Posted on by Dr. Toni

Someone sent this to me with no author – it’s from a no-name type of blog..
But, I thought it was worth sharing..

Recently, Parade Magazine did some great research on aging and Health in America. I’d like to summarize some of their results.

The told us that the main concern about growing older is declining health while financial concerns took a close second (this was written before the financial crunch hit our economy.
