Why Winter Wellness Matters
Research shows that one in three adults over 65 fall each year, with winter conditions significantly increasing this risk. Cold weather can double the risk of heart attacks in older adults, while reduced sunlight exposure leads to Vitamin D deficiency affecting bone and immune health. Winter also increases feelings of isolation and seasonal depression.
​
Consistent daily habits help seniors maintain strength and balance, support emotional well-being, reduce illness and fall risk, and stay engaged.
