As we age, we need strategies to keep our bodies healthy, particularly if we do not accept treating symptoms with drugs and surgery. Developing intuition about our bodies comes from experience, and better understanding of the seasons. Learning tips on food, eating habits, self-care, and lifestyle can also improve our body, mind and spirit. Members of Health Yourself! will discover and share ideas so we can institute them in our lives, and bring them to our friends, family, and community.
