Senior Citizens - Arthritis Remedies

Here is an article on arthritis remedies that someone sent us a while ago. I have been thinking of starting a separate Blog just for Senior Citizens ailment and their remedies Let me know what you think.

Both Acute and Chronic illnesses in Senior Citizens such as arthritis, are often linked to food eaten. Researches show that certain food may start arthritic pain. But on the positive side, recent studies also show that some food may alleviate arthritic pain. It must be stated that far from being cures, these holistic remedies should be regarded as an add on to your doctors. they may act as preventive measures.

Teas are known detoxifiers and cleansers. But did you know that they may also minimize inflammatory signals that cause arthritic pain in Senior Citizens? It is actually advised by some doctors to patients who suffer from arthritis to drink more tea. Moreover, all teas made from tea leaves are said to have the same effect. This means that it doesn't matter if you prefer black tea over green tea. Another drink which may have high anti-inflammatory agents for Senior Citizens is red wine or other grape-based wine. Fresh grapes are also advised since these agents are actually found on the skins of red grapes.

Vegetables are also believed to restrict transmissions of pain signals. Some experts even advocate the removal of animal products from your diet to reduce pain and inflammation due to arthritis within the Senior Citizens population.

Broccoli has glutathione, an efficient detoxifier and antioxidant. Researches show that Senior Citizens with lower glutathione levels are more prone to arthritis than Senior Citizens with higher levels. If you don't like brocolli; cauliflower, tomatoes, asparagus, potatoes, and cabbages also have high levels of glutathione.

If you are a fruit person, this agent is found in watermelon, grapefruit, peaches, oranges, avocados and pineapples.

Containing large amounts of fatty acids like omega-3, fish had also made its mark as an anti-inflammatory agent. Some researchers actually found that consuming more fish reduced risks of developing arthritis in elderly women. Omega-3 in fish limit the inflammatory agent production. Fish diets composed of tuna, mackerel, herring, and other oily fish are recommended.

Fish oils supplements are even prescribed for Senior Citizens who suffer from severe arthritis. Another source of good fatty acids is olive oil. Experts recommend cooking vegetables in olive oil. They found out that compared to raw vegetables, those cooked in olive oil actually produce more anti-inflammatory agents.

Yet another food that may help reduce pain caused by arthritis is soya or soya beans. It's main use is as an excellent substitute for protein.

Maintain a diet abundant in the above-mentioned foods and minimize the discomfort of having arthritis. Don't have arthritis? Start this diet just the same and lower the odds of having it. After all, no one wants to be a Senior Citizens with aching joints.

Remember a BALANCED diet is best

When You Retire

Senior Citizens - When You Retire

Most people only plan for their ‘working life,’ the years including education for a career, setting professional goals, having a family, but retirement demands just as much planning, if not more, than a career. Every stage in a person or couple’s lives should be addressed and you should try to gain the optimal satisfaction from each stage.

In most cases, preparation for retirement should not start later than age 55 for a woman and between 59 and 62 for a man. These days people are beginning to live longer, and following retirement at these ages, they may have 20 years left…so don’t put all that time to waste.

There are countless options for what you as a Senior Citizen want to do with your retirement. It can act as a continuation of your ‘old’ life; you can work on or finish projects there was never time for before. It can also be perceived as a whole new life—much more enjoyable than the old one. If you want to do this, you have to set some goals for yourselves:

Do you want to…?
-Obtain a degree you never completed or started before?
-Join a club…from chess to hiking?
-Travel to new countries?
-Learn ballroom dancing with your partner?
-Learn to play an instrument…the guitar or zitar?
-Volunteer at a charity organization?
-Become more involved in your church?
-Take an art or ceramics class?
-Start a new business with other Senior Citizens?

Make sure to do something that you’re passionate about. As a Senior Citizen you are finally free to be yourself. You might have followed in your parents’ footsteps when you were younger. Now you are ripe, and know exactly what interests you and don’t need to follow other people’s dreams.

Associate with other people your age who have similar interests as you and your spouse. Start a small group that meets weekly for lunch You’ve got plenty of time, so have a few set appointments that you want to attend…an aerobics class twice a week and a sewing class. This will give you something to look forward to and will probably give you some ‘homework’ to occupy your time during the week. The best part is…you don’t have to worry about getting a grade on that work!

