Get healthier!
Baby boomers are living longer than
their parents, but they're not as healthy as their moms and dads were.
More than half of boomers don't
exercise regularly—20 years ago, only 17 per cent of seniors were sedentary.
Today
only 13 per cent of boomers rate their health as "excellent,"
compared with 32 per cent of gray-hairs who said the same 20 years ago.
Medical advances mean longer life
expectancy for the boomer generation that's now turning 65 years old, but that
boon comes with greater incidence of chronic disease and poor health.
I'm one of the boomers. This is not
the way we thought the golden years would turn out for us.
