LONG NOTES:

AARP -Sex after 50-People in their 20s are having less sex now than ever before, studies show, so it’s possible that you’re as active, or more so, as the average millennial. About a third of us are getting busy several times a week, one survey found. 91 percent of men and 86 percent of women in their 50s report being sexually active. Sex boosts our immune systems, improves self-esteem, decreases depression and anxiety, relieves pain, encourages sleep, reduces stress and increases heart health. Take these steps to revitalize your sex life.

1. CONNECT EMOTIONALLY 2. ADDRESS VAGINAL DRYNESS 3. EMPHASIZE FOREPLAY 4. DON’T LET ED KEEP YOU DOWN 6. CONSIDER ESTROGEN 7. THINK ABOUT LASERS

A treatment called fractional laser therapy can help reduce vaginal dryness without estrogen. It works like this: A laser creates tiny superficial burns in the vaginal canal. As the area heals, this leads to fresher collagen development and increased blood supply, which makes the area more elastic and responsive, Kavaler explains. (She cautions against vaginal rejuvenation surgery, which is a cosmetic procedure: “It can reduce sensitivity in the area and can make orgasms even more difficult to achieve or, in some cases, sexual intercourse permanently painful.”)

8. CONFRONT INCONTINENCE ISSUES

In a national poll of more than 1,000 women, nearly half of those over age 50 reported bladder leakage during sex. The primary reason: Sexual stimulation puts pressure on the bladder and urethra. If you’re hoping to get lucky in the hours ahead, avoid consuming beverages or foods with caffeine, such as coffee and chocolate; caffeine stimulates the bladder and acts as a diuretic (citrus fruits and juices are diuretics, too). Men whose prostates have been removed can also experience incontinence during sex. This condition, known as climacturia, can be treated in a number of surgical and nonsurgical ways. Plus, medications such as Ditropan and Vesicare can decrease urination frequency.

9. TURN DOWN TESTOSTERONE

Glycerate from intestinal fructose metabolism induces islet cell damage and glucose intolerance

Men with higher intake of dairy foods, but not nondairy calcium, had a 62% higher risk of incident prostate cancer compared with men having lower intakes.

AARP Arthritis pain relief- 1. Stay physically active 2. Maintain a healthy weight 3. Clean up your diet 4. Stay hydrated 5. Manage your pain ice after exercise and a compression. If it persists, over-the-counter anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen and naproxen) and pain relievers (acetaminophen).

AARP varicose veins- Excess weight, family history, and prolonged sitting or standing increase a person’s risk for developing varicose veins. So can age. Elevating the legs, avoiding prolonged standing, and wearing compression stockings to keep the blood moving can provide relief from symptoms and might even prevent them from getting worse.
