Dear Respected Seniors,

Healthy eating is the most important factor when it comes to overall health. Food is the fuel for our bodies, and proper diet choices ensure that you stay strong, healthy, and energized. A balanced diet with fruits and vegetables, meats/alternatives, and grains will help you get the nutrients you need to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

Dear respected seniors,

It is important to live an active and healthy lifestyle to keep your body and mind in good shape, but it is equally important to take time in the day to allow yourself time in the day to rest and relax. Taking time out of the day to practice self-care helps to release stress that may have been building up. Here are some easy ways to relax and unwind.

This month, let's learn about Osteoporosis and learn how to age healthy at home.

"Known as the “silent thief”, bone deterioration can occur over a number of years without any symptoms. Unfortunately, by the time affected bones break or fracture, the disease is already fairly advanced and less treatable.

The most common fractures associated with osteoporosis are in the hip, spine, wrist, and shoulder. Today, no single cause for osteoporosis has been identified."
