Activity of both mind and body has a beneficial effect on the health and well being of older adults.

"For too long, support to live healthy lives has lost out to other priorities in our health care system despite every indication that investments in this area lead to better health and return great savings in health care. If we, as a society, don’t change this pattern and invest significantly in healthy living initiatives over the long haul, our taxpayer-supported health care system will be unsustainable."
