Diet Soda could break your heart seriously!

(January 30, 2015)An unlikely cause of heart problems in senior citizen women is from a culprit  many of us have in our refrigerators. Diet soda. According to a national study, ,cited in an article on the AARP website this past April, post menopausal women that drink diet soda on a regular basis have a greater likelihood of having heart attacks and strokes.

The study showed that women who drank two or more diet sodas a day were 30 percent more likely to have cardiovascular problems and had a 50 percent stronger chance of dying from a heart related disease than those who did not drink as much diet soda.

But that's not all! This study seems to be supported by previous research where artificial sweeteners in drinks were found to be associated with teenage and adult weight gain and an increase in Metabolic Syndrome which increases ones chances of having heart disease. 

While this study was quoted to have only proved an association between drinking diet soda and heart related diseases and did not prove that drinking diet soda causes heart disease it still may be a better idea to drink water when your thirsty and stay away from the diet soda!

Why Sleep is Especially Important for Senior Citizens | The Allure Group

No matter how old you are it has been proven that a good night’s sleep is an essential aspect of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. For senior citizens especially, getting a good night’s sleep is crucial to one’s physical and emotional health and stability, for several reasons.

Senior citizens who get a good night’s sleep, on a regular basis, are more focused, have better memory formation, and less overall memory related problems. The reason for this is because while sleeping, one’s body is able to repair any cell damage which happened that day. Sleep also helps improve one’s immune system to help prevent diseases.

Additionally, senior citizens who get a good night’s sleep, are less likely to suffer from depression, and are less tired over the course of the day. While sleeping well, senior citizens also tend to experience fewer nighttime falls, are less sensitive to pain, use fewer prescription or over the counter sleep medications, and are less likely to suffer from life threatening diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. In fact, women are even less likely to suffer from breast cancer.

For these reasons, The Allure Group takes sleeping well at night very seriously. The care center trains its staff to take special precautions during night time hours to keep noise to an absolute minimum. Who knew getting a good night’s sleep could have such tremendous advantages for senior citizens!
