Intergenerational Interaction Benefits

Working across generations brings us together – to share our strengths and improve the world we share. We think you’ll get a lot of value out of intergenerational volunteering.

Last month, I had cataract surgery and while it’s been a smooth experience, I’ve been learning to take care of my vision. In my own research, I’ve found the perfect things to protect my eyes.

And, if you want to learn about famous caregivers who have been there, too, we have a few profiles for you to read.

Winter Reading

Isn’t winter the perfect time for reading? When it’s cold or snowy outside, you can snuggle up under a blanket and get lost in a good book. Reading is so good for us! Discover three fun new books that we loved and grab the perfect items to get you comfy. And don’t miss the Holiday Gift Guide!

Caring for the Caregiver

Many of us may be called on to be a caregiver in our Third Age. Much like we have to do on a plane, we have to take care ourselves first. Learn how to take care of yourself and your loved one in The Art of Caregiving. And stay relaxed and stress-free with the gear you need to be your best caregiver yet. You’re here for others, and we’re here for you.

Your Best Holiday Season Yet

How about making this holiday season your best one yet? Volunteering can be a perfect way to do that! Bridge the generational gap, meet new friends, and help others with a volunteer opportunity near you. Plus, learn the best way to provide joy to little ones with great toys!

Healthy and Happy Holidays

Our eating habits are crucial to maintaining a strong, healthy Third Age. Eating healthy can be delicious and fun. Meet my new favorite cookbook that does just that – The Well-Plated Cookbook. To help you along your quest for healthy eating, we’ve got our 7 favorite cooking tools. And if you want a little inspiration, check out our profile on the original lifestyle guru Martha Stewart.

Explore Therapy and Other Gifts

The season to be jolly is upon us, but what if you don’t feel that jolly? My own Medicare Advantage plan covers valuable therapy options for me! If you think you would benefit from some self-discovery, we’ve got a great article that covers Medicare and therapy.

Plus, we’ve put together our favorite holiday gifts for this year’s special season!

Support Your Healthy and Happy Third Age

It is our responsibility to keep ourselves in shape – mind, body, and spirit. There are so many resources out there and I love the newest one I just found – Healthy Aging Magazine. It’s chock-full of resources to try new things and bring all the things we’ve learned. Plus, put that into practice with our 25 favorite Amazon buys!

Want to live a happier, longer life? How we age can come down to the power of positive thinking. Learn how you can make small tweaks to help you age better with The Positive Shift. Shift your thoughts to improve your happiness and your health. Plus, grab our favorite tools to stay healthy this cold and flu season, including PureXanthan!

It’s always better when we’re together

Life can be overwhelming, but we can be creative in helping each other. We explore the Friendship Bench initiative and how it has grown beyond Zimbabwe. Studies show that social relationships can improve our physical health in our older adulthood, so let’s go back to the table while we share our favorite community games.

Get Golfing at Third Age Mojo

Golf is the perfect sport for Third Agers! In fact, age is less of a factor for professional golfers like Phil Mickelson. If you want to fix your own game, we love this book of self-assessments and tips for your swing. Plus, grab the secret weapons you need to enjoy your golf game even more.

Change Your Mindset to Change Your Life

It’s a proven scientific fact that healthy aging can come down to how we think about aging. Dr. Becca Levy discusses this in a Forever 35 interview and her book Breaking the Age Code. If you’re wanting to improve your own mindset, meditation might be the key for you. We’ve got some of my favorite meditation tools to get started without the overwhelm.

How many forks in the road have you taken throughout your life? These big decisions can’t be taken lightly. What if you had a Tribe of Mentors to guide you? Tim Ferriss gave us just that. And, work on getting the CDC recommended 150 minutes per week of activity in the most fun way with these products.
