The NEW Aging

Baby Boomers Set the Trends, Stay on the Go By Julie Jacobs

aby boomers are an interesting and influential lot. Born between 1946 and 1964, the oldest of the bunch are now over 65 and lead lives much different from those of just a generation before. They’re more active, for starters, as well as more demanding (in a good way) for all that life has to offer. And why shouldn’t they be? Currently, baby boomers account for a staggering 75 million Americans, and the 65+ segment is expected to represent nearly one-fifth of the United States population by 2030. Here we take a look at what life is like for today’s boomers.

Home and Hearth

With thousands of baby boomers turning 65 every day and still wanting to live independently, the trend in housing for this group has veered away from the traditional institutional life to communities focused on mutual interests, backgrounds and age ranges. Some involve “cohousing,” where residents live in private homes but can take advantage of communal dining and recreational spaces. Often, they cater specifically to people 55 and older and offer a range

of activities, like book and gardening clubs, which promote social networking. And while many boomers look to simplify their living quarters after their kids have left the nest, they don’t necessarily want to downsize into small apartments. In fact, because many boomers continue to work, they’re able to afford the extra square footage along with amenities that both provide them with a comfortable lifestyle and free them from the rigors of mowing laws and shoveling snow. Experts say boomers have always led the way when it comes to lifestyle, even with respect to the cars we drive. While once they opted for big automobiles, now they choose small-utility vehicles (SUVs) or compact cars—albeit models loaded with all the latest features, technological and otherwise.

Staying Healthy

Without a doubt, baby boomers have redefined their daily living with a focus on health and wellness. Toward this end, they want products and services that address not only their medical needs, but also their emotional and spiritual needs (think yoga

Boomers are more active, as well as more demanding (in a good way) for all that life has to offer. and meditation). They also seek out life experiences and are keen to try things, which helps them keep in good mental and physical shape. In a recent AARP survey of 760 boomers, 43% of respondents considered their physical health to be very good or extremely good. Overall, the boomer generation is expected to live longer than previous generations—to age 84 on average. This rise in lon-

gevity, however, does come at a price: an upsurge in chronic age-related health conditions such as arthritis, heart disease and diabetes. As a result, boomers are starting to turn in ever-increasing numbers to palliative care, a fast-growing specialty that addresses the relief of ongoing pain and discomfort. But boomers can nurture their good health by practicing the following: • stretching gently and exercising at an appropriate pace every day. • working their brains by doing crossword puzzles and other mind games. • talking to their doctors about calcium and Vitamin D supplements for strong bones, and B12 supplements for healthy nerves and blood cells. • getting screened regularly for blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Reinventing Retirement

Retirement for most baby boomers no longer means lazy days, countless hours teeing off, or even a move to Florida. Instead, it involves broadening horizons, learning new skill sets, and in some cases embarking on a second career. More and more, the 65+ set is applying its knowledge and experience to starting new businesses that help realize lifelong dreams. Boomers also are participating in programs aimed at the greater good. Take AARP’s Experience Corps, for example, which engages older adults as tutors, mentors and literacy volunteers for students nationwide. And when they’re not teaching others, boomers look to learn themselves. Many universities and colleges are beginning to offer opportunities for seniors to attend classes for free or for a nominal fee, while also enjoying and taking part in campus life. Through such community affiliations, baby boomers are immersing themselves in creative and intellectually stimulating environments. And if there’s homework involved? Well, that surely brings them back to their younger days!

Keep Kids SAFE All Summer Long S • Teach children to never play on or around a lawn mower, even when it is not in use. They should never be permitted to walk along side, in front of or behind a moving mower.

ummer is a time of playground fun, camping, swimming and other outdoor activities. When kids are outdoors, their sense of adventure and curiosity soars, which can, unfortunately, lead to a higher risk of injuries. In fact, according to the Safe Kids Worldwide organization, each year one in four children 14 years of age and younger will sustain an injury that requires medical attention. The good news is that many of these injuries are preventable by following a few simple tips and learning how to avoid accidents and injuries.

• Children under six years of age should be kept inside the home while mowing.

Fire Safety Simplified Every hour, approximately 16 children are injured from fires or burns, according to the Safe Kids Worldwide organization. Use these tips to keep safe around fireworks, grills and other heat sources:

Here are some tips to help your family safely enjoy all the fun summer has in store.

• Teach kids never to play with matches, gasoline, lighter fluid or lighters. Make a habit of placing these items up and away from young children.

Drive with Care

• Do not leave children unattended near grills, campfires, fire pits or bonfires. Always have a bucket of water or fire extinguisher nearby when burning fires.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, motor vehicle injuries are the leading cause of death and acquired disability for children and teens. These tips can help you and your children to stay out of harm’s way while in or around vehicles. • Teach your children to buckle up every time they get into a car, regardless of the length of the car ride. Buckling children in age- and size-appropriate car seats, booster seats and seat belts dramatically reduces the risk of serious and fatal injuries. • Check around your parked car for children before you pull away. Teach children to be aware of moving vehicles and to wait in safe areas where drivers can see them.

• To ensure a safe celebration, leave fireworks to the professionals. • If your child is injured by fire or fireworks, immediately take them to a doctor or hospital.

Playground 101 The Centers for Disease Control revealed that emergency departments treat more than 200,000 children ages 14 and younger for playground-related injuries every year. Before you let them play at the park or school playground, be sure they keep these precautions in mind:

• Accompany young children when they get in and out of a vehicle. Hold their hands when walking near moving vehicles, in driveways and parking lots.

Mowing Matters While it may seem like just a common household tool, thousands of children are injured in lawn mower accidents each year, some with severe effects.

• Use appropriate and properly fitting safety equipment when participating in any sport, such as helmets and goggles, which can greatly reduce the risk of head and eye injuries. • Take your children to playgrounds with shock absorbing surfaces. Choose parks and playgrounds that are appropriate for their age. Check for hazards or broken equipment and continuously supervise children while they play.

• Teach children to use playground and sports equipment properly. • Remind children that pushing, shoving and crowding on the playground can result in accidents and injuries.

Make a Safe Splash While playing poolside may be a blast, the Safe Kids Worldwide organization also revealed that drowning is the leading injuryrelated cause of death for children between 1-4 years of age. Fill your family’s summer days with these safe practices around the water: • Teach children to never go near or in the water without an adult present. Children and adults should never swim alone. • Give children your undivided attention when they are swimming or near any body of water. • Always have your children wear a Coast Guard approved, properly fitting life jacket while on a boat, around an open body of water or when participating in water sports. —Family Features

DIAMOND MINDS By Barry Farber

The Power of Foresight “Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, even though just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.”

Barry Farber

–Florence Scovel Shinn, metaphysicist

hen the great Michelangelo began as an apprentice sculptor, his teacher made him work in a quarry for several months, breaking and chipping rocks. During this time, he learned how rocks break apart, how they chip and how they react under pressure. As a result, when he began his career creating sculptures, Michelangelo understood how to work with stone. Before he began each piece, he studied the stone he was going to use; thinking about what would happen when it was cut, where it could be cut and where it would break. Before he ever took a chisel in his hand, he understood the rock he was going to use.

He began with a solid block of marble. Since he had studied, he knew the secrets of the stone. He looked at the rough rectangle of solid stone before him and saw the vision of David that he had created in his mind. Then he chipped away everything that was not David. Michelangelo saw David so clearly that he made the marble yield to his plan. Was every chip perfect? Most likely not. Did he make mistakes or have to make adjustments as he went along? Perhaps. In any case, however, nothing could erase that vision of David from his mind.

Before Michelangelo began to sculpt his famous piece, David, he sculpted him in his mind. He knew exactly how he wanted David to look, envisioning his proportions, curves, angles, stance and expression. Michelangelo saw David in his mind’s eye.

This phenomenon is called foresight. It is looking ahead with a clear vision of what the future will look like, even before it is reality. It is not magic or fortune telling. It is having a vivid concept of what a person wants his or her life to look like, directing his or her actions toward that vision, and then chipping away everything that is not helping him or her create the desired picture. Foresight is a powerful phenomenon. As people can learn from Michelangelo, having a vivid vision before beginning a task, as well as the willpower to learn and produce, can lead to the creation of a masterpiece.

“I would give all the wealth of the world, and all the deeds of all the heroes, for one true vision.” –Henry David Thoreau
