When we think of getting old we tend to image ourselves with multiple health problems; depressed, incontinent, forgetful, senile and on a program of multiple medications.
What we don’t realize is that there are many seniors who maintain active social and independent lives. Being born with good genes plays an important role in how we age but not always.
Research on aging has shown that there are older people who remain mentally and physically active and productive well into their nineties. Some studies have even shown some improvements in certain areas. The research centers on aging are trying to identify why the changes in the body occur as well as looking at way to increase the number of those who age successfully.
Complementary therapies may help to contribute to maintaining high cognitive, physical, psychosocial and spiritual functioning. The Complementary & Alternative Medicine Program at Stanford is dedicated to researching the aging population. More on Anti-Aging Click Here
