MAY 29, 2024 IS NATIONAL SENIOR HEALTH & FITNESS DAY
National Senior Health and Fitness Day is celebrated every year on the last Wednesday of May as part of the Older Americans Month activities. National Senior Health and Fitness Day is the largest health and wellness movement for seniors in the U.S.
It is high time that we explore the various options of physical activity available for our seniors and acknowledge the importance of nutrition and exercise to prevent ill health. A healthy diet boosts immunity and energy while regular exercise retains bone mass and lowers the risk of fractures and any other disease or condition.
Around the country, assisted-living communities provide intermediate care for the elderly who, although they do not require a nursing home, are no longer able to carry on living independently. Different kinds of senior care and housing have emerged, such as communities for continuing care retirement, respite care, in-home care, and memory care.
National Senior Health and Fitness Day is celebrated in over 1,200 locations including senior centers, recreation centers, hospitals, health clubs, health departments, retirement communities, and more. Local health and senior organizations organize, sponsor, and host events. Different types of popular programs are held at such events, like group exercises, walking tours, health fairs, and many more.
