Is memory loss always a part of aging? How much loss is considered normal? How much exercise do people over age 50 really need? Is osteoarthritis a part of aging, and is there a way to reduce risks, even after age 50? Do sleep needs change as we age? How much sleep do we need after age 50? What exactly is" preventive care, and what do you need after age 50? I see lots of vitamin supplements for the" golden years. Are they necessary? I just don't enjoy the things I used to, and I don't feel much like visiting friends or family. Is this part of aging?
