Dan LaPlaca, owner and co-founder of PRO Physical Therapy in Columbus,

recently presented a program to the Columbus Lions Club in which he told members how they can make the most of their third act in life – putting off 70 percent of aging until the end of life.

There are three basic steps.

First, exercise six days a week; second, quit eating food that is bad for you; and third, care, commit and connect to others. The Lions feel they have the third step covered, but the other two – maybe not so much.

LaPlaca emphasized that although these steps are not easy, they are well worth the effort if we can stay healthy, strong and active until the third act curtain closes.

The Columbus Lions meet on the first and third Thursday evenings at Calvert’s Restaurant in Columbus, and they encourage anyone interested in community service to visit with them.
