e-Learning: Aging Well

Presented by Momiji / JSS

The second online seminar (via Zoom) of March 2024 is to learn about tips for aging well.  *Held in English with Japanese interpretation.

What is this session about?

“Accept that life has no pause button, there is no perfect time when things will miraculously get easier and accept and believe that something is better than nothing” by John Berardi, PhD, CSCS. Aging is a natural and normal process of the human body.

There is no “start time” or “start date” as to when this cycle begins, but there are steps that we can take to promote healthy aging!

Please join us for this seminar by the Scarborough Centre for Healthy Communities (SCHC) to discuss the following:

• Normal changes in your body as you age
• Warning signs to look for chronic health conditions
• Tips on how to eat healthy and maintain good nutrition as you age
• Tips on how to be more physically active
• Tips on keeping your brain and mind active
