[Moving and eating--two activities which age well].
The people who participate in courses and activities offered by the "Fédération Vaudoise des Ligues de la Santé" are varied both in origin and age. The aged are not absent. Physical exercise, improved nutrition, among other communal activities are the occasion for creating contacts while learning to live better. For example, gentle gymnastics classes or physiotherapy in water allow persons suffering from articular diseases to minimize the negative effects due to inactivity, bad habits, and general aging. Nutrition is an important issue for the elderly as frequently their relationship to food changes; diminished appetite, difficulty chewing and digestive problems. A dietician provides instruction and advice on balanced meals adapted to the changing needs associated with aging. These courses, are also the opportunity for immediate and future contacts which can be beneficial for those encountering difficulty in overcoming the loss of their professional life or adapting to solitude after retirement or widowhood.
