The theme is the power of positivity, recognizing the importance of joy in all our lives every single day.Research shows that socialization, positivity and joy can make a huge difference in our later years. Their annual survey asked adult sons and daughters about how they’re helping their aging parents embrace aging with a positive mindset.<br/><br/>They found that three quarters of adult children say it’s important to have a caregiving network to support their aging parents’ physical, emotional and social needs.<br/><br/>Comfort Keepers, says it’s not just about managing the challenges that come with aging, it's about embracing the possibilities and celebrating the positive changes that come with each passing day. Sherri Snelling, Comfort Keepers collaborator & gerontologist says we should also focus on making memories…whether it's sitting and watching a movie together, taking a joy ride around town or just video chatting, it’s important to have those connections where you’re having great conversations.

_heres-why-you-probably-feel-older-than-you-are.webp "How old do you feel? A new study has found Americans over 45 feel 12 years older than their actual age, on average. <br/><br/>The poll of 2,000 Americans aged 28 and older, split evenly by generation, found 55% of people who feel older than their actual age blame joint pain, and 45% have held back their daily lives because of it.<br/><br/>A majority of Americans (85%) experience some sort of joint pain, half of those don’t realize there is a direct correlation between increased muscle strength and reduced joint pain when in fact there is. Less than half (47%) feel optimistic about finding lasting relief.<br/><br/>Commissioned by Motive Health, Inc. and conducted by Talker Research, the study found that people who feel older than their actual age said it manifests through body pain (55%), getting tired easily (48%) and feeling overall less active (31%).<br/><br/>Forty-seven percent reported they didn’t feel their age — and 50% of Gen Xers and above felt particularly out of alignment with their actual age.<br/><br/>Half of baby boomers, 54% of the silent generation and 45% of Gen Xers said they all felt different than their actually age.<br/><br/>Baby Boomers felt an average of 14 years older while the Silent Generation respondents reported feeling 12 years older than their actual age and Gen Xers reported feeling 10 years older on average. <br/><br/>Missing out on daily life can be a challenge for those who feel as though joint pain is aging them — 71% will ignore joint pain so they can continue with their usual activities. <br/><br/>“Until they experience it, many people don’t realize the total impact joint pain can have on their lives,” commented Rob Morocco, President and CEO at Motive Health, Inc. “Losing your mobility and independence to joint pain can be frustrating and, without a doubt, make many people feel older than they are. The good news is, there’s technology that can reduce pain now and prevent it into the future, helping many people get back to feeling and living their best.”<br/><br/>The study also found nearly half (47%) of Americans won’t tell others when they’re in pain, fearing they will either think they’re too old or frail (19%), are making everything about themselves (18%) or that they’re overreacting (18%).<br/><br/>Forty-five percent have had to stop doing the things they love because of joint pain, and 23% have felt like they’ve let others down by missing personal or professional commitments due to joint pain. <br/><br/>Knee pain specifically impacts about 40% of Americans, many of whom have had to reconsider substantial lifestyle changes to accommodate their lack of mobility, including where they live (25%), where they work (22%) and how they travel (17%).<br/> <br/>From all demographics, nearly everyone (98%) said they would feel more positive about their future if they didn’t have knee pain. <br/><br/>More than half (54%) would be willing to change their diet and exercise to that while 52% reported a willingness to try physical therapy and at-home exercises. <br/><br/>Sixty percent reported a likelihood to incorporate new technology into their at-home wellness routine to treat joint pain.<br/><br/>“While joint pain can make people feel like their life is on pause, the great news is that there are ways to get moving again,” added Rob Morocco. “For example, research has found that building muscle strength is central to resolving joint pain. With that knowledge in hand, there are now solutions for people with joint pain that will help rebuild that muscle strength and get them back to living full, active lives.”<br/><br/>Survey methodology:<br/>This random double-opt-in survey of 2,000 American millennials and older was commissioned by Motive between May 14 and May 21, 2024. It was conducted by market research company Talker Research, whose team members are members of the Market Research Society (MRS) and the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR).")

