Today is No Tobacco Day and this day was established with the goal of raising awareness of the dangers of this habit, and the thousands of lives it costs every year.

Did you know that today is also Senior Health and Fitness Day?

For Grandma, Grandpa, Granny, Gramps, Nana, Papa and all our well-loved elders, Senior Health & Fitness Day is a time to explore the many senior-friendly physical activity options, and to understand the importance of exercise and nutrition for ongoing health and illness-prevention.

A healthy diet can boost energy and immunity, and regular exercise is necessary to retain bone mass and lower the risk of fractures, and to build muscle strength and reduce the risk of falls.
