What Do "Rethinking Drinking" and "How to Improve Brain Function in Older Adults" Have in Common?

Interesting question up there, huh?

Here's the answer: Both topics are being addressed by medical researchers today because new information about better solutions for the future is available.

"Rethinking Drinking" is the title of a meeting taking place among National Institutes of Health researchers today. Other medical researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health are advising the public about "How to Improve Brain Function in Older Adults" in their press releases today.

About the bubbly: NIH doctors will answer some questions about holiday drinking in light of recent research regarding:

-- Who is at risk of negative outcomes from drinking and why?

-- Where does risk kick in?

-- Does at-risk drinking indicate that the drinker is an alcoholic?

-- How can holiday party guests and hosts recognize risky drinking patterns and prevent short- and long-term consequences of alcohol abuse?

For more information from The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the primary U.S. agency for conducting and supporting research on the causes, consequences, prevention, and treatment of alcohol abuse, alcoholism, and alcohol problems, see http://www.niaaa.nih.gov/.

I'm confident that we'll be

learning of their remarks

before New Year's weekend.

Now, on to full inclusion in society for all generations:

The Hopkins folks indicate that " Volunteer service, such as tutoring children, can help older adults delay or reverse declining brain function, according to a study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the researchers found that seniors participating in a youth mentoring program made gains in key brain regions that support cognitive abilities important to planning and organizing one's daily life. The study is the first of its kind to demonstrate that valuable social service programs, such as Experience Corps -- a program designed to both benefit children and older adults' health -- can have the added benefits of improving the cognitive abilities of older adults, enhancing their quality of life. The study is published in the December issue of the Journals of Gerontology: Medical Sciences.


"We found that participating in Experience Corps resulted in improvements in cognitive functioning and this was associated with significant changes in brain activation patterns," said lead investigator Michelle C. Carlson, PhD, associate professor in the Bloomberg School's Department of Mental Health and Center on Aging and Health. "Essentially the intervention improved brain and cognitive function in these older adults."

"As life expectancies increase, it's important, from a public health standpoint, to delay the onset of diseases associated with aging," said senior author Linda P. Fried, MD, MPH, dean of the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. "This study suggests that new kinds of roles for older adults in our aging society can be designed as a win-win, for addressing important societal needs, such as our children's success, and simultaneously the health and well-being of the older volunteers themselves."

OK, readers, you know what to do (even if you must make repeated efforts to succeed): Stock up on delicious, satisfying beverages that don't threaten to ruin or end lives, and seek creative opportunities for including every generation in fulfilling, enjoyable activities. EVERYONE involved can benefit from that!

I spent much of yesterday at a bloggers convention, learning new skills, connecting with some of my book & blog readers and enjoying live conversation. I arrived almost an hour early to beat the expected crush of people at the registration area.

WOW what a delight to share air space with people I'd only known in the cyberworld. I even met one of my news magazine editors there (she giggled "You arrived before deadline! As usual!") who shared some laughs and a seat with me.
You might be able to spot a weary redhead wearing a watch in one scene at this online coverage of the event. Yep, that's me (with a shorter hair style for the hot summer) after racing the clock to arrive early for registration before a big pack of people could obstruct the rapid progress I prefer to make at crowded events, then listening attentively to still another lecturer after a day of racing on foot through downtown streets and connections, climbing lots of staircases between educational sessions and pausing to chat with some fans and colleagues.

As soon as the relevant URL goes live, I'll post an online interview I did at the event, holding a hot-off-the-press poster of the EMPOWER Yourself E-book. If you like saving money, you'll enjoy the comments I made in that segment.

Participants expressed gratitude for my writings, quoted some lines from the book, and said that web magazines ought to pick up my content. People of all ages - senior citizens, members of AARP, children of various ages and their parents mentioned how helpful my content is and can be for a wide range of population groups from people with chronic illness to anyone facing a sense of shock at a new diagnosis.

You heard it from them, so to speak ;^ )

Yep, lots of solutions (including financial solutions) to many kinds of problems related to illness fill the pages of

For investors having trouble thinking about it all (control, savings and benefits are important issues, right?), consider coping with illness in terms of Tactics, Strategy versus Distribution, International Resources, Sustainability, Diversification, and so on.

Hmmm... now there are some thoughts that could be very good for your portfolio. And they're in EMPOWER Yourself to Cope with a Medical Challenge!

BTW, I'm switching ADSL companies today. I look forward to a smooth transition, and updating you as quickly as possible about photos of me at yesterday's blogger convention (such as the one above. GOSH I was zonked from a long day!). I just need a bit of time to adjust to the new equipment.
