The joy and benefits of living a well-rounded healthy life for many senior citizens is a goal that can be achieved through having a healthy and balance diet that includes a variety of  fresh fruits, vegetables and regular exercise. Both exercise and proper nutrition contributes positively to both our physical and mental well-being.  Foods that are overladen with sugar, fats or that are highly processed have the ability to slow us down regardless of our age. As we get older it becomes more difficult for our bodies to recover from food that may not be healthy for us. Eating better and exercising at any age can improve our weight, mobility, energy and our mental well-being.
