The Senior Hood Struggling

About the Book

Hello, seniorhood. A large percentage of us are fighting to stay healthy and happy. In order to truly understand the fight for health, one has to be a part of the fight. Believe me, I am. I have found a way to be healthy and happy without stress. As you fold the pages back in this book, I hope the topics discussed will offer compassion and understanding; a time to look back for some, with a warm smile, motivation, and strength for all. The topics include diabetes, cardiovascular health and other health conditions, how eating correctly is important, and how illnesses do connect with healthy meal planning. Understanding sugars, sodium, fats, and cholesterol is also crucial. Do you understand how to read food labels? Read how a member of the seniorhood tries hard every day to turn the unhappy days around to happier ones in dealing with her illnesses. The majority of our conditions in health we share together. Are there correct and incorrect ways to eat with certain health conditions? The answers are available right inside this book. How extremely important and necessary is your medical staff? Depression in the elderly is very much alive.

We as seniors are battle fighters, so let us fight for health. We are strangers to one another, but not in our fight. Take what you read and mold it into a determination not to give up. These are our golden and silver years; they belong to us. No one else can feel what we feel or have the wonderful memories we have locked in our lives.

About the Author

My name is Diana Darrisaw. I hope we had the pleasure of meeting through my other books, Happy Healthy Seniors and Recipes and Meal Planning for Seniors. I am a retired patient-care food supervisor. Philadelphia is my home. My professional education from Penn State and Georgia State universities prepared me for twenty-five years as a nationally certified food supervisor. I obtained membership in DMA (Dietary Managers Association) and HFSS (Hospital Food Service Society), two excellent groups fighting for continuing excellence in food service for patient care. Having the chance to work in various healthcare facilities gave me the knowledge of how varied procedures can be, but the ending is the same. Food plays a large part in healthcare, and geriatric care is important and necessary. I am proud to be a part of the blocks that are being used to build a healthier tomorrow for all seniors. Proper medications along with a healthy meal planner are partners in making our days happy and healthy.
