“Open-Heart Surgery survivor“. I am one of the lucky women who had doctors who believed that I was having pains in my heart. At 47 years old heavy breathing, excruciating pain in my chest, ‘unusual fatigue’ – all of that – did not resemble anything most of the doctors I saw would expect from a woman my age. This is the story of many a woman young and old.

When I walk, I take an essential oil ‘sniffer‘ with me (2 or 3 drops on a tissue). I am a certified aromatherapist/trainer for essential oils and I use my sense of smell with essential oils to provide me with the therapeutic benefits of relaxation, increased energy, and pain relief.
Walking gives me the benefits of increased energy, boosts my mood, provides relief from arthritis and helps increase my focus.
Do you know that there is recent research, which indicates walking helps our cognitive abilities?
Have you heard that loss of smell may indicate a decline in cognition?
When you have a moment, listen to my podcast on why smelling and walking is a good thing for senior citizens. Then make some ‘free’ time for yourself to move your body by using the video below.
