I am 50+ with an active lifestyle, including walking, swimming and working out in our pool. I keep healthy and strong by eating well. I also shy away from processed foods, which is also a great help. Staying Healthy Over Fifty has been a quick and necessary life style change for us.

Two years ago, my husband had an emergency quadruple by-pass. This was both scary and eye opening for both of us. You see, he has been active for years, not only as a championship high school referee, but also as a bicyclist.

His plan was to ride from Portland, Oregon down the central coast of California, to Morro Bay.

But after his surgery, he was afraid he was going to have to give that plan up. We started focusing heavily on Staying Healthy Over Fifty.

He started exercising in the pool with me. Gradually working up his pace and time. Soon, he was riding his bike again. And when the next high school football season came around, he was a better referee than ever; AND was chosen to ref a championship game once again!

As part of the Staying Healthy Over Fifty was to look into supplements that could help us be strong, stay healthy and enjoy our family.
