How civic design can promote healthy aging
http://www.hiphealth.ca/blog/CivicDesignForAging
For many of us, a walk around the corner or a trip to the store is an effortless fact of daily life. But viewed through the eyes of an older adult with restricted mobility, that same trip can be an intimidating, physically demanding ordeal. Simple details of the urban landscape, such as uneven pavement or crosswalk timing, become harrowing obstacles to those individuals with physical limitations that make walking difficult or induce fear of falling.

Opinion: A Yes vote is a vote for active aging
http://www.hiphealth.ca/blog/Vote-Yes-Op-Ed
Chances of remaining active for longer are related to reduced sedentary behaviours, moving more and to living in a healthy community, with accessible bus stops, frequent buses, protected bike paths, safe pedestrian walkways and plenty of benches and rest stops, Heather McKay writes.

Make it Walkable … and Sittable! Lessons from Vancouver’s West End for the new Arbutus Greenway
http://www.hiphealth.ca/blog/benches-are-like-porches
New research shows that benches make it possible for older adults and vulnerable seniors to get out of their homes more, meet friends, and stay in their homes and communities longer. In short, public benches make neighbourhoods more livable for seniors, improve their health, and increase their social connectedness.
Falls are not a normal part of aging: 4 key ways you can prevent falls
http://www.hiphealth.ca/blog/2015-Fall-Prevention-Tips
Everyone experiences a fall now and then. While most falls do not cause serious injury, occasionally we are reminded of how even a simple fall from standing can be catastrophic. Indeed, falls from standing height are the most common cause of injury-related hospitalizations across the lifespan and the number one cause of injury-related deaths in older adults. Falls are especially devastating among older adults causing over 90% of hip fractures and wrist fractures, and 60% of head injuries.

While it’s true those little witches and warlocks are likely devouring oodles of sweet treats, they are also getting a hearty dose of physical activity -- the “miracle drug” of healthy living!
