MEDICAL CARE

Did you know? Growing older brings changes to your body and overall health. It is very important as a senior to regularly see a family health team that you trust and are comfortable with. Aging brings increased health issues and it becomes very important that you take charge of your health. Careful monitoring by you and your health team will help you make changes needed to stay healthy. It is also important to have all the tests and screenings your health team recommends. Maintaining a close, open relationship with your health team will bring you peace of mind.

Did you know? Already one of the most common cancers in the world, the incidence of skin cancer is on the rise. It has been estimated that nearly half of those who live to age 65 will develop skin cancer at least once. Luckily, it’s one of the most curable forms of cancer – but early detection is the key. Keep an eye on your skin and talk to your doctor if you see any suspicious changes in your skin, new growths, sores that won’t heal or changes in a lump or mole.

Did you know? Dartmouth Medical School researchers discovered that test subjects who took calcium regularly and faithfully for 4 years had a 36% reduction in the development of new pre-cancerous colon polyps even five years after the study ended. We all know that milk is a primary source of calcium. Three eight ounce glasses of fat-free milk, along with an 8oz. serving of yogurt or a 2-3oz serving of low fat cheese consumed daily provides the same calcium intake as that used in the study. Check with your dietitian.

Dietitian

Did you know? High Fibre = Less Cancer. You should eat dark not white? White bread has a high glycemic index, which means that it quickly raises your blood sugar. The same can be said of regular pasta, potatoes, white rice and sugary treats. If these are your choice, you may run a higher risk of colorectal cancer than persons who regularly eat low-glycemic-load foods, such as whole wheat pasta, sweet potatoes, brown rice and whole grain breads. A diet high in fibre and low in sugar will be amazingly helpful in weight control also.

Did you know? A small amount of unsaturated fat every day is a healthy and natural part of a proper diet. Two to three tbsp.. of oils such as canola, olive or soy will satisfy your body’s need for oil and may even help you to develop your good cholesterol, while lowering the bad stuff. Non-hydrogenated margarine, salad dressings or mayonnaise containing these oils are also good choices. Avoid butter, lard, hard shortening and hard margarines.

Physicians

Did you know? If you are feeling stressed, you can calm yourself with a breathing and relaxation technique. Sitting quietly in a chair, with your hands face down on your legs, begin to focus on your breathing. You can sit still and focus or rock slowly back and forth, breathing in time with the rocking motion (about ten times). Then, for five breaths think about your feet and feel them relax. Then, for five breaths think about your legs and feel them relax. Then, for five breaths think about your torso and relax. Then, do the same for arms, shoulders, neck and head and feel them relax. Sit still for a few more minutes when you're done breathing and relaxing. With practice, the body soon becomes better able to relax. Joining a Tai Chi class can help make routine a habit.

Did you know? If you aren’t sure about your doctors’ information or instructions, you should ask questions. Doctors may use technical language that is not familiar to you. Ask them kindly to explain what they mean and to give you examples. Maybe they could write it down or give you additional literature, if necessary. They usually have many brochures in their office that will help explain more about the condition discussed. If you often have trouble understanding or remembering, take a family member or friend along to your appointments.

Did you know? It is a myth that diabetics must avoid sugar at all costs, but what they must do for their occasional treat is to plan properly and make sure that the treat or dessert is part of a healthy plan or combined with exercise.

Did you know? You should get a good night’s sleep. Sleep plays an important role in regulating hormone, blood glucose, and cardiovascular balance and function. It decreases heart rate and blood pressure. Over the last 50 years we have tended towards shorter sleep duration, probably due to work and social pressures. This trend coincides with an increase in cases of Type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Registered Nurse Diabetic Educator

Did you know? Both diabetes and alzheimer’s disease share many risk factors, including age, gender, obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. Diets high in fat, especially trans and saturated fats can negatively affect your ‘brain power’. Diets high in vegetables, fruits, grains and fish are connected to better reasoning and memory. People with diabetes are at risk of memory loss after eating unhealthy meals.

