A Model for Healthy & Active Aging
How many stories have you read recently about the downside of aging, and the pitfalls of getting older? At the Methodist Home, we prefer to focus on the positive and that's why we love this story about Bernie Mirin, a resident of Lester Senior Housing Community in Whippany, New Jersey. At 90 years old, Mirin spends an hour each day biking around his senior living community's parking lot to stay fit and active. According to local press, "[Mirin] says the two most important things he focuses on are exercise and healthful eating, to which he attributes his continued vigor and activity level at age 90. He gets outside every day that weather permits for one solid hour of exercise, pedaling the perimeter of the parking lot of the senior community and enjoying the fresh air."
