If you are planning ahead for a parent, friend, or yourself, consider the importance of a will, Advanced Health Care Directive, and more. This article by a noted estate lawyer takes a look at the whole picture of estate planning.  While a will takes care of those you leave behind after death, estate planning takes care of people when they are alive, should they become incapacitated and unable to make their own decisions.

Breathing exercises for seniors with Mesothelioma

Everyone knows exercise is important for their health and wellness. This is especially true for people living with a chronic disease such as mesothelioma cancer.

Unfortunately, many people with or without mesothelioma struggle to maintain a consistent exercise routine. As a result, their overall health and wellness may deteriorate. To prevent this, people can add simple exercise movements to their daily lives.

For those with mesothelioma, breathing exercises are a great way to start.
