If you're over 65, pay attention to what kind of toilet you have in your bathroom.
As we age, we are more prone to health conditions and complications: arthritis, heart disease, and various forms of dementia. Much of this is down to how our bodies change over time, but there are things we can do about it to reduce health risks.
