Older adults are at a higher risk of developing a chronic illness. Some primary drivers of this are poor diet and a lack of exercise. Working with the Heart and Stroke Foundation we learned that a lack of information isn’t the problem, instead we need to create a program that makes change easy and fits with people lives.
