The practice has gone from a New Age experience to a Main Street phenomenon, with practically everyone from age 1 to 100 enjoying its benefits.

Although Millennials have overtaken the Baby Boomers as the largest generation alive, Boomers – the 77 million individuals born between 1945 and 1964 – are the generation that’s making the most difference in the world – at least when it comes to donating their time and efforts. “The Boomer generation is one of the most highly educated, worldly and active generations we’ve ever seen,” says Jake Quigley, Executive Director of Waterstone at the Circle. “They’ve lived through and initiated huge

7 Foods to Boost Your Heart and Brain Health

The idea of a “worry-free” retirement lifestyle is something that drives many seniors to make a move. It just makes sense: we do a lot of worrying in our life. As we get older, those worries can become realities. What happens if I get sick and I can’t get to a doctor? What happens if I’m unable to get around as much as I want?
