A special note from Carole, with your 10% OFF coupon code JULY10 that ends today!
What happens to your vitamin D level as you age? To your fitness level? What decisions are you making today to help you achieve the goal of ‘aging in place’? If you or any of your friends are considering such a living goal, make sure #1 you have tested your levels of vitamin D, Omega 3’s, and magnesium.
At this point in my life, I’m 80 years old, and my husband Leo is 94! We have the privilege of already having chosen this goal of measuring these nutrient levels and taking steps towards keeping them within a healthy range. Without already having achieved the higher nutrient levels as suggested by our GrassrootsHealth experts, and seeing the spectacular benefits (some of which YOU have demonstrated as part of the GrassrootsHealth’ participant cohort) we know we’d now be rushing to make this happen!
Every day—we age! As does everyone of all ages. All children, all people, all animals. One of the biggest things I see when talking/interacting with others (including my dog, Ganesha) is the joy of what I interpret as independence, i.e., ‘Doing what I want, and finding immediate rewards in making the choices’.
AND, we have chosen to ‘Age in Place’ as we approach the rest of our lives. With this in mind, we wanted to share some of what we have found out that could also help you save time and frustration as you or a loved one approaches this same stage in life.
The first thing you can do in your physical environment for Balance and Mobility and to help with exercises could be with ‘Grabbars’—we had our children (the 50+ ones) visit recently, and they got to see the Grabbars that are throughout our house, in the bathrooms, around entry ways from outside/stairs, and, they wanted to put them in their homes quickly for themselves and their guests!
If you’d like to have more information about Aging in Place, stay in touch! I’ll share lots more soon. Today, please do your testing to get your nutrients up to date with your chosen target levels, and we’ll help us all track the data.
This is a good time also to think about your donations–$5.00 to any level you like. Your donations help us provide feedback and promotions to all! Whatever you choose to donate, please check with at least one other person to get a ‘matching’ donation and, ask them to do the same. It works!
Life is full—for a long time!
Enjoy.
Onwards, always yours,
Carole
