I found a great online resource the other day which I'd like to share with you:
"Amongst the myriad of health websites trying to be all things to all people, 50+Health is focused and exclusively for the 50+'s."
There's a shop selling books and other health products as well as articles and a discussion forum. The site's 'About' page continues...
"We are the children of the 60's. We were the first generation to be influenced by television and the first to gain sexual freedom through the availability of the pill. Now in our 50's, we, the first teenagers, are socially and professionally active, and we are refusing to grow old!"
"Being 50 today is very different to being 50+ in previous times. We have grown up with higher expectations than earlier generations: we were pioneers of a new age.
But despite our zest for life we are still subject to the same problems as our forebears. Health is perhaps the most significant obstacle to our continued enjoyment of a long life. It has become an essential concern both for ourselves and our parents. 50+Health provides us with the resources for taking control of our own health and for seeking solutions for the problems faced by our elderly parents.
50+Health's website offers a focus for 50+'s. It stimulates discussion. It offers alternatives. And, like the community it serves, it will constantly evolve and adapt itself, proving more and more useful as time goes by. Online feedback as well as contributions from its members and readers, will ensure 50+Health stays relevant, vital and useful to our generation.
'It's already an all empowering source of health information, tested products and inspiring lifestyle features' says Frans Robey, Managing Director. 'But it's going to be so much more - our readers will make certain of that I'm sure'.
50+Health is here to provide a focus for the continued empowerment of our generation."
