What keeps people young at heart and healthy as the age? There are a lot of speculations and hypothesis, but one incredible lady named Lola Jean Copeland has a unique way of staying vivacious and healthy. To look at her, you might think she was in her early 70’s, but she just turned 98!
Lola Jean Copeland has always had a love for dance, and that passion, she says, is keeping her feeling youthful. Lola who’s a resident at The Terraces at Bonita Springs, celebrated her recent 98th birthday by taking dance classes at the Enchanted Ballroom in Bonita Springs, Florida. Some of her neighbors from the retirement community joined her for the event.
“You got to move it or lose it,” Lola told the WINK-TV reporter. “I don’t know if it’s the dancing or the egg I eat every morning—or maybe it’s the beer I enjoy every night,” she says with a chuckle.
Studies show dance classes, like the one Copeland attended, help to keep seniors fit and able to enjoy the independent living lifestyle they desire. Dancing regularly will help maintain strength, strong bones, heart health, cognitive function, posture and improve balance.
Along with this dance class, Copeland also enjoys participating in The Terraces at Bonita Springs Vitality Program, which promotes wellness education and programming. After moving into The Terraces, Copeland has been able to make many friends and enjoy the active lifestyle she’s always desired.
Lola certainly has a love for life, and dance, and anyone who speaks with her will know that she is just as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside.
