Preventing bone loss is very >important in the elderly. The number of preventable things that can be done diminishes as you get older. Preventing a broken hip is also fixing the creaky joints so that the person doesn't trip and break things. Yet there is a waiting line for hip replacement because it is an elective operation and not one that is needed by patient because he/she isn't sick enough. Fixing the joint so a person can keep his balance is mess prevention. Fixing the bone loss is something that happens way after the person stops walking and jarring the bones. /BAH

Do explain what you mean. I did; I tried. The conclusions of the study were that people didn't have financial problems after retirement. It did not show that people had to reduce their styles of living at least several levels because the income was not enough. /BAH

I dare say you can find it but I'm not very keen on especially hot food so I woundn't bother myself. Also bear in mind that the food available will tend to reflect the immigrant population and I'm not aware of many Mexicans here ! Much Spanish food is similar of course. Graham |
