Older Adults

 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate that more than 78% of adults, age 50 and older, are at risk for health problems related to lack of regular and sustained physical activity.  Individuals can greatly reduce their risk of dying from heart disease and decrease the risk for colon cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure by engaging in regular physical activity.

 

Silver Sneakers Proram

 

 

SilverSneakers offers an innovative blend of physical activity, healthy lifestyle and socially oriented programming that allows older adults to take greater control of their health. The program is a proven, results-oriented initiative that enables older adults, often burdened with chronic conditions, to take charge of their health and maintain an active, independent lifestyle.
