.
New here, or just want a si…

This week singer-songwriter Patrice Peris joins Dave to flip the script on building a music career. That question musicians always get – what’s your backup plan? – is a terrible one, because Plan A was never required to land where you first mapped it. Through COVID, a cancer diagnosis, and a bone-marrow transplant she now calls a rebirth, Patrice kept asking what each detour was teaching her and never stopped writing, landing sync placements on Netflix, HBO Max, and The Voice along the way.
Want to break into sync licensing yourself? Get resourceful and bullheaded: take a class, build mu…