Did you know? For those with COPD, exercise is an important part of life. Including simple stretching and breathing exercises or a walk into your daily life will help you maintain your physical and emotional well-being. There are many benefits, because exercise: Helps you use oxygen more efficiently by strengthening the muscles you use for breathing as

well as your other muscles. Helps you maintain or lose weight. Exercise helps you control your weight, making it easier to

breathe. Improves your mood: Exercise is associated with relieving depression and helps you relax. Improves your sleep: If you sleep better at night, you will have more energy during the day.

DENTAL CARE

Dentist

Did you know? As you age, your fillings and crowns also age, and your body produces less saliva. Saliva helps prevent decay by neutralizing acids and washing away leftover food in your mouth.

Did you know? There is mounting scientific evidence that suggests a link between poor oral health and serious medical conditions. Oral infections can cause blood sugar to rise and make diabetes harder to control. Studies point to a relationship between poor oral health and heart and blood vessel disease. Bacteria in infected gums can enter the blood stream, attach to blood vessels and cause clots, which aggravate high blood pressure and increase the chances of heart attack and stroke.

Did you know? Dry mouth is caused when the salivary glands don’t produce enough saliva. It can be very uncomfortable and increases the risk of developing cavities and gum disease. Dry mouth is a common side effect of many medications and can be a symptom of some conditions and diseases. For those suffering from dry mouth, sipping water frequently, chewing gum or sucking on ice chips and sugar free candy may help. There are also over the counter saliva substitutes available at drug stores, which may help. Using a fluoride rinse can help reduce cavities for those suffering with dry mouth, as well as others.

Did you know? If you have trouble swallowing tablets, ask your doctor or pharmacist for ideas. There may be a liquid medicine you could use instead. You may be able to crush your tablets, but don’t break, crush, or chew tablets without first asking your health care professional.

Did you know? If you are taking aspirin (plain, baby or enteric coated) for heart problems, you SHOULD NOT take ibuprofen or Advil as a pain medication. Ibuprofen counteracts the effects of aspirin for blood-thinning therapy for heart patients.

Did you know? Be sure to talk with your pharmacist when you pick up any prescription. This allows an additional opportunity to uncover a mistake that may have occurred when filling your prescription. It also allows you an opportunity to ask questions about your medicine and to make sure you understand the directions for taking it. Your pharmacist is a helpful source of information and can give valuable advice about prescriptions, herbals, and over-the-counter medicines.

PHARMACIES

Alternative and complementary care, also commonly known as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), alternative health care or holistic medicine, includes any healing practice that does not fall within the field of conventional medicine. It is often based on historical or cultural traditions, rather than on scientific evidence. In Canada, as in other developed countries, the use of alternative health care is on the rise. Alternative and complementary health care often focuses on 'whole person health'.

Chiropractor

Did you know? A 2010 Ipsos-Reid survey shows that 73% of Canadians regularly take natural health products (NHPs) like vitamins and minerals, herbal products, and homeopathic medicines.

Did you know? Laughter may sometimes actually be the best medicine. Studies show that laughter relaxes the body, boosts the immune system, makes us feel good and protects the heart. It can even provide a workout for you equal to that of a rowing machine, as research has shown that laughing 100 times is equal to 10 – 15 minutes of strong exercise. By releasing endorphins into the body, laughter reduces several stress hormones. It also releases T-cells that help repair the immune system, B- cells that assist in creating disease-destroying antibodies and Gamma-interferon, a disease-fighting protein.

Service Information: I have been studying energy work and healing for 12+years. I first completed a degree in Biology. I combined my energy work and biology work in Brennan Healing Science, a 4-year program of study and application. I teach an approach to healing that helps to clarify what your patterns and their results are on your health. It’s an empowering, life-changing approach that helps change cycles of ill health, and provides new choices.

Did you know? The word Reiki comes from Rei which means "God's Wisdom” or “the Higher Power", and Ki which means "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that a greater amount of life force energy flows through us. If one's energy level is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing with a very long history.

Foot Care

Did you know? When your feet hurt, you seem to hurt all over. It may be time to invest in a good pair of shoes. If your feet are swollen, put them up when you are sitting down. Don’t leave foot problems like calluses, bunions, corns, untrimmed toenails or ingrown toe nails untreated. Take that extra step to care for your feet, see a foot care specialist every 4-6 weeks for treatment or nail cutting, if you can’t do it yourself.

