Quote of the Day - 03/30/2012

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do. - Goethe

~~~~~

The quote above was used in the opening for a summary of a recent workshop on nutrition and healthy aging. It is a particularly good choice when it comes to the continuing challenge of nutrition and healthy choices we all make. Even when we know and are willing…somehow applying that knowledge to the actions we take doesn’t always happen. As the years go by, the not-so-good choices begin to take a toll on our overall health and quality of life.

The workshop was focused on the way communities can hone the services available to support the increasing number of older people within the same communities they have lived all along. With tight budgets in the years ahead, program streamlining and prioritization will become intense. The summary is in prepublication form but is an informative read.
