September is Healthy Aging Month which means it’s time to celebrate growing older by doing things that add years to your life–and making the most out of those years by being as healthy as possible.
Being healthy doesn’t happen by accident. It takes knowledge and the ability to
make the right choices. But that doesn’t mean it has to be hard. Believe it or not, it
can even be fun. Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital offers three helpful ways
to promote healthy aging that you can begin this September.
