Just some brief notes of introduction on myself and what my intentions are for this blog.
I am a newspaper junkie. Every morning I read three newspapers delivered to our home. And aside from the election news which so recently had completely flooded the newspaper pages, I also devour any news of medical studies which are recently conducted.
I am a 62 years old woman, recently retired from my previous profession of software development. I am healthy and active. I see my doctors regularly for preventive health maintenance. One of my biggest priorities of life is to live healthily, both mentally and physically into my old age.
With the proliferation of internet usage, it has become very easy to access medical information on the net instantly. But the more abundant the information is, the more confusing it is to the average person. I am also amazed at how frequently new information on study results are becoming available in the newspapers.
But how is a person going to keep up with this onslaught of new information? even just to be alerted these results in a timely fashion. And since I am primarily interested in preserving my own health and therefore am most interested in health matters for my age group, I am starting this blog just to record what I gathered on a day-to-date basis and share that with other women in the same stage of life.
I am visualizing the infomation alerts here as blips of tips on health for women.
As I refer to studies from newspapers or other websites, I will provide the URLs to the original source. And if anyone wishes to receive these urls on an alert basis, she can leave a comment in the blog and I will automatically email her the links whenever a subject of interest comes up.
