Lois Shelton, Foxglove Films         The Art of Aging, hosted by Ron Reagan is an informative program about issues we face as we age. Leaping Media’s goal is to provide information that we can apply to our lives in order to age well. Animation of glucose in the bloodstream, and prostate anatomy, created by Karen Lewis help illustrate the interviews. The programs were filmed in and around Seattle. Along with researchers and experts, the shows feature some very engaging seniors, Rainier Pickle Ball players, strollers at Seward park, swimmers and families who share their experience with Alzheimer's. www.artofaging.org The Art of Aging Aging naturally changes the body in ways that affect sexual function. But sex, love, and intimacy can continue to play an important role throughout our lives.
