Baby Boomers Health Issues

the latest findings from the Center for Disease Control suggest that perhaps 50% of the citizens of the United States aged 55-64 suffer from high blood pressure and overweight. Working in concert, these two issues are widely accepted as the cause for the spike in the number of stroke and cardiovascular disease victims. Furthermore, it is believed that the escalating cases of diabetes may be associated with these sources.

people who identify themselves as part of a generation of baby boomers should carefully consider their short-and long-term health. It is possible that the solution of these questions is not as complex as once believed. Increased exercise and diet consciousness has become a bigger part of the collective consciousness in order to overcome the baby boomers health problems.

Modern research suggests a link between increased cases of diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Apparently, the brain insulin supply decreases naturally over time and patients develop a damaging lack of insulin in the brain, apparently escalating the onset of Alzheimer's disease. As time passes, middle-aged people should be more proactive in promoting increased awareness of personal health, not only for their own benefit, but the solvency of American health care system.

Unfortunately, these problems are outside the United States. In Canada, many questions have begun to appear in relation to the overall health of boomers. People of our generation May actually be less healthy than those 30 years old or more, as an alarming rise in obesity is gripping the Baby Boomer population. Currently, 25% of senior citizens are overweight, as opposed to 33% obesity rate among baby boomers. Notably, tobacco use among boomers is more than double that of their older colleagues. Examination of diet, physical activity, and the amount of sleep is critical to these questions. Deteriorating health conditions among the boomers will come with a hefty price tag down the road.

Baby boomers will be retiring en masse in the coming years, and many plan to live many years after leaving their careers. Their future may be in danger if the issues faced are acknowledged and effectively addressed. Obesity is a significant point in mind as they may affect other aspects of a person's health. Increased training and expanding access to health care must be accompanied by a better choice in terms of food and food components. If you have more resources dedicated to the cause, cases of Alzheimer's disease, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and could expand dramatically.
