September: Healthy Aging Month

September is Health Aging Month.  This observance is designed to focus attention on the positive aspects of growing older--taking personal responsibility of your own health.

There are many aspects of health...socially, mentally, financially or the obvious one...physical.

Central Susquehanna Sight Services will share tips and ideas to promote your physical health as you age.

Let's talk about exercise.  We know, we know-this is not a favorite subject for many.  But in the end, this one is not that hard to do.  Get up and move!!!  Physical activity helps to control your blood pressure, prevent heart disease and stroke.  It can even reduce your risk for anxiety and depression.

If you haven't exercised in a long time, start out small.  Take a short walk around your house every day.  You can work your way up to walking around the block and then keep going...maybe take a hike once you are conditioned for it.

The Center for Disease Control and Preventions has some suggestions for physical activity for people with a disability.