Did you know? Frailty and risk of falls is one of the scariest parts of aging. Falls account for more than 70 % of major injury hospitalizations for seniors. The risk of falls increases dramatically after the age of 65 with a peak period of risk at 72 years of age for men and 86 for women. Improve your balance now in order to prevent falls in the future. If you can’t stand on one foot with your eyes closed, you’re at an elevated risk of taking a tumble. Exercise and safety practices especially in the kitchen, bathroom and on the stairs will help lower the risk. Tai Chi, yoga and posture exercises help you gain confidence with balance.

Running/Walking

Did you know? Pole Walking (also known as Nordic Walking) is good for everyone from the casual walker to the athletic walker, especially seniors. Even if you're overweight or elderly, this is great exercise because it is low-impact, safe and you can go at your own pace. Pole Walking helps with: Increased balance - four legs are better than two,

with the poles offering bilateral stability. Straighter posture - holding the poles helps you

walk with a straighter back. Less impact - easier on the joints. The use of poles

decreases the impact of weight bearing stress to your spine, hips and legs.

Muscle strengthener - uses 90% of your muscles. Great calorie burner - burns 48% more calories than

normal walking, as the added use of the upper body increases the amount of calories burned.

Effective weight loss - low impact, yet higher intensity workout with 30 minutes of Pole Walking equaling 50 minutes of regular walking!..

Telescopic – most easily adjust to any height and compact for transporting or storing.

Did you know? Arthritis becomes more common as you age because of the wear and tear on the cartilage between your bones and joints, but age itself does not cause arthritis. (Even young people can suffer from premature bone and disc disease.) However, no matter your age, you can help yourself by losing weight, wearing comfortable, supportive shoes and adopting a routine of low-impact exercises to help keep yourself flexible. A study found that women who exercised once every 2 weeks for 20 minutes were less likely to develop arthritis of the knee, most common in women who don’t exercise.

Conservation Areas and Trails

Did you know? Walking is considered one of the very best exercises for people of any age. It is particularly appropriate for seniors who need regular low-impact exercise and the benefit of fresh air and sunshine. Walking clubs are groups of people who get together and walk for exercise and socializing. Some walking clubs focus on a particular type of fitness walking, however most clubs are casual local groups that gather for friendship and exercise. Our trails system provides an excellent opportunity for nature walks with friends or a solitary stroll to commune with your inner self.

Did you know? Active people are 40% less likely to have “silent strokes” which raise the risk of developing dementia, impaired mobility and major strokes. Research shows that for the elderly, exercise is a protective factor against cognitive decline. Even walking as much as three or four times a week can show improved or stable mental activity.

Did you know? It is impossible to overstate the importance of including fruit and vegetables in your diet. People who eat more vegetables are less likely to gain weight! Each vegetable has its own unique package of health-protective nutrients and plant compounds. Eating a wide variety of brightly coloured fruits and vegetables can help reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke. If you can’t get fresh products, the nutritional value of canned or frozen products will serve as well.

Weight Management

Did you know? BMI (Body Mass Index) is a useful tool for measuring obesity. It calculates the amount of body fat a person is carrying, relative to their height. The higher your BMI, it assumes the higher your body fat and that puts you at increased risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing problems, and certain cancers. Talk to a dietitian if you feel you should have a better BMI.

Did you know? Eating certain foods can slow the signs of aging by keeping arteries clearer, soft and elastic, promoting brain function and providing important nutrients to the main organs of the body. A healthy inside will show a healthy outside in attitude, appearance and everyday activity.

Caregiver Counselling Support

Did you know? Often caregivers become so busy taking care of others that they tend to forget to take care of themselves. This can result in stress, anxiety, frustration and exhaustion, which may become "Caregiver Burnout." The best way to avoid Caregiver Burnout is to set aside time and give yourself a break. If you are experiencing Burnout or feel like you are about to develop this, don’t be scared, you are NOT alone. There are respite services available to take over the care while you give yourself a much deserved break. Then you can return refreshed and able to resume the care.