Senior Citizens - Should You Opt for a Retirement Community?

Senior Citizens - Should You Opt for a Retirement Community?
Often as retirement approaches, many Senior Citizens choose to move into a retirement community as opposed to a private home. There are things to consider when taking this route in your retirement.The first step in shopping for a Senior Citizens retirement community is taking a good look at what you want…much like a personal inventory. Characteristics such as age, health, marriage, financial status, religious preference, personal interests and hobbies will help define the type and location of retirement communities best suited to a Senior Citizens or couple’s personalities and capabilities. Don’t worry…there are plenty of options when it comes to retirement communities…there is one just for you!
The fees and ongoing costs of a Senior Citizens retirement community can vary widely. Some retirement care communities provide unlimited medical and nursing home care as part of the total package. Others include a certain amount or level of care, but charge more if you exceed the limits. Still others are "fee-for-service," with the charges depending on the care needed.
Many Senior Citizens communities will require applicants to pass physical and mental checks. Applicants with cancer, strokes or dementia may have their applications rejected. Even facilities that accept people with unhealthy conditions do so on a space-available basis. Therefore, the best idea is to apply while you are still healthy. People who wait until their first health crisis to apply might not get in.
So-called "independent living” retirement communities are designed for Senior Citizens who are relatively independent, both physically and socially. The primary perk in this kind of retirement community is maintenance-free living; no house and lawn upkeep, linen service, trash pickup, transportation, and lunch served in a common dining center. These kinds of retirement community homes give Senior Citizens the freedom to truly enjoy the "Golden Years". Activities are another big part of independent living communities and often include crafts, exercise classes, live entertainment, movies, parties, outings and overnight bus trips, each adding a new dimension to the Senior Citizens’s experience. Residents generally choose apartments from one of three floor plans.When looking at a retirement community, find out if it is accredited. The Continuing Care Accreditation Commission is the only accrediting agency for continuing care retirement communities. Ask how medical care is provided. Is assisted living or nursing home care on site or on-call? Scrutinize the agreement and make sure you thoroughly understand it. Also, some retirement communities will let potential applicants spend a night in the retirement community home and take a meal. If you do this, take every opportunity to talk to as many other residents as possible to get a truly unvarnished view.

Getting Ready to Retire

Getting Ready to Retire

There are countless strategies that to improve the quality of your retirement. However, there are some essentials to keep in mind as you approach and endeavor on your retirement. This is a time full of opportunities…here are some ideas to maximize your satisfaction.

Pump up your retirement savings by increasing your contributions to your 401(k). New contribution limits let you stash more dollars in your qualified plan than ever before. You find in the long run, you will not regret this.

Save automatically by setting up automatic deposits to a mutual fund or IRA. When you get a raise, consider directing all or part of it to your retirements savings. This will prevent the money ever from passing through your hands or your wallet, which will limit spending on extraneous things.
Take the time to think through your investment strategy. What will be the right investment mix for you once you are retired? What is your current investment mix? It never hurt to take the opportunity to rethink your financial strategies.

Review your life insurance coverage and consider long-term care protection. You may think it seems a long way off now, but preparing now could save you thousands later and give you the ability to choose your own care. This will ensure not only saved money, but saved stress on yourself and family members in the future.

Take this opportunity to be a little selfish. If you have the funds, go on a vacation or take a course you’ve always wanted. Sure, you can still help out with your grandchildren’s college fund, but make sure there is a little left over for your own enjoyment.

Determine the impact of early retirement on your retirement benefits from your employer’s plan. Learn the difference between taking out a lump sum payment and income for life. This is a situation where you might want professional advice.

Finally, don’t let a new car or an extravagant vacation lure you off course. Make your retirement a priority before you get there, and you’ll find that you will have more money to spend on all the things you want later in life. Waiting will pay off!

Making Your Retirement Dollars Go Further

Making Your Retirement Dollars Go Further

It has been said over and over again that there are 2 keys to making retirement assets last: asset allocation and managing your withdrawals. However, as you enter retirement you will realize that there countless choices to make. So what are the best ways to increase your chances of retirement success?

