Sickness seems a frequent visitor for the senior and the elderly

Do you find your mouth dry? You drink and you drink yet the dryness seems to last. . . You walk one day and then something just "clicks" and your hips feels very painful as you try to straighten and move. Eyes just cannot seem to focus and look at things clearly. A kind of "film" seems to cover your eyesight, a pair of glasses is a must. As you go up an incline. it is enough to hasten your breath and to think it is only a matter of a mile or so. When someone makes noise, it is enough to destroy your sanity. The weather also bugs us down. It is too hot or too cold. We cannot help but say sickness seems a frequent visitor for the senior and the elderly.

So is there any tip we can share to those who are feeling one or the other or all of the above if only to lighten the load? Anyone???
