Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello Twenty - five percent of all North Amencans will be over 65 by the year 2031. Also dur- ing the next 20 years, the number of per- sons over the age of 75 will double. Our feet lose about 1/2 pint of moisture each day via their 250,000 sweat glands. So if your feet get dry, try replacing lost moisture with a good moisturizing cream after bathing or showering. Nearly 1/3 of women and 1/4 of men are trying to lose weight at any given time. The depressing part of this is that 90% of all dieters gain all or most of their weight back within 5 years.