Firstly, and obviously, keep a lid on those withdrawals. Research shows that the ‘magic number’ is 4 percent. If you keep your annual withdrawals below four percent, your money has a good chance of outlasting you. Remember, though, that the balance is a moving target—4 percent of a $500,000 balance is $10,000 less than four percent of a $750,000 balance.

Another possibility is to work longer. If you don’t think that four percent is enough to live comfortably, think about working a bit longer. This doesn’t mean work until you are 85, but a few extra years may help. A few extra years in the workforce gives your portfolio more time to grow and reduces the number of years you will need to use that money.

Try to have a cushion. Two to three years' worth of living expenses in a money-market fund or short-term bond fund means you won't have to sell investments when they're down. Also, allocate wisely. The solution isn't ever to have 100 percent of your assets in equities, nor is it to have 100 percent in treasuries and cash. The solution, of course, lies somewhere in between.

No matter your age, you have an IRA rollover in your future. If you're an older baby boomer, and you've been saving smartly in a company plan for a decade or more, you'll be rolling over what could be a six- or seven-figure sum from your 401(k). For younger folks, you have a rollover decision to make every time you change jobs. What do you do?

Don't spend it. It may sound obvious to say don't cash a lump sum out of your current plan and spend it — yet that's exactly what many people do. Big mistake. You'll owe income taxes plus a 10 percent penalty if you're under age 59 1/2, and you'll lose the chance for future tax-deferred growth.

Getting Advice About Retirement

Getting Advice About Retirement

When it comes to retirement, it is difficult to predict what will happen. The economy is always changing, which means it is hard to know how much money is enough and how you should prepare. Here are a few ideas to get your feet planted…

If your employer is offering a retirement plan, it is almost always a good idea to participate in this. Many plans allow employees to contribute pre-tax dollars and some employers even match contributions up to a certain percentage.

As you choose an investment mix for your retirement plan, consider your tolerance for risk and the length of time you have until retirement. If you do not have a lot of time until retirement, you may want to steer clear of more aggressive investments, which tend to be more volatile.

Remember that traditional IRA contributions may be tax-deductible. For the 2001 tax year, the modified adjusted gross income deductibility threshold for active participants in an employer-sponsored retirement plan ranges from $33,000 - $43,000 for single filers and $53,000-$63,000 for a married couple filing jointly. If you are not participating in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, 100% of contributions are deductible. If you are not able to deduct a Traditional IRA contribution, consider a Roth IRA. With the Roth, income grows tax-free.

If at all possible, try to avoid withdrawals from your retirement account. For example, if you are changing jobs, roll your 401k (or other pension plan) directly into a Conduit IRA. This type of IRA will maintain your plan's tax-deferred status and allow it to be rolled over to a future employer's plan.

IRA contributions for a tax year that are made any time before April 15 of the following year may still be deductible on the previous year's return. Talk to a tax advisor for more information.
There are plenty of things to think over when it comes to retirement, but make sure to keep these ideas fresh in your head. Retirement will creep up on you faster than you think, so it’s best to be ready for whatever it may throw at you.

Choosing a Retirement Home

Choosing a Retirement Home

So you’ve decided it is time to retire or maybe you have been retired for several years. Thoughts of moving into a
retirement home have started to cross your mind. So what is the best option? Where should you look? What are some
things to be aware of?

As with many other things in life, getting into retirement homes boils down to a question of money. Financing a retirement
home is now a little easier if you are a homeowner; an increasing number of mortgage companies offer ways to convert
equity you’ve built up in your home into money for a retirement community home. Before you shop for a retirement home,
talk to a mortgage specialist and find out if you can apply your equity to paying for a senior retirement home, and how
much you would have to work with.

Many people buy insurance to help financing a retirement home well in the future. Some insurance companies offer
private insurance policies specifically for long-term nursing home care. If you choose to go this route, make sure to shop
carefully. These policies can vary greatly in coverage and cost, and it is important to understand precisely what kind of
policy you are purchasing, and whether it will support the kind of retirement homes you will need.

Many people make the mistake of believing that Medicare covers the cost of most long-term care services such as
retirement homes. However, Medicare only covers short-term, acute care during a hospital stay. You will need to work
out other forms of financing if you haven’t saved enough by the time you need to find a retirement home.

