Honey has numerous benefits for everyone, from children (excluding infants) to the echo-boomers to the retirement boomers, and booming seniors. It is not a mere sweetener or substitute for sugar; it is a proven remedy that can help to treat ulcers, dandruff, and diseases related to respiration and eczema. It’s easy to see why throughout time this natural sweetener has been cherished by both allopathic and homeopathic doctors.

As psychological articles and research attest, there is much modern evidence to justify the great regard for the therapeutic aspects of honey. It is a known and proven fact that honey is useful in preventing the growth of certain viruses, bacteria, and fungi, and honey can efficiently handle the job of maintaining optimal blood sugar levels in theretirement boomers.

Many elderly problems can be resolved or curtailed by the use of this miracle substance. One of the most important advantages of consuming honey lies in its anti-oxidant properties. Therefore, substituting honey for other sweeteners can be extremely useful in helping aging boomers remain in peak health.

The retirement boomers who fought in wars have some firsthand experience with the healing property of honey. When used as a topical antiseptic, it can treat first degree burns, ulcers, and minor cuts. Psychological articles have also reported that common elderly problems such as constipation, high cholesterol levels and unregulated blood pressure show an excellent favorable response in baby boomers who are ingesting honey.

Additionally, honey has been known to help with a hugeretirement boomersproblem: insomnia! As it raises blood pressure levels, it leads to a slight increase in insulin levels which triggers hormones in the brain that causes one to relax and get a good night’s sleep. A tablespoon before going to bed could really help people with depression and related sleep disorders.

Here is another one! We retirement boomers are fond of traveling. This may take us to places like a beach hut on the Caribbean or some exotic jungle in Malaysia. Sure enough, we are going to be easy targets for insect bites. The solution? A paste of honey and cinnamon. Yes, keep one handy and as soon as you feel the dreaded sting and itch just rub some onto the affected area. You will see the swelling and redness recede right in front of your eyes!

Arthritis is one of the most common elderly problems. Here is another way honey can help. Take a cup of water and add honey and cinnamon in a 2:1 proportion. Drink it in the mornings or before going to bed.

And if any of you baby boomers are experiencing coughing episodes, taking a teaspoon of honey with a light sprinkling of black pepper can do wonders to provide relief.

I could probably go on and on relating the many ways honey can be the new best friend for retirement boomers in helping us with our elderly problems, but I guess you get my point! Keep a good supply of honey nearby. You never know when you might need some.

My favorite honey remedy is to put a teaspoon into my chamomile tea before I go to sleep. Do you have a favorite? Come let us know at Boomeryearbook.

Retirement Boomers: Their Impact on the US Economy

Karen Turner — Sat, 02 Sep 2023 08:31:01 +0000

Baby boomers were the most prosperous generation in all of history. We had the highest collective annual spending power. However, it does appear that many of us have spent more than we have saved. Much of our money has been used to find the proverbial fountain of youth, as we boomers seem obsessed with keeping ourselves forever young. While we might have been prosperous and while many of us still are, we are also, whether you want to face it or not a “threat” to the US economy. Psychological articles and sociologists observe that we boomers of the population of America that is 60 and over (fast becoming retirement boomers I suppose) are the most obese, and the most drug abusing.

Many may call this a gross exaggeration but most of us grew up partying, dabbling in drugs, attending political protests, engaging in sexual freedom and experimentations, calling the shots and “ruling the world”. The problem is that too many of us now aging boomers haven’t grown out of the 60s and we are having a negative impact on the US Economy.” People assumed that with age, we boomers would calm down. However, many of us haven’t and thus, speaking from a purely economical standpoint, are looked at as somewhat of a burden. Over 76% of Americans above the age of 50 plan to work through their retirement years mostly because they have to. In spite of this, retirement boomers constitute a problem.

The nearly 78 million baby boomers in the US alone will soon become, if they haven’t already, retirement boomers. The government calls us a “national challenge”. I guess it’s because everybody’s wondering how many tax payer’s dollars will be needed to support all the government programs aimed to helping retirement boomers. (i.e., Social Security, Medicare, etc). Already, many of us can’t afford to retire because Social Security is facing shortages meaning lower benefits for those of us who retire early.

Economists predict a serious problem. Fifteen percent of today’s labor force consists of the defined baby boomers above the age of 55. What happens when we retire? The current tight labor market situation will be aggravated. And, putting all this in the perspective of the global economic recession, things look bleak indeed. The pundits are telling us that private savings are the lowest since the Great Depression, and the ominous age-wave theory predicts a looming economic slowdown as we become retirement boomers.

Many psychological articles on elderly problems say there will be a sort of generational warfare. Why? … because of the fact that there will be less people putting money into the system and more people deriving benefits from that system. But most of us boomers don’t want to look at ourselves as some undeserving burdensome “old person” soaking up the country’s money and resources. After all, didn’t we pay taxes and act as responsible citizens throughout our lives? There is the common misconception that retirement boomers never think of themselves as old and/or economically burdensome. Like most things in life, this is a gray area. Many boomers do recognize the realities of our age and the associated responsibilities, while other retirement boomers seem to be in denial. The boomers in denial may well leave an unjustifiable economic burden on echo boomers (children of baby boomers) and scores of younger generations that will follow.
