Health and Wellness

April is National Cancer Control Month in the United States, and health organizations across the country are making efforts to educate millions of people about the most effective ways they can help prevent the spread of this dangerous disease.

And although Cancer, in all its forms, impacts millions of people every year – about 1.6 million Americans are diagnosed every year, according to the American Cancer Society – the illness does discriminate against older people.

With the warmer months approaching, there are a whole host of great activities. As you get older, your priorities change and you may find yourself wanting to do different things than when you were a bit younger. Busy theme parks might not be quite your cup of tea anymore, so here are five things you can have fun doing in the springtime:
