As Boomers Age, Healthy Aging Tactics and Resources Expand Exponentially
RealAge personifies the quest for health and youthfulness and packs site with tools
San Diego, CA, October 7, 2008 -- Ten years ago, the Educational Television Network declared September “Healthy Aging ® Month” to focus attention on positive aspects of getting older. Today, thanks to the unprecedented numbers of Baby Boomers strutting into their 50s and early 60s, aging has become the next “cool frontier.”
RealAge.com, the nation’s leading health and wellness Web site, celebrates Healthy Aging Month and personifies this trend with its patented RealAge Test and personalized RealAge Plan, which help people live longer and feel younger. Indeed, the site is an example of the explosion of products, resources, and information that’s occurred for adults facing everything from arthritis and retirement to grandparenting and dementia.
All of us can extend our warranties by taking better care of our bodies, according to RealAge advisers and best-selling authors Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Mehmet Oz. Through RealAge.com’s health centers and assessments, America’s favorite doctors speak to fears about “major agers” and show consumers how everyday changes in nutrition, exercise, stress management, and mental activity can reverse many of the effects of aging.
RealAge provides consumers with daily health tips to thwart heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other aging conditions. In addition, RealAge members receive:
- Condition-specific assessments to, for example, improve lipid profiles, delay the onset of diabetes or arthritis, and get personalized help with lifestyle changes
- Videos of strength training, tai chi, and other exercises designed to promote strong bones and muscles, greater flexibility, weight loss, and injury prevention
- Puzzles and brain-teasing games to keep mental acuity sharp
- A SkinAge Test that can pinpoint how old you look and then provide a 9-day regimen for looking younger
