Healthy Aging; Embracing an Active Lifestyle
Aging is inevitable. It’s a function of time. There are no guarantees for healthy aging; but researchers and health professionals agree that there are things we can do and habits we can adopt that impact our quality of life. Do you want a positive outlook, a strong, healthy body, and good cognitive function well into your senior years?
On Thursday, February 15 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. the Fenelon Seniors Activity & Event Centre is holding an event on Healthy Aging; Embracing an Active Lifestyle. Learn from our panel of experts actionable steps we can take to improve and maintain a healthy body, mind and spirit. The panel of local health professionals and practitioners includes Leslie Ballam (Registered Nurse), Tessa Lang-Larson (Manual Osteopathic Practitioner), Dr. Dan Nighswander (Chiropractor), Tina Harrington (Registered Psychotherapist) and Sara deRuiter (Client Support from the Alzheimer’s Society).