Financing retirement homes with an insurance policy can help meet the expenses you'll encounter, but you must be
careful. If you are considering an insurance policy, make sure that it pays benefits immediately upon entry into a nursing
care facility or senior retirement home. Many insurance policies, which are purchased prior to the need for nursing care,
require a waiting period after entry into a nursing care facility before payments are made. It is highly unlikely that nursing
care insurance can be purchased after a person has entered a nursing care facility

Choosing a Place to Retire

Choosing a Place to Retire

Placement is one of the most important things when retiring. Distance from family, neighborhood, finances, etc. all come into play when considering your retirement location.

When house hunting for the best place to retire, don't worry about finding your dream home right away. You can always trade up later. If you have benefited from the real estate boom in your first home, you can easily put your equity to work in a second place to retire. Or you can trade down to a smaller home.

Looking for the best place to retire means the best place for you. When contemplating retirement locations, consider factors like taxes, median home price, the local night life, sports teams, golf courses, culture, educational opportunities, crime rates and the overall environment.
Also, keep in mind the distance from friends and family. If you have new grandchildren, you may not want to move clear across the country. Remember, unlike some professional athletes, you're only going to retire once. So make the best choices the first time.

Your search for the best place to retire might include a factor your parents never considered: work. A recent study found that 70 percent of those 45 and older plan to continue working in their "retirement" years, another survey found that the number may be as high as 80 percent. Surprisingly, the pure enjoyment of work or a desire to try something new are significant considerations for choosing retirement locations.

One interesting trend among people looking for the best place to retire is to choose retirement places with appealing cultural and recreational lifestyles, then looking for ways to earn a living there. Some who make this jump end up telecommuting, starting a small business, or working part-time.

The best place to retire for you might be a college town. Many of those wondering where to retire were in college from the middle 1960s into the early '70s and so a college or university areas can be good retirement places. In addition, universities generate jobs and lend a youthful vibe. And they often come with arts centers, medical facilities, and good restaurants.

Everyone has fun at Crystal Mountain. It is a great

more for intermediate skiers and expert skiers –
although beginners will have fun as well. Just use
good sense, and avoid trails that you don’t feel like

Rebranding Tips Ideas

Rebranding Tips & Ideas
Rebranding the Webmaster Tools rebrandable and re-badgeable products with your own site details and promotional messages is a sure way of creating a viral storm directed at a targeted audience.You distribute the product with your message embedded, give your users resale or distribution rights and they then distribute the software with your details still embedded.Think LaterallyThink laterally though and I am sure you can find many other ways to use the rebrander to increase your back end income.For example why not use the rebrander to promote someone else's site?Yes your heard me right! Use the rebrander to promote someone else's site using your affiliate link to that site. Pick 3-4 of your better performing affiliate programs and rebrand a different version for each link. Then every so often change the version that your users are downloading. That way you will be promoting a number of different income streams at the same time and others will be distributing/marketing those affiliate links for you.This method is not restricted to Webmaster Tools products. You should be able to do it with any rebrandable software where you can enter an URL.Be different, be creative and you will be turning your small investment on rebrander software into a money making venture.Tailor Your PromotionThink about the people who will use the end product and tailor your promotion to suit. For example I can tell you the following about Webmaster Tools users...

1. They are all Webmasters or soon to be Webmasters.


2. They vary in experience but most are newbies through to middle experienced users.


3. They are all looking for products that will make their web page design easier. They are probably looking for other products that make other parts of their life easier too.


4. Emails and posts in my forum suggest that there are a large number of MS FrontPage users.


5. They ALL use computers and therefore are not daunted by modern technology.


6. The greater percentage of users are male.


7. Almost all users want to earn some money from their web site, even if it is just from an affiliate link or two.

Amongst other things that should tell you that, in general, Webmaster Tools users...

1. Will be interested in products that will help them easily create a web site.


2. Will be interested in products that help them promote/market their web site.


3. Will be interested in products that earn them an online income.


4. Will probably be interested in products that generally make computer use easier and safer. Think tutorials, anti-virus, anti-spyware etc here.

You should be performing this type of analysis on every product or service that you promote. The main questions are, I suspect, "What does the product/service do?", "Who would use it?", What benefit would they get from using it?", and "What other products would they be interested in?".You are not going to be successful in marketing any product unless you can answer those questions.Apply these techniques when you are rebranding any product and you have every chance of increasing your income.