Did you know? Mental Health Counsellors work with individuals, families and groups to address and treat emotional and mental health issues and promote mental health. They are trained in a variety of therapeutic techniques used to address issues, including depression, addiction and substance abuse, suicidal impulses, stress, problems with self-esteem, anxiety and grief. They also help with job and career concerns, educational decisions, issues related to mental and emotional health, and family, parenting, marital or other relationship problems.

MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS

Did you know? It is unrealistic to expect seniors who have been independent and self-sufficient all their lives, to suddenly have a desire to spend time in a senior citizen center, join activities, and take part in local opportunities. It may take a time of transition before she/he feels ready for these new environments. Encourage participation, but don’t pressure.

Did you know? Studies have shown that those seniors with more social interactions have a slower rate of memory decline, and social interaction might help ward off chronic illness and extend life expectancy.

Did you know? Staying busy can increase your enjoyment of life, but it is important not to over-commit. Your quality of life will be greatly helped by filling your days with activities that you find interesting and stimulating.

Alzheimer Society of KFL&A

Did you know? Dementia (Alzheimer’s) is NOT a “normal part of ageing”. Not only is it not inevitable, but you actually have some control over whether or not you develop it. Studies find that the same risk factors that contribute to heart disease – high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and obesity, may also contribute to Alzheimer’s and other dementias. You should exercise your body and your brain. Mild physical exercise and intellectual stimulation will strengthen both, increase blood flow, and help to build brain connections and improve the health of existing tissue.

Did you know? If a loved one becomes forgetful, it could be related to medication, nutrition, or medical issues. Don't assume Alzheimer's.

Elder abuse can take the form of neglect or physical, financial, sexual, institutional, psychological or mental abuse. If you suspect abuse: • Believe the person. Do not question. • Do not judge or deny what is

happening. • Do not tell them what to do or promise

things you can’t do. • Educate yourself on resources

available. • Encourage the person to seek help.

Be willing to accompany the person. • Do not confront the abuser. It may put

LIFE-LONG LEARNING

Did you know? What does literacy have to do with health? Sixty percent of Canada’s population struggles with literacy and cannot identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, compute, or use printed and written materials to manage their own health care. They have trouble finding and understanding health and safety information. They are more likely to develop illnesses such as asthma and diabetes, and they are less likely to seek and receive regular health services.

Did you know Computers provide a way of social interaction which is increasingly popular and helps bridge generational gaps and may create new social groups. Programs such as Facebook or even emails open new doors but, seniors must be aware that there are vulnerabilities on line such as hackers, scammers and identity theft.

Did you know? Legal problems can affect your health and well-being. Wills, Powers of Attorney, OAS, CPP and consumer issues are a few of the areas in which a legal clinic may provide advice or assistance.

Legal Clinic (Not for Profit)

Did you know? The most persuasive reason for making a Will is what happens if you die without one, or “intestate”. Choosing your beneficiaries, and the amount and timing of their inheritance, is removed from your control and is governed by the Succession Law Reform Act. For common law spouses the consequences of a spouse dying without a Will can be particularly devastating. A surviving common law spouse does not have the same rights as a married spouse to share in the deceased’s property. A Will allows you to make provision for your loved ones. Don’t Delay!

Volunteering is healthy. It benefits both society and the volunteer’s own health. Seniors have a great deal of knowledge and experience to share. By volunteering, seniors become more engaged in their world and gain health benefits. Until recently, those health benefits were hard to define. Researchers have found that, compared to other people the same age, active volunteers reported improvements in mental health, physical functioning, higher self-esteem and more connectivity with other people. They also seemed to delay the onset of age-related health problems. Some other benefits include: a lower risk of depression, fewer physical limitations, less decline in health due to aging and increases in physical activity.

Friends of the Aged Blessed are they who understand My faltering step and shaking hand Blessed, who know my ears today Must strain to hear the things they say. Blessed are those who seem to know My eyes are dim and my mind is slow Blessed are those who look away When I spilled tea that weary day. Blessed are they who, with cheery smile Stopped to chat for a little while Blessed are they who know the way To bring back memories of yesterday. Blessed are those who never say “You’ve told that story twice today” Blessed are they who make it known That I am loved, respected and not alone. And blessed are they who will ease the days Of my journey home, in loving ways.

~Esther Mary Walker
