Online sessions help seniors stay strong and healthy

Local residents interested in learning practical ways to stay strong and healthy while aging are invited to attend free online workshops offered by Alberta Health Services’ registered dietitians and health educators.

Life changes as we age, as do the needs of our bodies. Learning different strategies to stay healthy throughout aging improves one’s health. This free two-hour session will guide participants through a variety of topics, including nutrition, staying active, and different social activities that can help them stay healthy as they age.

Those interested can join virtually with a computer, a tablet or a phone.

The class is engaging, and participants can attend alone, with a loved one or a support person. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to move throughout the workshop, and use space with room to move, if possible.
