These days, it's almost impossible not to find yourself being lectured to
by someone on your radio or television about the advantages of
healthy living. Most of the people doing the lecturing are just trying to
sell you some "miracle" product or another. However, beneath their
huckster-like pitches, there is actually a core of truth; we can all have
a better quality of life, if we're healthy.
You don't have to go totally crazy to be healthy. There is no reason to
give up everything you enjoy. It's more a matter of, "Everything in
moderation". If there's something you enjoy eating, and it's not all
that good for you, there's no reason you can't have a little of it every
once in awhile. Just don't go on a binge or eat it every day. The same
basic rule also applies to activities. Moderation is the key.
Now, that being said, if a senior wants to stay as healthy as they can,
