Perfect length Nordic Ski Walking poles help us to automatically walk with a super straight back - better walking posture is biomechanically a good thing. This improved walking posture when combined with the unique 4-Wheel-Drive type action of walking with poles radically reduces the stress to the shins, knees, hips and back. Nordic Walking is low impact and yet provides a highly effective workout - burning more calories and working more muscle groups than regular walking. (PRWeb Mar 15, 2010)

Dementia is a general term for the loss of cognitive abilities, which can include memory, speech, use of limbs and the ability to make sound judgments. The 2009 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures Report by the Alzheimer’s Association estimates that 1 in 8 Americans over age 65, or more than 5.3 million people, are living with some symptoms of dementia. In nursing homes, about half the patients experience some dementia, and in hospice care, about 10% of the patients have a primary diagnosis of dementia. As the first Baby Boomers reach retirement age in 2011, their risk of developing dementia will more than double every ten years. For family and friends, that means a greatly increased chance of becoming the caregiver for a loved one with dementia. (PRWeb Mar 14, 2010)
