Elysse, I recommend having him attend Taiji Chuan classes for health benefits. Whether in the modern or ancient sense, it is a fountain of youth.
 
In slightly less modern cultures, age was synonymous with strength, wisdom, and authority. Thus the older generation had a responsibility and duty to look out for the younger generation, since they will be replaced by them sooner or later.

I’m beginning to realize an inexorable truth — the aging process is inevitable.  We can’t stop it, although we can slow it down.  The best thing we can do is come up with a philosophy that makes aging acceptable, rather than horrible.

If you come up with such a philosophy, please let me know, because mine is still a work in progress.  ;)

But I know it’s going to be difficult. Last year my husband had his first bout with gout and it was extremely painful. It started with his big toe, and now his wrist and fingers are acting up too. His bones are not as strong as before, as little things can injure him already. I also had my health scare when some signs of Parkinson’s disease are showing. My mom and grandmother also had it, so we’re trying everything to prevent it. I’m taking all the supplements I can take, Vit. E, fish oil, vit. C, B complex and CoQ-10. Oh well, I hope that the year 2013 will be kinder to us. It’s also my resolution to find specialists for us. Happy new year!

The last time I went to the doctor, which thankfully was a good while ago, he asked me how I was doing.  In reply, I said, “Well, the good news is that everything seems to be working. The bad news is that nothing seems to be working like it use to.”
