September is National Aging Month
Healthy living is healthy aging. Developing and maintaining healthy aging practices throughout the lifespan contributes to greater resilience and opportunities to thrive as we age – from infancy through older adulthood. The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) is prioritizing physical activity for older adults – and all ages – through Move Your Way®
Move Your Way® Materials for Older Adults
Physical activity can help older adults prevent both chronic disease and fall-related injuries. That’s why older adults have always been a priority audience for the Move Your Way® campaign, which is the promotional campaign for the second edition of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
ODPHP offers a Move Your Way materials to help older adults understand the amount and types of physical activity they need to be healthy.

You may not think about them much, but as the centerpiece of your respiratory system, your lungs are always hard at work. Each day, we take about 23,000 breaths, and as we breathe, the lungs filter out waste and move the ever-important oxygen into our bloodstream and to all the cells in the body. As we age, our lung capacity declines, making this necessary gas exchange more difficult. But there are things you can do to keep your lungs healthy and even increase your capacity.
Exercise regularly. When you're physically active, your heart and lungs work harder to get additional oxygen to your muscles. Regular exercise doesn’t only make your lungs stronger, but it makes your heart stronger too. Your body becomes more efficient at getting oxygen into the bloodstream and transporting it to the working muscles which is one of the reasons that you become less likely to get short of breath during exercise over time.
