Mobility

From doing daily errands to taking the trip of a lifetime, from going out with friends to staying in your own home, much of living happily and well depends on mobility. But mobility can fade away. Many factors effect your mobility and ability to keep your independence. Exercise, diet, preventive care, and lifestyle choices will keep you stronger and steadier with fewer aches and more stamina. "Use it or lose it" is the mantra for maintaining your mobility.
