Getting healthier as you age

Walking is one of the best ways of keeping healthy. Some argue that if they do housework, they need not go out for walks. Walking is not just for physical health but for mental health as well. It is not very healthy to be cooped up in the house the whole day long. You also need the sunshine (natural vitamin D). 

Here are some ways to keep your mind healthy. 

  • Learning languages will keep your mind agile and grow new pathways in the brain.
  • Listening to music and songs in as many languages as you like.
  • Write your own poem or sentences which promote healthy thoughts. You can read them as many times a day as you like.
How to remove loneliness in your lives.

Don't eat alone. Take a walk in the park. Go watch movies. Take up a hobby.

How to get out of the wheel chair.

Some statistics on age and their dependence on wheel chairs to move around will help. Some believe that health is inborn, that means you are born healthy or not. There are truths in genetics. How about those who were born healthy and then became unhealthy. Know your own body, as in what foods make you healthier and what foods make you sick. Become conscious of your health and the food you eat. Keep a daily journal of what you eat every day and your health. That could help you to see some correlation. There are off course, some who will not bother but will keep complaining about their health.

Pillars collapsing - Traitors from within

Pillars are what hold up a building. Whether it be a building, a nation or the world, the warning signs are there for you to see as they come down one by one. What do you think will happen when pillars continue to come down? 

New Hobby - Blow dart

Japan has introduced a new hobby for their citizens - blow dart. It is getting very popular. Even elderly, people on wheelchairs can play this game. I hope this sport will also be introduced in Singapore.
