Hands to Help Seniors
Eat Colorful Fruits And Vegetables
by Richard Kuehn on 04/01/23
Try to eat
eight to ten small servings per day of colorful fruits and vegetables in order
to stay healthy, say researchers. They
provide fiber, vitamins and thousands of micro-nutrients called phytochemicals. As we age, our ability to extract nutrients
decreases, which is why inflammation increases as we age.
Even Small Amount Of Exercise Can Improve A Senior’s Health
by Richard Kuehn on 03/28/23
A paper
published in Nature Magazine showed that tiny spurts of exercise throughout the
day are associated with significant reductions in disease risk. The researchers used data from fitness
trackers collected by the UK company Biobank.
They looked at the records of 25K people who did not regularly exercise,
with an average age of 60 years old.
They followed them over the course of almost seven years. Those who engaged in one or two-minute burst
of exercise three times a day like speed-walking or rapidly climbing stairs
showed a nearly 50% reduction in cardiovascular mortality risk and about a 40%
reduction in the risk of dying from cancer as well as all causes of
mortality. This shows that it’s not
necessary to do vigorous workouts—every little bit of exercise helps.
New 3G Device Coming To Market Which Can Detect Strokes
by Richard Kuehn on 12/28/22
I read a story saying that every 40 seconds, someone in the
U.S. has a stroke, a shocking statistic.
Some are massive and easy to recognize.
Others are small and can be undetectable. A recent study of in-hospital strokes found
that most go undetected for more than four hours, which can be very
dangerous. Thankfully, there is a new
product coming to market in 2023 called Neuralert, which the FDA designated a
breakthrough device last year. The pair
of smart wristbands use a proprietary algorithm to track arm asymmetry or
weakness, common symptoms of a stroke.
Neuralert can detect symptoms in as little as 15 minutes, and
automatically alert medical staff.
