Eight Reasons to Stay Active

At Proctor Place we believe in helping our residents continue to live independently as long as possible by encouraging a healthly lifestyle full of enjoyable activities. This is not just something we feel is important. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists eight good reasons why staying active is important.

Staying active will help:

  1. Control weight
  2. Reduce risk of cardiovascular disease
  3. Reduce risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome
  4. Reduce risk of some cancers
  5. Strengthen bones and muscles
  6. Improve mental health and mood
  7. Improve the ability to do daily activities and prevent falls, if you’re an older adult
  8. Increase your chances of living longer
