July/August 2017

July & August important dates to remember: by Melanie Rivera   The Fourth of July—also known as Independence Day or July 4th—has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution. On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues.

In his Presidential Proclamation (August 19, 1988), President Ronald Reagan said "For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and a heartfelt salute. We can best demonstrate our gratitude esteem by making sure that our communities are good places in which to mature & grow older." On this day, we are encouraged to recognize and show appreciation for the value of elderly people to home, family and society.

On August 19, 1988, President Ronald Reagan issued Proclamation 5847 creating National Senior Citizens Day to be August 21

Helpful Tips to Beat the Heat this Season.

Stay Hydrated... It is important to drink

plenty of water in the summer months. Often times the feeling of thirst decreases with age, so it is important to increase daily water intake. Aim to drink 4-8 glasses a day. Also eating fruits & veggies help hydrate & keep the body healthy.

Dress for the Weather… When it is warm outside, dress in light colored clothing, loose fitting clothing. Wearing lightweight fabrics can help your skin to breath.

Be Good to your Eyes… Wearing a good pair of sunglasses outside can protect your eyes from the harmful ultraviolet rays and help prevent cataracts.

Wear Sunscreen… Try to avoid too much sun during the summer months. When you go outside make sure to wear sunscreen with SPF 15 or more.

Plan Activities Accordingly… During the day. The sun is strongest between 10am and 4pm. If you wish to enjoy the summer weather, limit your activities to morning & evening when the temperature is lower.

Review Medications… Many medications, particularly antibiotics and diuretics, affect the body’s natural ability to cope with the sun and it’s ultraviolet rays. It is important to review daily medications to help prevent dehydration and other heat-related problems.
