Digesting it can be time-consuming and boring. That&#8217;s why I came up with CareToons, to convey the most vital facts, weeding out the jargon and junk.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> The humorous presentation adds efficiency. &#8220;People just smile and get the point. It couldn&#8217;t be simpler.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> <strong>CareToons&#8482; will help people:<\/strong><br \/> * Look at thornier issues such as someday needing help with tasks of daily living (long-term care),<br \/> * Focus on key facts about diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices that promote extra years of productivity.<br \/> * Explore today&#8217;s senior-living options, ranging from culture-rich assisted-living communities to modifications of one&#8217;s current home,<br \/> * Review the many ways to pay for quality senior living and care,<br \/> * Access the cornucopia of life-enriching options for those who stay active and involved.<\/p>\n<p> Unlike self-help, Samson&#8217;s approach never prescribes. It informs through pleasant bursts of insight. <\/p>\n<p> Although aimed at consumers, the CareToons&#8482; may also be used by professionals to make points with clients or constituents. These pros include healthcare providers, suppliers of health-promoting services or products, insurance agents, financial advisers, managers of senior-living and home-care services, community leaders, and public policy makers.<\/p>\n<p> For the project description and sample CareToons&#8482;, visit the Kickstarter page: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/23182138\/smile-youre-living-longer\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/23182138\/smile-youre-living-longer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> With brevity and ebullience, the project will touch on many of today&#8217;s hottest issues: healthcare, health reform, Obamacare, long-term care insurance, prevention and preventive medicine, mental health, Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, food and nutrition, exercise and fitness, environmental health, wellness and wellness programs, incomes for people of all ages, the politics of wealth and poverty, and more.<\/p>\n<p> * PHOTO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/13-1016-dick-samson_400x300.jpg\" class=\"autohyperlink\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/13-1016-dick-samson_400x300.jpg<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p> * Photo Caption: EraNova Institute Director Dick Samson.<\/p>\n<p>News issued by: EraNova Institute<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/13-1016-dick-samson_400x300.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"EraNova Institute\"\/><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/13-1016-dick-samson_400x300.jpg\" class=\"autohyperlink\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/13-1016-dick-samson_400x300.jpg<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<p> # # # <\/p>\n<p><small>Original Story ID: 2013-10-1016-001 (9018) :: Kickstarter-Project-Smile-Youre-Living-Longer-Cartoon-Signposts-to-Better-Lifespans-Not-Just-Lengthier-Ones_2013-10-1016-001<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>Original Keywords: Kickstarter crowdfunding project, Smile, You&#8217;re Living Longer, CareToons ebook, EraNova Institute Director Dick Samson, publishing, healthcare, health reform, Obamacare, long-term care insurance, prevention and preventive medicine, mental health, Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, food and nutrition, exercise and fitness, environmental health, wellness and wellness programs EraNova Institute Mountain Lakes New Jersey MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J.<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>Alternate Headline: CareToons are Signposts to Better Lifespans, Not Just Lengthier Ones: &#8216;Smile, You&#8217;re Living Longer&#8217;<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><strong>NEWS ARCHIVE NOTE:<\/strong> this archival news content, issued by the news source via Send2Press Newswire, was originally located in the Send2Press&reg; 2004-2015 2.0 news platform and has been permanently converted\/moved (and redirected) into our 3.0 platform.
