Take Precautions During Summer Months
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention says people
elders (ages 65 years and older) are more prone to heat related illness including Heat Stroke and Heat Exhaustion. It is recommended you visit older adults at least twice a day to check for symptoms of Heat Stress, keep them cool and monitor water intake. However, if the elder's doctor requires fluids to be regulated due to medications such as water pills, verify the requirements first. Check your local Senior Center as an optional cooling center if the elder's air conditioning is unreliable. A list of symptoms and other emergency preparedness information on heat-related illness can be found at the CDC website page. |
Spend Time with Young to Slow Dementia?
Arizona State University Scientists say research suggests that social intervention may be used to slow or treat age-related dementia.
While younger nurse bees tend the larvae, older bees forage for food. When the older bees were tricked into staying at the hive, their ability to learn new things increased and their brains changed at a molecular level. The study was published in the scientific journal, Experimental Gerontology, and you can read more online at Science Codex by clicking this article.
