At 61, I've never felt better in my life. Why? Because I take good c/o myself. I do all those horrible things like getting plenty of exercise, not smoking, not drinking, not eating junk food. It takes discipline to live a long & healthy life & I intend to. I beat diabetes by exercising & changing my diet. I also beat bipolar disorder, for some unknown reason, I just outlived it. People don't know that it's sometimes possible to outgrow bipolar depression or manic depression, which is its more descriptive name. I have so much to be thankful about & I thank God every day of my life I'm alive & can use my body to do gardening, dancing, write Amazon reviews and 25 minutes on the elliptical machine. I intend to stick around for as long as I can. I love life. Every day is a new surprise and a chance to write a new poem.

Well, I am not so worried about their health as I am about the millions who are without health insurance, and the availability of housing. The Boomers haven't even hit and the housing is gone, by that i mean that there is a two year wait now for tax credit housing, their is no section 8 left, and the voucher systems is in stall for four years. if you are going to live on social security forget itthese tax credit building range in the area of 650 plus electricity and of course everything is electric.
I checked with several national research groups, and the fact is housing doesn't exist.
The services have dried up and many prople are discussing the problem but can do nothing about it. Further, the corporations are firing the 50 years old, who then cannot get a job, regardless of experience. Circuit City fired 3500 employees because they were being paid too much, by firing them the also lost their benefits. As a group their is no real continuity to make a difference, I am surrounded with unemployeed Phd's, managers of factories all over the world
scrambling to find something to make some money and hold onto whatever they have. For those who have not saved for this event, like myself it is a time to get all of us on a page and perhaps interact and come up with some ideas.

I think you forgot what the articleis really about. Health is the issue and everyone - every generation alive to day is having problems. Cancer is killing our Children and our grandparents and everyone in-between. We have new diseases popping up everyday. It isn't the boomer's problem it's everyone�s. We have to fight the results of our "prosperity". Our bodies fight off pollutants in everything - air, water, food. Our food is no long able to give us the nutrients it once did because the soil is depleted and all the hybrid manipulation to make things bigger and bug resistant and have a longer shelf life they forgot the vitamins and minerals that sustain life. The Pharmaceutical industry wants your money they don't want to make you well - just feel better enough that you keep taking their products because you do feel "a little better.

We need natural cures for most of what ails us today. More vitamins and minerals, probiotics (good bacteria), & cleanses to rid our bodies of the toxins we keep putting into them. Natural is always better than chemical. Yes chemical is cheaper but they don't work the same - if at all. I'm a boomer (56) and I'm not on a bunch of meds and I feel like I can do anything! I take vitamins and minerals and probiotics and cleanses and I will outlive most and be healthier longer. Life is only good if the quality is there. I'm not one to waste away watching TV 14 hrs a day. There are great products out if you want to start slow everyone should be on a probiotic - it works in your intestines where most of your immune system is. Keep it healthy and the rest of you should stay healthy. Then take a good multipurpose, whole food vitamin, not a synthetic one. If you don't know where to get them try www.allnewhealth.com their stuff is all natural and you can buy a membership and get everything at wholesale prices.
