Baby Boomers Need Social Media

The Tsunami of old age is going to going to come crashing through very soon. What is the world going to do with nearly 80 million baby boomers?

Geriatrician Dr. Phil Wood says baby boomers can be proactive by taking measures to enjoy life well into the golden years. Boomers can do this by remembering that whatever is good for the heart is good for the brain, so fruit and vegetables should form part of a healthy diet and the more colorful the fruit and vegetables, the better.

He also adds baby boomers should be active in the social networks to stimulate their brain activity. The use of brain and exercise together are very important.

Start blogging, join a community forum, get active on Facebook and/or Twitter.

In other words, use your retiring years to remain active, increase your social networks and eat sensibly.

The use of brain and exercise together are very important.

We've heard that the largest growing segment of Facebook users is women who are middle-aged and above. If they use nothing else, FB is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family.
