Senior Citizens and Being More Active

There is a program in Owen County that helps to provide local Senior Citizens with Nutrition Education. We work with the local Senior Citizens Center to bring Owen County’s seniors the latest nutrition information

During this program, seniors were taught about the benefits of staying active, using the Healthy Choices for Every Body Curriculum. 

At the Beginning of the program, 100% of seniors reported that they are never make choices to be active. At the end of the program the 90% of seniors reported that they are active often (about 60% of the time). Those seniors reported feeling less irritable and overall better about their health. One senior can be quoted as saying, “If you don’t use it, you lose it…and I am so glad I have started using it.”
