Boomers, Afraid You’ll End Up in a Nursing Home?
I know I am.
If you are middle-aged and have one or more major risk factors, you are at increased likelihood of entering a nursing home in the next 20 years. But baby boomers have an opportunity right now to alter their futures.
These are the risk factors:
cigarette smoking
physical inactivity
obesity
raised systolic blood pressure
diabetes
So, now you know what you have to do.

Rats, sounds like I need to see if I can reserve a private room!

At least we know how to take steps to avoid this, whether we do or not.

Long as I don’t forget the combination on my gun safe, I’ll never go!

Hmmm. I’ve just seen my whole life flash in front of me, framed by huge big cigarette rings… Damn.

I have a different plan. “Cheat the nursing home. Die on your Laser.”
