September Is Healthy Aging® Month/Right at Home Algonquin

September is the annual Healthy Aging^® Month when Americans nationwide
are reminded to focus on the positive aspects of growing older and take
personal responsibility for one’s health – physically, socially, mentally or
financially. More than 15 years ago, the national health initiative, Healthy
Aging^®, was developed to provide people with helpful information for successful aging.

The Healthy Aging^® group encourages people to reinvent themselves, take control of their health and use September as the motivation to take stock of where one’s been and consider what one really would like to do if money were no object. The following are tips for new beginnings:

Go back to school.
It’s never too late to take courses to refocus your career, enhance a skill set
or expand your knowledge. Many degrees are now available through online
courses.

Take a volunteer vacation.

Many travelers are opting for “giving back” vacations
that allow for meeting and helping new people, learning something new or
fulfilling a dream. Volunteer Vacations Across America is an excellent resource.

Initiate a financial makeover.

Make an appointment with your financial advisor or find one this month and walk through your current finances and long-range monetary plans.

Get moving like there’s no tomorrow.

Dancing, swimming, walking and golfing are a few of the favorite activities of older adults.

Eat fresh.

Make a commitment to add more fresh fruits and vegetables to your daily snacks and meals. Try to cook from scratch using fresh ingredients as much as possible.

Healthy Aging^® Month is a motivation for senior citizens to resolve that it’s not too late to shore up their health, pursue something new or revive a favorite hobby or activity.
