Older adults dismiss common symptoms of ailments that rarely cause problems when they are young, but could signal something more serious. Baby boomers are just too busy, and they don't take time to take care of themselves. With so many different over-the-counter preparations available these days, it's easy to overdose. And that can lead to serious trouble. Older adults believe that medical advances will eliminate most of the aging problems before they start to have them. Before starting a sports activity, do some sustained muscle stretching and three to five minutes of warmup with a jog or on a bike. Don't be a "weekend warrior" who plays hard only once or twice a week; include a half hour of regular exercise in a daily routine whenever possible. Don't overdo it. When it feels like time to stop an activity, it probably is.
