Since birth we celebrate and as we grow old, the state of our health keeps changing as well.
At various stages and ages in life we celebrate specially:
At 40, we celebrate Ruby Jubilee.
At 45, we celebrate Sapphire Jubilee.
At 50, we celebrate Golden Jubilee.
At 60, we celebrate Diamond Jubilee.
At 70, we celebrate Platinum Jubilee.
At 75, we celebrate Milestone.
However, once we attain the age of 60 and above, all senior citizens usually experience various health issues as captured below. These are usually health issues experienced by most senior citizens;
Food choking
Neck pain
Leg cramps
Tingling feet
The self-help tips given below may help especially senior citizens, before they can get to the doctor.
FOOD CHOKING
You only need to “raise your hands.” By raising your hands above your head, the food stuck in your throat will go down by itself.
NECK PAIN
Sometimes you wake up in the mornings with pain in the neck. One reason could be the use of wrong pillow. In such a situation, you only need to lift your feet, then pull your toes and move your feet in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
CRAMPS
When you have cramps on your left leg, raise your right hand high, when having cramp in your right leg, raise your left hand high. You will immediately feel better.
TINGLING SENSATION
When the left foot is tingling, swing your right arm with all your strength; when the right foot is tingling, swing your left arm with all your strength.

In the USA, immediately you turn 55 years of age, you are a senior citizen, although you would not be collecting your social security benefits until you are 62 years of age.
The fact remains you are a senior citizen at 55
