Tech Tips for living to 100 and enjoy life while you are there


This week was an interesting, if you want to reflect on the lives of 100. Evercare Evercare of 2009 offered 100 @ 100 Survey - the results of the survey of college seniors included. Dr. Judith Rich was in the Huffington Post by the question "Would you like to live, published in 100 years?" At both surveys, the built in comparison with the lives of centenarians. Actually, the Foundation for Healthy Aging, "The Born in 1899, born of the opportunities of life to 100 and 400 to 1, but for those who, in 1980, significantly the probability to 87 to 1 improvement.

If the old ones from like planets more space? Mr. Rich noted that in 2030 to 84% of 65 + completed high school and 24% have a bachelor's degree compared to 15% with a college degree today. She noted that centenarians tomorrow very comfortable with smart phones, internet and everything around him to allow them access to information - even as a very demanding consumer of health care. She fears that the world can not accommodate all that it "calls Geezerdom" and that it may be logical that the old and voluntarily "out of the way" to help would make room for all.

Evercare's "articulate well and to" 100 years are now so busy in life. Who would have thought that half of the centenarians with Wii Fit Ninetendo's, 21 percent go online to use e-mail, 10 percent weekly, and 5 percent are familiar television, 4 percent of music downloads, 3 percent use Twitter, and 2 percent want not an iPod, if stranded on a desert island. Half are walks and hikes, more than half of game shows to see, and read 77%, to promote their minds. Both the College and the elderly centenarians you talk with your family and friends manage stress, too. Instead, worry about our future, 63% reported in 100 years that they "do something to help others," as reported, a secondary stress, while 78% of college seniors that they "use me time to emphasize to . Manage

The column by Judith Rich offers tips to prolong your life. She cites to a long list of broad consultation, as you extend your life to laugh (15 minutes per day, not to smoke, with a positive outlook add years). But do not keep this list on the community in relation to something to help others stay on the world the latest news and events, or to remain with the aid of a computer to the family in touch. Remember that the respondents already Evercare 100 years - and this is a surprisingly large number of them. Perhaps, if we want to live till 100 years, we should imitate them. This is a tech blog - here is my rotation:

Do you have a computer. I still hear that tired line for vendors, the (non-exclusive PC) products that are 65 + people confused by computers - which is why their product is not installed on a PC. It is particularly ironic for me that suppliers of telemedicine people with expertise in the home of 65 years to send the install surveillance units, trained on the use of these products, but the PC is simply too overwhelming a flat platform. Enough. Ignoring the communication needs of your "patients" by giving them disposable devices is politely express indifference. Telehealth nurses say that patients such as monitoring, because it shows that someone cares. Imagine their excitement when someone showed them how to use a touch screen for e-mail use, she sent some e-mail and showed them how to join an online community for PatientsLikeMe?

Stay up to date - new and fresh ideas. Despite my love to distribute them, we probably will not read newspapers, paper too long - too difficult to buy, too expensive and too difficult to read to discard when you are finished. But even if you still think they can still an automatic e-mail streams from newspaper companies set to take Google Alerts for topics that interest you and what's what in the world trends and ideas .

Exercise - both physical and brain. It does not matter what you do as long as you push off, you let your heart and give your bones enough to prevent stress on dilution. If your residence is Wii Fit, so be it. And give your brain while you're at it - all to stimulation, including the training your brain, your driving skills, or hold something to learn. See updates.

Buy smart phones - and provided they keep charged. Needless to lose our way up to 100 years could be - you have a BlackBerry or iPhone that you mobile access to e-mail, but you can be directed with directions to find a restaurant or gas station, discuss with your children and grandchildren even with the phone to call 911 in an emergency. They are useless if the battery is empty, so used to maintain a lifestyle of early intervention - the on the computer. There is a computer.

Are you like-minded communities. The "life coaching" column in Mr. Rich said that the church adds 3 years to go to a regular life expectancy. When we pointed out that the advice is to find "colleagues" - in person, online, by phone - the confrontation with another of the key extended. If we are like 50% over 65 years, we now have 2 chronic diseases - more importantly, people who understand how they can best manage. View stay informed, you can have a smart phone, a computer.

Online viewing of medical services. Since we are at 100, there is no reason to feel trapped in the house, unable to access medical advice. We subscribe to online services (telephone, e-mail visits, virtual) from companies such as American TelaDoc, property, or a Live Nurse Jitterbug phone.
