Senior Citizens Embrace Active Lifestyles as “Elderly Elders”
As 80 becomes the new 70, senior citizens are redefining their role as the “elderly elder” and embracing new, active lifestyles.
There is no issue more important than senior health. The good news is health services for the elderly, along with social support and medical technologies, offer more quality of life as we move into our senior years. Current topics most under development include Alzheimer’s & dementia, burial services, life insurance for older adults, bereavement for seniors, stroke recovery, prostate cancer and more. Along with these serious issues, older adults are also exploring more pro-active lifestyle responses with healthy eating (smoothies!), vitamin supplements, exercise and other life-enhancing activities as we move into our advanced years.
What could be more enhancing for senior lifestyles than exploring the world with travel? As we age, we bring with us the freedom, disposable incomes, and health as a perfect combination to embark on travel adventures. Many travel agencies and cruise ships now skew packages specifically for the senior traveler. Explore the seas with Disney Cruise Lines, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean or Holland America who offer cruising for seniors. Or hit the road to the Grand Canyon, or enjoy the freedom of the open highway with and RV Lifestyle. Travel for seniors has endless opportunities for senior under any circumstances or budget.
And, what about the simpler things in life? We don’t necessarily need to gallivant off on a global trek for fulfillment. Check out the growing number of Jokes for Seniors for a good knee-slapper, or browse through online shopping and surprise your elder ones with great gift ideas. Enjoy some tasty snacks (did I mention smoothies!?) or just connect with other seniors online and share your elderly elder lifestyle comments.
As 80 becomes the new 70 (then 70 becomes the new 60, right?), we can explore these new opportunities as our growing age-group truly defines the “golden” years.
