The National Institute on Aging (NIA), a component of the National Institutes of Health, now offers two free booklets designed to help people with limited literacy skills learn about Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and memory loss. In these easy-to-read booklets, the medical and technical language has been replaced by plain language, stories, photographs, and other features to help readers understand the content. “Our goal was to produce strong, clear materials to make information about AD and memory loss accessible to everyone, including those with limited literacy skills,” says Richard J. Hodes, M.D., director of the NIA. “These booklets also are excellent starting points for anyone who needs basic information about AD and memory problems, regardless of reading capability.” They are valuable additions to the comprehensive collection of health education materials available from NIA’s Alzheimer’s Disease Education and Referral (ADEAR) Center, adds Hodes.

While not exactly about aging, it is about a product I just love. This has been sitting in my inbox for a few days and I just saw it and wanted to share it with you.

I was gifted with the Olive Oil body butter some years ago…and I’ve never looked back. It feels soooo good on my skin. It’s rare that I find a product I really love on sale…you can bet I’m getting some!

We all are aware of the fact that “seniors” get discounts. Your local restaurant gives discounts at a certain age, some stores will offer you discounts on certain days, and occasionally you’ll get a coupon in the mail that entitles you to some product or event for a deep discount, and event for free.

I ran across this book that has gathered lots of information that shows you how to get things for free. Some examples include how to get free dental care, free foods, free legal help, free eye care, how to earn money when traveling and more.

Definitely check it out - Free For Seniors.
