apple pickin time Lunch...tuesday, october 14th

We will have an apple theme lunch on October 14th.The center will offer apple treats, trivia, and games.

Getting Active a Day at a Time Start with today. Plan something today, such as a walk. You can start with just 10 or 20 minutes. It is a beautiful time of year to get outside. The fall colors are wonderful and the temperatures are perfect for a walk outside. I have taken this advice to heart. It makes you feel

so much better. Think about tomorrow. It might be fun to call a friend you

haven’t spoken with in a while. Ask if they would like to take a walk with you. I am always surprised how quickly time passes as you talk

with a dear friend. It is always easier to get active if you have a partner. A great partner could even be your dog. Begin by just

walking around the block. Increase a little bit each day. Before you know it you will be walking 10 blocks.

Another thing to consider is the different seasons. Fall is a great time to get started. It isn’t too hot or cold. There isn’t any snow on the ground, at least not yet. You might need different activities for each season, so start thinking about what you can do this winter. You

can always walk indoors, if you choose. The senior center has a walking program that is really enjoyable. We would love to start a walking group, if anyone is interested. In the past we have walked

right before lunch, but we didn’t have much interest last year. As you become more active, it gets easier and more fun. Don’t forget the more fun you have, the more exercise you get, and the more

fit you will become. At the center we try to include some physical activities throughout the summer. We had a wonderful time this

summer with all of our activities. We met some new friends and got to know some of you much better. We will continue activities nex

summer. If you have any suggestions let us know and always make sure to sign up early. We look forward to next spring. Take care and

remember to get or stay active! I know I will.

Nutrition Nibbles...

Having Problems With Food

Does your favorite chicken dish taste different? As you grow older, your sense of taste and smell may change. Foods may seem to have lost flavor. Also, medicines may

change how food tastes. They can also make you feel less hungry. Talk to your doctor about whether there

is a different medicine you could use. Try extra spices or herbs on

yours foods to add flavor.

Maybe some of the foods you used to eat no longer agree with you. For example, some people become lactose intolerant. They

have stomach pain, gas, or diarrhea after eating or drinking something

with milk in it, like ice cream. Most can eat small amounts of such food

or can try yogurt, buttermilk, or hard cheese. Lactose-free foods are available now also. Your doctor can

test to see if you are lactose intolerant.

Is it harder to chew your food? Maybe your dentures need to fit

better, or your gums are sore. If so, a dentist can help you. Until then, you might want to eat softer foods

that are easier to chew.

Most doctors would say that diets don’t work - lifestyle changes do. You might ask yourself, then why are there so many diet plans out there? In fact, most diets do work, but they do not last. When people diet they can lose significant weight, but they will often gain it back. In order to be successful when dieting, you need to provide your body with nutrients and get rid of the “junk” it doesn’t need. Drinking water rather than sugary drinks is one of the most crucial acts you can do when trying to lose weight. That’s because water filters out the toxins in your body. Water also makes us feel full so we don’t overcompensate with food. Before eating, ask yourself if you are truly hungry, rather than eating just to satisfy a craving. Late night eating is a red flag. You’ll notice significant results if you train yourself not to eat past a certain time in the evening. If you must eat at night, have a low calorie snack.

Keep in mind that starving yourself is not the way to lose weight either. By skipping meals, your body stores food as fat. That makes it more complicated to lose the pounds. Experts recommend that we eat four to five small meals a day rather than three big meals. They think that it is the best way to keep a high metabolism. The slimmest state in the country is Colorado. Only 20 percent of the people in Colorado suffer from obesity. There is something actually called the Colorado Diet. It consists of eating six times a day. They recommend eating breakfast in the first hour after you wake up. They also recommend protein and carbohydrates with every meal. Of course, adding exercise to the routine will sure help. With simple changes, nearly everyone can maintain a healthy lifestyle.

A STATE OF SLIM

REMEMBER WHEN......COMPUTER TERMINOLOGY

* A computer was something on TV from a science fiction show. * A window was something you hated to clean, and ram was a male goat.* Meg was the name of your girlfriend, and gig was a music show.* Now they all mean different things, and that really megabytes.* An application was used to get a job.* A program was a TV show.* A cursor was someone using profanity, and a keyboard was on a piano.* Memory was something you lost with age.* A CD was something you bought to save money.* Compress was something you did with the garbage, not something you did to a file.* And if you unzipped anything in public, you’d lose your job or go to jail.* Cut you did with a pocket knife.* Paste you did with glue.* A web was a spider’s home, and a virus was the flu.* Log-on meant adding wood to the fire.* Hard drive was a long trip by car.* A mouse pad was where a mouse lived, and a backup happened to your toilet.

I’ll guess I’ll stick to my pad and paper and the memory in my head. I hear nobody’s been hurt in a computer crash, but whenit happens, they wish they’d stayed in bed.
