Food insecurity among seniors has more than doubled in the past 20 years, with rising costs, chronic health issues, and lack of transportation making it harder for older adults to access nutritious food. This not only affects their physical health but also their mental well-being and quality of life. Programs like food pantries and SNAP can help, but many seniors struggle to find and access these resources. Outreach efforts are key in connecting those in need with support.

Shoulder arthritis affects 1 in 3 Americans over 60, causing pain and limiting mobility in everyday tasks. While there’s no cure, advancements in treatment are offering new hope. From physical therapy and medications to minimally invasive surgeries like reverse shoulder replacement, there are ways to manage pain and improve function. Understanding risk factors like genetics, trauma, and age is key, and ongoing research may one day provide even more solutions for restoring cartilage.
