Palm Medical Centers is proud to be a participating facility in the National Senior Health & Fitness Day, as it is an opportunity to help those in Central and South Florida get a little more education about how their diet and exercise habits influence their overall wellness.
4 Ways to Participate in National Senior Health & Fitness Day
Participating in National Senior Health & Fitness Day is as simple as being active and proactive about your health! Our compassionate doctors outlined four easy ways for our senior patients to get into the spirit and celebrate National Senior Health & Fitness Day for themselves.

2. Take a Long Walk with a Loved One
Staying active doesn’t have to mean participating in rigorous physical activity. Instead, we encourage patients to consider going on a long, outdoor walk with a friend or family member. Walking is a great, low-impact exercise that is good for the heart and blood circulation. The term “long walk,” has a different definition for everyone, so we encourage patients to walk for however long they are comfortable.
3. Cook a Healthy Meal
Maintaining good health means more than just staying active – it means taking care of your body from the inside out. Cooking a healthy meal with your friends or loved ones is a great way to celebrate National Senior Health & Fitness Day. We encourage our patients to make meals rich in vitamins and nutrients by adding a variety of vegetables, healthy fats, and lean proteins to their plates.
4. Visit Your Doctor for Health Screenings
If you want to be proactive in your health this year, we strongly suggest coming and seeing one of our expert primary care doctors for health screenings. Whether you just want to check your cholesterol levels or are interested in getting all your annual screenings done, seeing one of our dedicated providers is a great way to ensure your health stays on track.
