Minnesota’s seniors are feeling more positive about their health—and are planning to travel

The percentage of Minnesota’s seniors who feel “in control” of their own health has jumped—from 29-percent last year, to 56-percent this year. That’s according to a new survey from “Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota”. “Blue Cross”-ambassador, John Hines, discusses some of the other findings… “Older Minnesotans now report experiencing fewer negative emotions in regard to ‘COVID-19’ than they have in either of the past two years. Also, two-thirds of this year’s respondents say that they’re motivated to prioritize their health since turning 65. Their top goals include: making healthier food-choices; improving diet and nutrition; losing weight and gaining muscle; and either improving or maintaining strength. What’s more, 60-percent plan on traveling within the next 12 months—with over 80-percent of them planning on taking more than one trip. They also indicate that having healthcare available to them while traveling is a priority.” To learn more, visit “blue-cross-m-n”-dot-com-slash-“seniors”.
