Hair loss, or male pattern baldness is one of the early visible signs of aging in men.

There are several different approaches men take to try to combat the problem, including the totally ineffective and often laughable comb over, but there are only 3 effective solutions.

1. A hair transplant. Incredibly expensive (think $25,000 plus) and yet very often ineffective. Not to mention that as your hair loss progresses, the gap between your original and transplant hairlines grows until you need another one!
2. Start shaving your head. This can be a great solution if you have the right shaped head. Some people like the look, others don't. And it does mean an addition to your daily shave.
3. Regrow your hair. For this to work, you need a product that treats the root cause of the problem and to do this, there's only one product that I can recommend.

You may have seen the 20 exercise routine for seniors that I posted in Senior Exercise Routine: Videos 1 – 10 and Senior Exercise Routine: Videos 11 – 20 and perhaps even Sex and Seniors: The Hidden Truth which encourages sex as an exercise in itself, as well as having many other benefits.

HIIT stands for high intensity interval training and it has sky-rocketed in popularity among millions of people.

You'll often see them in the park working out with ropes, boxing gloves and fast body weight exercises. In the past, the general idea was that running in the park or on the treadmills for hours was the way to go when it came to losing weight.

Your skin is a clear indicator of your age.

If you ask someone to guess your age, it’s your skin that they’ll look at first to make their estimate.

Skin that looks like crepe paper, so called liver spots, sun damage, wrinkles and just generally unhealthy looking skin will all make you look older.

You never want any of those awkward moments when someone assumes your daughter is your granddaughter or your grandfather is your brother.

Sex  and Seniors: What's Normal?

First of all, you should be aware that an active sex life is one of the most effective anti-aging treatments available.

It releases all sorts of hormones into your body that increase muscular strength, promote glowing skin and generally make you feel good.

(Just don't have a cigarette afterwards.)

Research into seniors and sex included in the New England Journal of Medicine surveyed 3,005 men and women in the United States between the ages of 57 and 85.

These were their results:

Middle Age and Weight Loss Go Hand in Hand 

On her twelfth birthday, a friend of mine realized that she was middle aged and severely overweight.

OK, her birthday was the 29th of February, so while it was her twelfth birthday, she was actually 48 years of age.

And I say that middle age and weight loss go hand in hand because so many people reach this milestone in their lives seriously overweight or even obese.

If you find yourself in that situation, it's essential that you do something about it before it's too late.

Two somethings in fact.

In a previous post, we covered Anti-Aging Foods for Seniors. Anti-Aging Foods for Women is slightly different. Women's metabolism is different and so their dietary requirements are also different.

Some of the top anti-aging foods for women are:

• Unflavored, unsweetened plain Greek yogurt
• Mushrooms
• Watermelon
• Dark chocolate (yum)
• Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries
• Fiber-rich grains
• Oatmeal
• Honey
• Green tea
• Pomegranates
• Sesame seeds
• Broccoli
• Fermented foods
• Olive oil
• Red wine

Fresh vegetables and fresh fruit are an essential part of anti-aging foods for women.

Processing and preservatives are the enemy. Natural food sources contain anti-aging properties and are a major store of nutrients that rejuvenate tissue and dead cells in your body. They strengthen organs and prevent the onset of premature aging.

First of all, a bit about me.

As of today, the end of 2018 and the start of 2019, I find myself in my 75th year. Those of you who are pedantic will realize that means I am 74 years old.

I'm not your average septuagenarian.
