USA
On The Move: Steps To Healthy Aging
GOAL:
As a part of the President's HealthierUS Initiative, USA on the
Move: Steps to Healthy Aging is a two-part project sponsored by
the Administration on Aging (AoA) and the National Policy and
Resource Center on Nutrition and Aging (Center) at Florida International
University. It is designed to improve nutrition and physical activity
in older adults. Simple, modest increases in daily activities
can improve overall health, prevent disease and disability, and
reduce health care costs for our nation.
WHY:
Poor health is not a foregone consequence of aging. An active
healthy lifestyle is a key component to successful aging. Eating
Better & Moving More, the two steps in Steps to Healthy Aging,
can help even frail older adults prolong their independence and
improve their quality of life. Caregivers of family members, who
often neglect their own physical, nutritional, and mental health,
can also benefit from Eating Better & Moving More
