We all know that regular physical activity is great for
overall health. But do we all understand the dangers in being inactive? Studies
indicate that sedentary lifestyles are risky. For the most part, when older
people lose their ability to do things on their own, it doesn't happen just
because they've aged. It's usually because they're not active. Lack of physical
activity also can lead to more visits to the doctor, more hospitalizations, and
more use of medicines for a variety of illnesses. In recognition of those
facts, Juniper nurtures wellbeing by encouraging an active body, an engaged
mind and a fulfilled spirit through our innovative Signature Programs such as
Connect4Life, Connections and H’Art and Soul of Dining.
We continue our Healthy Aging Series with a focus on
Fitness. In the wise words of J.R.R., Tolkien, "All that is gold does not
glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not
wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost." This month we will Grow
Strong Daily so as to not wither, but to thrive as we develop strength in
bodies, minds and spirits.
This month we invite you to join us as we Grow Strong Daily
with activities such as our Daily Brain Builders, Wii, and our Brain Healthy
Luncheon. We also invite you to expand your knowledge in our Healthy Aging
Library.
