- Abstract:
  The article discusses the trend of compassionate self-care among elderly Americans to hold back the effects of aging in 2019. Topics covered include the conscious effort to stay active, to have a healthy lifestyle, and to manage aches and pains regularly, and lifestyle adjustments for those in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Also noted are these people's appreciation of massage therapy due its tactile feedback and enhancement of leg and feet activity.
