Electro shock treatments get an update. Back in the 70's I assisted in the care of hundreds of people in EST. then it was controlled somewhat annestigia. Before that images of "One Flew over the Cookoo's Nest comes to mind. If you never seen that film or read the book do so. It will show you how far we have come in treating mental illness. Danny Devito's character is priceless. EST in the 70's was still very invasive, it was better than suicide, but it wasn't for the faint of heart to observe. Still today medicatthion and therapy won't help some who are depressed. Inavasive low currents are now given that with medication sertraline may help serious depressed people. There are those that aren't convinced. See the article

One of my favorite vacation times is cruising. You can eat healthy and get plenty of exercise along the way. It is easy to plan a snorkeling outing or a hike. Walking and running easily fit days when you are traveling on the water. Enjoying the food and drink doesn't have to mean over eating.

This next article is a tough one. When do we give up the fight fight off life and accept the reality that death's door is at hand. I am all for a caring approach that honors life, but sees the reality that the body is dying. What I fear is the decision won't be based on respect for life and the benefit of a reasonable fight, but on cost and older people have lost their value. As you think on these things weigh in on the article.

Baby boomers we aren't as healthy as our parents. No surprise here. But can we change our ways? Mobility is very important.
