Healthy aging refers to a movement towards encouraging seniors to live an active life. For seniors exercise and movement is beneficial for many reasons - physiological and psychological. By engaging seniors in healthy movement and activity you are helping to change the way they age. Many diseases can be controlled and even prevented through healthy changes in lifestyle.
"There are only two proven ways for humans to "look and feel younger" and reduce the risks of dying or age-related diseases: engaging in regular exercise and a healthy diet." ~Dr. Walter Bortz, author of Dare to be 100.
