According to a research conducted by the University of Chicago researchers, it is not true that as people get older, sex get old as well. Sex does not have to get old just because of aging.

According to researchers, there are many other factors that affect their attitudes towards sex. This includes their past life, such as the way they smoke and other health concerns.

Inf act, there are a lot of subjects who are still interested in sex even if they are already around 80 years old. Due to advancements, there are a lot of drugs that elderly men can use in case they are failing to sustain an erection. Viagra is an example of this.

2. Use an inhaler.
3. Stay indoors as long as possible.
4. If you are exercising, warm up first before you continue to open up airways.
5. Avoid very cold air which is more dry than warm air.

It is not a secret that senior citizens have lost the body strength that they used to have when they were at the peak of their youth. Eventually, they would end up experiencing accidents such as falls. More over, they would end up experiencing sprain. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, more than 25,000 people do it everyday.

The ankle swells much and it hurts more than it even looks. One who sprained his ankle may even hear a pop when it happened.

An X-ray is recommended so that the bones can be checked for fractures and to make sure that no bones are broken. Rest is the key to sprain. Do not walk on it and you could ice it to keep the swelling down. Use compressive bandages to support your injury and elevate your ankle above the heart level for 48 hours. If it is severe, you may need to have a short leg cast for up to three weeks or a cast-brace. If it goes down the wire, you may end up with a surgical repair to tighten the ligaments.

Sprain is something that has to be cared fo to avoid further damages. For a senior, it is best to rest and to have it checked from time to time.

Reuters Health - Researchers gave out a new advice for older men on how they could somehow preserve their sexual function. The advice is to have sex and have it often.

After testing older men for five years, they have noticed that those who were having sex regularly at the start of the study were at a much lower risk of developing erectile dysfunction by the end of the study. It seems in the study that the more they had sex, the lower their ED risk becomes.

The researchers are then encouraging men to stay sexually active into their golden years. There are a number of factors that contribute to ED which include age, heart disease, diabetes, and sexual activity.

ED occurs when there is a present problem with the blood flow to the penis. With regular sexual activity, it will help in maintaining a healthy blood vessel function in the tissues. To cap it off, the researchers noted, “use it, or lose it.”

 

If you are a caregiver and you are taking care of someone with Alzheimer’s disease, administering medication can be a very critical responsibility. You have to prevent missed pills and wrong dosages.

Here are some suggestions in administering medication:

1. Learn each medication before administering it. Make it a point that you know what each pill is for.
2. Always explain what the pill is for and why and how it should be taken.
3. Keep the medication well organized and safely stored.
4. Do not engage in a struggle just to take the medicine. If the person does not want to take it at a particular moment, then you can try again at a later time.
5. Make it as easy as possible. Ask the pharmacist for liquid which is a lot easier to administer than a pill. If this is not possible, ask the pharmacist to crush the pill and put it in food.

 

The fear of breaking a bone and a hip is something that elders often carry behind their minds. However, a new government study claims that hitting their head could bring a variety of serious and deadly consequences. Brain injuries actually account for half of all the deaths from falls.

The researchers said that a lot of people often get the notion that a fall is not serious unless they broke a bone or a hip. They no longer worry about their heads. They found out that half of the cases of fall deaths are linked closely to brain injuries. The other deaths were because of heart failure, strokes and chronic conditions that only worsen because of a fall.

As people age, the veins and the arteries become more fragile. They can be easily torn during a sudden blow or a sudden jolt to the head area. This can cause a serious problem such as the deadly brain bleed. The severity of brain injuries is not apparent. Some people may not even lose consciousness and then death will strike in about an hour or 2.

Being careful is a key ingredient in avoiding injuries.
