Today is your day Boomer! It seems there is more to a healthly Boomer lifestyle than exercise and a plant-based diet. This according to guest speakers lined up by UBC for a new speaker series on healthy aging. The current chair of the program, Michael Kobor, says they still don’t know all the answers, but they do know where some of the secrets lie. Good nutrition and exercise are obvious ones, but less researched areas are important too. “There are also psychosocial aspects, like belonging and having a purpose in life." I bring this up because the first speaker is tonight, Monday, January 23, at 6:00pm and its focus is on the benefits.....yes, benefits of daily stress in our lives. Hmmm, interesting. I always thought stress was bad for you?! This series looks perfect for us Boomers, but you can only attend in-person if you live in the Vancouver area. For the rest of us, you can watch on-line via Zoom but you have to register ahead of time. Here is the registration/information website: healthyaging.med.ubc.ca. By the way, Kobor says they’re aiming to cut through all the misinformation and misleading marketing online to provide people with the knowledge they actually need to live long, happy lives. Sounds good; maybe give it a try Boomers. Cheers!
