[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]and not to shame people, but the health needs/demands of elderly who grew up with a fully American diet, activity level, etc. is really, really different than your average Asian elder. [/quote] My parents ate super healthy and got plenty of exercise. Alzheimers is a beast and the health demands were/are excruciating between the behavioral issues and personality changes, motor planning issues and falls and then the long slow awful decline into total dependence.[/quote] I think that generation didn’t exercise the way it is promoted now. My 60-something Asian mom scolds me for strength training saying that “your skin will start hanging” and she doesn’t even want me to climb stairs. If all your parents did was walk and tai tai, that’s not enough. [/quote]