_is-it-just-a-car-heres-why-americans-love-their-cars.webp "Nearly nine in 10 Americans still remember their first car — and 60% of them wish they could go back in time to take better care of it.<br/><br/>A poll of 2,000 U.S. drivers revealed just how dedicated people are to their cars and how dearly they miss what they first drove. Baby boomers (91%) and Gen Xers (89%) especially have a fondness for their first cars.<br/><br/>A clear connection was found between having nostalgia for one’s first car and the temperament of how drivers feel about their current car. Most drivers felt positive for what they currently drive — 38% said they love their current car, while 58% like their car and the utility it serves.<br/><br/>Nine in 10 (90%) “car lovers” were likely to remember their first cars and 71% of them said they would wind back the clock to what they first drove — more so than any other group.<br/><br/>Commissioned by Castrol and conducted by Talker Research, the survey showed “car lovers” were also found to be more likely to name their cars than “car likers” and “car dislikers” (49%, compared to 20% and 14%, respectively).<br/><br/>And over four in five (85%) who have given their car a name have also named “every single car” they’ve ever owned. Just as many said their car matches their personality to some varying degree.<br/><br/>Those who named their car said their car earned its name through its personality (37%), the make and model (29%) or how it performs (21%).<br/><br/>“Car lovers” also have maintenance performed on their vehicles more frequently than needed (29%), are more likely to immediately address warning light issues (38%) and park under shade whenever it’s available (27%) than those who aren’t as passionate as them.<br/><br/>These “car lovers” express their love for their car by giving it regular maintenance (69%), getting it washed and waxed (60%) or taking it out for a leisure drive (45%).<br/>“Cars are more than just vehicles, they give personal freedom and connect people to the world,” said Fabiana Neves, Vice President, Castrol Americas Marketing. “Because of that, there’s an importance people recognize to treat their cars almost as well as they would treat themselves.”<br/><br/>The study of drivers also found 92% believe it’s important to regularly maintain their car, though only a fifth of drivers (18%) have maintenance done to their cars more often than what is recommended. Most (70%) claimed to have maintenance done just as often as is recommended. <br/><br/>Respondents said the most important types of car maintenance to have done are oil changes (75%), tune-ups (40%), tire rotation (35%) and transmission fluid changes (32%). <br/><br/>One in four specified they prefer to change their own oil — while the majority (70%) would rather let the pros do it for them.<br/><br/>To keep their car running smoothly, respondents said they check their oil levels regularly (64%), replace any broken-down parts when they occur (59%) and have the vehicle looked at as soon as the problem results in a suspicious noise (51%).<br/><br/>People also said they determine when it’s time to have their vehicle’s oil changed based on: the number of miles since its last change (68%), when they’re planning a large stint of driving (23%) and how the vehicle feels and performs when running (20%). <br/><br/>“While most people know why their cars need basic maintenance just to run, there’s a clear connection between having a stronger appreciation for vehicles and those vehicles lasting longer and having better performance,” continued Fabiana Neves. “Just like any relationship, when we put in more care and attention to our vehicles, we get the direct benefit of having a vehicle that’s reliable, fun to drive, and gives us that sense of companionship that many might already relate to their first cars.”<br/><br/>TOP 7 WAYS TO SHOW YOUR CAR SOME LOVE<br/>- Give it regular maintenance - 69%<br/>- Have its oil changed - 65%<br/>- Get it washed and waxed - 60%<br/>- Take it out for a leisure drive - 45%<br/>- Get it detailed - 39%<br/>- Decorate it - 24%<br/>- Show it off for friends - 21%<br/><br/>Survey methodology:<br/>This random double-opt-in survey of 2,000 American car owners was commissioned by Castrol between Mar. 19 and Mar. 25, 2024. It was conducted by market research company Talker Research, whose team members are members of the Market Research Society (MRS) and the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR).")
