Thank you for stopping by Health Mature Aging. My name is Lori, I created this site because I was beginning to have health problems as I began to age and I wanted to know more about what was happening to me and what steps I could take to make positive changes in my health.
I will be blogging about what is happening with me, I find when I’m looking for imformaiton I prefer to read about real experiences not just medical information. That being said, I am not a Doctor nor any type of health professional. The information I’m sharing is based on my own experiences and my understanding of my own research.
If there is a topic that I’m not covering and you would like me to, please use the contact form and I will be glad to see what I can find out for you. I always believe if one person has a question it is likely that at least one other person has the same question too.
At the start of this blog I’m in my late 40’s and overweight, with a Morbidly Obese BMI – so there is room for improvement. I’m working on changing my eating habits, and to increase pyhsical activity into my daily routine. I also recently has to have my gall bladder removed and have had ongoing GI issues since that time.
My husband had Type 2 Diabetes as well as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, so these topics will likely come up too, since his health is a concern of mine too :).
Most of my research suggests that there is a lot that can be done to reverse many health conditions, now I just have to put these ideas into action.
We are also like many Americans and do not have health insurance. For my husband and I to have health insurance coverage it would be almost equal to our monthly mortgage payment – and that is still with a deductible of over $5,000, not what I really consider helpful. So we have to take charge of our own health issues.
