“Think of sex as medicine without a prescription,” Dr. Rhea Rogers, a board-certified physician and co-host of Aging Untold, said.

Researchers argue routine smell testing could detect neurodegenerative disease and other health risks years earlier than current exams.

Metabolic wasting and sarcopenia in low-BMI geriatric diabetes can amplify frailty, impair immune competence, and reduce tolerance to acute stressors like infection or surgery.

Most of most people’s sodium intake comes not from added salt in cooking or at the table, but rather from ultraprocessed foods ... So cutting down on those can do a lot of good even if you’re using salt in your own cooking!

According to Education Week, more than half of U.S. states now require or strongly encourage schools to teach students to read and write in cursive – compared with just 14 states just a decade ago.

 The first cohort of seniors to have contended — not always enthusiastically — 
with a digital society has reached the age when cognitive impairment becomes more common.

We've presented plenty of posts about how loneliness hits seniors hard. It drags down their health and happiness in big ways.

Older folks often feel alone because life piles on losses as years go by. Spouses pass away. Close friends die too. Retirement ends daily chats at work. Mobility drops, so trips out become tough.

- Nuclear power plants produce minimal greenhouse gases compared to fossil fuel-based plants, making them a cleaner energy source for reducing climate change.

- Nuclear energy has an extremely high energy density, meaning a small amount of nuclear fuel can produce a large amount of electricity.

-  Nuclear power plants operate continuously for long periods (often 18-24 months) without interruption, providing a stable and reliable electricity supply.

- Nuclear energy is generated through a process called fission, where the nucleus of a heavy atom like uranium-235 splits into smaller parts, releasing a significant amount of energy.

-  A challenge with nuclear energy is the management of radioactive waste, which remains hazardous for thousands of years and requires secure storage solutions.

I've lived over 70 years. In that time, I've seen at least seven big U.S. fights with other nations. Sure, most weren't popular. But Congress backed every one. That means the American people did too, in a technical sense. Today, we're in a war over 65% of folks hate. It's unpopular. And it's illegal.
