EMPOWERED AGING: Take Control Of Your Health (Online)Wellness, Health & SafetyEMPOWERED AGING: Take Control Of Your Health (Online) Every day, your body makes about 330 billion new cells which means 3.8 million cells are replaced every SECOND! This means every second is an opportunity to make every system in your body healthier. The quality of cell your body can produce this second is very dependent on what raw materials you have floating around your bloodstream. Studies show you can be 50 and have the physiology of a 30-year-old (and vice versa), depending on how well you take care of yourself. What you do now greatly affects your health and well-being now and in the future. Nothing beats good health! We’ll discuss simple steps you can take now to help make every system in your body as healthy as possible Instructor: Janice NovakAdult Enrichment 2025-2026
