But it also carries various drawbacks, not the least of which is the nearly inescapable specter of osteoarthritis, which almost 85% of people over 65 will experience. About 25% of adults experience arthritis or arthritic changes, sometimes as early as the late teen years, depending on the level and type of activity they engage in.
What is Osteoarthritis?

As muscles go, the human heart is one of the most vital for health. No vacations for this workhorse muscle system! Unlike other muscles that take breaks when not in use, like legs, such as legs when a person is lying down, the heart never stops pumping. Not only is the work of the heart unceasing, but it is also critically important. Other movements can be managed with co-occurring tendons or outside supports: not the heart. The heart must circulate blood constantly and consistently to maintain well-being. Blood flows from the heart, delivering oxygen and nutrients.
Heart health, therefore, i ..read more

In the post-COVID world, respiratory health has taken a new turn in the spotlight, particularly for older adults. The National Institute of Health (NIH) estimates that over 15 million Americans have COPD, with more adults being diagnosed every day.
The disease isn't curable, but it is treatable. In the past, COPD often sounded like a dark harbinger of decreased activity and enjoyment of life. With treatments, however, this doesn't have to be the case. In addition to Western medical interventions for COPD, acupuncture can be used to reduce symptoms, preserve lung function, and prevent the dise ..read more

Autoimmune disorders are one of the more rapidly growing diagnoses in the US. This classification of ailments does damage when the person's immune system overreacts and begins to attack healthy tissue. These diseases can range from skin issues, such as psoriasis, to damage to the brain and nerves with multiple sclerosis. Perhaps more challenging, autoimmune diseases are difficult to heal or cure, and most patients instead work to reduce the severity or frequency of their symptoms.
Some of this management involves lifestyle changes: eating nutritious food, practicing good sleep hygiene, and ma ..read more

Preventative care isn't a new idea; it often includes a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and wellness checkups at a medical doctor's office.
There is another way to look at preventative care that can be used side-by-side with Western recommendations. Acupunc ..read more
