People in the United States are now living a lot longer then they did in the past.
Seniors are now becoming more active, and have discovered that they can increase their fitness levels quite dramatically.
Mental and physical health are now being studied. Not only is physical health maintainable, but so is mental health. In his best-selling book, Quantum Healing, Deepak Chopra states that:
“Careful study of healthy elderly people… has revealed that 80 percent of healthy Americans, barring psychological distress (such as loneliness, depression or lack of outside stimulation), suffer no significant memory loss as they age. The ability to retain new information can decline… but the ability to remember past events, called long-term memory, actually improves.
“As long as a person stays mentally active, he/she will remain as intelligent as in youth and middle age.”
