You have probably been told to bundle up in cold weather so that you don’t become sick. The truth is, cold weather or not, it takes exposure to a virus or bacteria to cause an infection. In fact, going outside and getting more physical activity can prevent sickness. One reason why infections may become more prevalent during cold, wet weather is that more people spend time indoors, clustering together and increasing the likelihood of transmission from one person to another. Getting more rest is a good thing to help a weakened immune system. Your local healthfood/supplement store can also advise you on how to keep your immune system healthy.

Spending time with seniors, especially family, reinforces bonds of love and respect. These carry on even during times when they have less contact with friends and family.

Hearing loss affects people of all ages. It can happen not just from aging, but also caused by genetics, medical reasons, and exposure to loud noise. You can be proactive about your hearing by getting a hearing test if you suspect hearing loss. As people are becoming more proactive about their health wearing hearing aids earlier in life to correct hearing loss is easier to adapt to.
