Jane Brody's Personal Health column in June 24th edition of The New York Times included an excerpt from our issue brief, Growing Older, Straying Strong: Preventing Sarcopenia Through Strength Training. The article, entitled Fit, Not Frail: Exercise as a Tonic for Aging, quotes issue brief author Michael J.Hewitt, Ph.D., and research director for exercise science at Canyon Ranch Health Resort. Hewitt shows how older people can stave off the muscle-wasting condition known as sarcopenia by doing strengh-training exercises as little as twice a week. Sarcopenia is a significant yet overlooked problem in the older population. Analogous to the loss of bone mass commonly known as osteoporosis, sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass,which results in the loss of strength. Sarcopenia puts older persons at risk of sustaining a fall or simply being unable to care for themselves. Ultimately, this may require nursing home care.Brody outlined Hewitt's simple and compact Key 3® program, which can be completed in ten minutes using hand-held weights in one’s home. Key 3® is detailed and illustrated in our free, downloadable issue brief. The New York Times article has proven to be a favorite among readers, remaining the "most emailed" article in the health section, and the third "most blogged about" almost a week after publication.

In the third of our “Ask the Doctor” video interviews, ILC-CEO Robert N. Butler, M.D. talks about what happens when elders and/or their caregivers must make tough decisions as to what life-prolonging measures, if any, they want taken when faced with a life-threatening situation. Dr. Butler says that the decision as to when one dies should, under ideal conditions, be a mutual one between the individual, his or her doctor, and the family.
And, fortunately that's what actually happens about 70% of the time. But in some situations, an individual may not have an advance directive and/or health proxy in place. To avoid uncertainty, he says, try to ensure that your estate has defined the terms as to exactly what you would want to happen, and under what circumstances.
Watch the video to hear Dr. Butler’s full take on the subject. And don’t miss him sounding off on Human Growth Hormone (HGH), and drinking, in our other “Ask the Doctor” video interviews.Read MoreArticle Tools:
