September is Go4Life Month

September is Go4Life Month

The National Institute on Aging at NIH, in collaboration with the White House Conference on Aging, invites you to participate in Go4Life Month, an opportunity to focus attention on the health benefits of exercise and physical activity for older adults. The overarching goal of Go4Life Month is to entice, encourage, and enable older adults to incorporate physical activity into their everyday lives. The theme of the Month is "Be Active Every Day!"

IPFH reminds you that the ability to be physically active is dependent on healthy feet.

• Learn how to get properly fitted with new footwear using the integrated approach.

• Learn how to help prevent skin / soft tissue injuries to the feet.

• Learn how to practice good foot hygiene.
