Department of Aging
promotes healthy lifestyles

    By February, many people may be tempted to give up on resolutions to be healthier, so the Ohio Department of Aging is helping people of all ages to keep their promises by posting “Healthy U Tip of the Day” on Facebook throughout the month. Tips will cover managing chronic conditions, finding resources, understanding symptoms, managing stress, exercise, eating well, communicating with health professionals, managing medications and more. Facebook users can visit the Ohio Department of Aging on www.facebook.com and click the “Like” button to have the tips delivered right to their news feeds.
    “The simple act of deciding to live a healthier life increases your chances of success by a factor of 10, but developing new habits can take time and dedication,” said Bonnie Kantor-Burman, director of the department.
    “By now, people who made wellness resolutions for the new year may be wondering if they can keep them. Using the proven advice from our Healthy U program, we hope to provide a little assistance.”
    Healthy U is a chronic disease self-management program developed by researchers at Stanford University and offered in Ohio through a partnership between the Ohio Department of Aging, the Ohio Department of Health and local organizations.
    A series of six weekly, community-based workshops helps adults of any age gain confidence in their ability to manage symptoms and understand how their health problems affect their lives.
    The Healthy U Tip of the Day will come straight from the Healthy U curriculum.
    Call your area agency on aging at 1-866-243-5678 to inquire about upcoming workshops where you live.
    In addition to these tips, subscribers to the department’s page on Facebook also will receive weekly spotlights on businesses that honor the Golden Buckeye Card and timely updates about current issues affecting older Ohioans, department programs and initiatives, local activities and resources, and more.[[In-content Ad]]
