Today is your day Boomer! Two health studies and one big health recommendation for Boomers today. The first is a survey of Canadians that shows about 1/3 of us are not exercising at all; for me, it is a little surprising because the rate has gone down since COVID started. I would think people holed up in their homes would need something to do, but....then they couldn't get out to their gyms or the gyms were closed. The second study includes an extensive review of scientific evidence that indicates exercise is a strong first solution for combatting depression and anxiety. I guess moving that body often gets you outside, in the sunshine, and feeling better! And lastly, Dr. Bonnie Henry is back! The BC Health Provincial Officer says Boomers over age 60 will qualify for a spring COVID booster shot starting in April. The age is over 50 if you are indigenous. Dr. Henry says "COVID-19 is circulating at a relatively high level and the virus is still changing; we will be in a very similar situation (in the fall)." So, this fall expect another COVID shot but it will likely be part of your regular flu shot...if you get one. Health, health, health Boomers....always on our minds. Cheers!
