Newest Information on Health for Seniors
Staying
Healthy Over 50 Studies show that weight training helps keep seniors healthy by increasing strength and building bone mass. And saying healthy is important if you want to enjoy retirement, but the way a person trains makes a difference in the efficacy of the workout. Using the correct weight amount in the gym or at home slowly increases strength and builds bone quicker.
Pulling up weights slowly, 10 seconds, not 2 seconds, benefits 50% more. . UPDATES FOR SENIORS WHO HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT HEALTH . MEDICAL UPDATE DEC 11, 2010: . Subject: Phenylpropanolamine (PPA) We have learned that Alka Seltzer is one of the many cold
medicines that contains Phenylpropanolamine (PPA) which can cause hemorrhagic strokes or
cerebral bleeding even with the first use. Below is a list of other medications that currently include the ingredient PPA.
These medicines are supposedly being recalled but some people have purchased this medication less than two weeks ago with
the PPA ingredient. Pharmaceutical companies have known about this danger for years, the public unfortunately, does not. Please review the list of medicines
with PPA and avoid these medications. All drugs containing PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE are dangerous. You may want to try calling
the 800 number listed on most drug boxes and inquire about a REFUND. STOP TAKING anything containing this ingredient. It has been linked to increased
hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in brain) among women ages 18-49 within three days after starting use of medication containing
PPA. Problems
were not found in men, but the FDA recommended that everyone (even children) seek alternative
medicine. The following medications contain Phenylpropanolamine: Acutrim Diet Gum Appetite Suppressant Acutrim

NEW MEDICAL FINDINGS and UPDATES . CANCER OF THE MOUTH AND THROAT Smoking,
tobacco chewing and their link cancer of the mouth and throat is a well-known fact. And now there is new
medical research on cancer of the mouth and throat which indicate that people who use mouthwash with higher amounts of alcohol are at more risk of getting those cancers. It was also noted in the
reports that the only mouthwashes that actually kill some of the bacteria and germs in the mouth all have
the higher amounts of alcohol. Their advice was to stop using mouthwashes with alcohol. . It was recommended that those individuals who
still want to rinse do so with products that do not contain alcohol (which by this report may defeat the whole purpose of
mouthwashing, which is to kill germs and bacteria), or make their own mouthwash with natural ingredients such as Peppermint,
baking soda and water. . DIABETES IN SENIOR CITIZENS...A DISEASE YOU CAN CONTROL.

WITH OUR BODIES.... Is it true that your ears grow throughout life? Yes, the outer ears do. Starting at birth, the ears are, proportionally, the body's largest feature. They grow rapidly until about age 10, then slow to the languid pace of about 0.22 millimeter per year, according to a study by Britain's Royal College of General Practitioners. Other studies show that the earlobe itself also lengthens throughout life (men have longer lobes than women). However, the size of the ear canal, which is formed by bone and cartilage, does not increase into old age. What makes your eyelid twitch?
