The effect wasn’t about single friendships but about consistent connections across decades.

Surprising study finds this workout adds 10 years to your life – and it’s not running or weight training
While you probably know that running can reduce all-cause mortality by improving your cardiovascular health, and weight training can do so by preserving muscle mass, and metabolic and bone health, science shows they’re not quite as effective as another form of movement when it comes to living a long and healthy life: tennis.

This Seniors Month, let's talk about staying safe. Grandparent scams are targeting our older adults. Awareness is your best defense.
How It Works:
Scammers call claiming to be a grandchild in legal trouble, asking for urgent money via wire transfer, crypto or gift cards. They pressure you to keep it secret.
Don't Fall for It:
• Hang up and verify – Call your grandchild directly to confirm the story
• Ask questions – If they say "It's me," ask which grandchild is calling
• Set a family password – Agree on a code word for real emergencies
• Never rush – Legitimate agencies don't send couriers for cash payments
• Never send money - Lawyers and police don't collect money this way
If something feels off, it probably is. Trust your instincts and reach out to family or authorities. Stay informed. Stay safe. Protect what matters.
