Event Description

Aging is often thought of as a negative process, however there are important benefits that are largely uncelebrated. We will explore the privilege of aging and ways to do it well through a series of presentations by Drexel Students. Through the workshops, we will understand:

  • the basic underlying structure and function of selected organ systems
  • the basics of the normal changes associated with the process of aging in these organ systems
  • that aging is a privilege and that we should be respect the privilege we have been given by being careful to protect ourselves through the process
  • the basics of the ways we can protect our privilege
Each session will be on a different topic. See below for what we have planned so far:
  • Session 1: Sleep and your nervous system
  • Session 2: Pain and your nervous system
  • Session 3: Supplements and your digestive system
