Monthly Newsletter October 2018

In 1957, Louise Seger was listening to the radio as she was working in her kitchen and she heard Patsy Cline performing on Arthur Godfrey’s show, Talent Scouts. Patsy, against her own wishes, sang a song she considered “nothin but a little old pop song." The song, “Walking After Midnight,” became her first big hit and radio-listening audiences went wild!

Through a series of events, the two women struck up a friendship that lasted until the plane crash that ended Patsy’s life in 1963. During the show you will see how the relationship between Cline and Seger develops as they

each lead their individual lives and experience love and loss.

Join us and experience an afternoon of fun!

Glenna Spink and Pat Finn enjoy an afternoon of exercising.

1. Eat Healthily

As we age, our immune system weakens. While this is a natural part of life, having a strong diet helps to fuel us and fight off sick-ness and is essential to a healthy lifestyle. Some people experience a loss of appetite with age but eating a healthy number of calories and nutrients can help maintain healthy organs, muscles, and bones. Even though certain fruits may be out of season and cold weather keeps us from gardening, seniors should be sure to keep fruits and vegetables in their diets all year long. For extra help, daily vitamins can help make sure you’re getting the daily recommended servings of the nutrients and minerals that you need. 2. Exercise Often – Even Outdoors

It can be hard for any group to find the motivation to exercise in the winter. For seniors, the benefits of an active lifestyle are im-mense, from helping to ward off heart disease to increase mobility. Indoor exercises are a great way to stay fit even when the weather stops you from leaving your house. Treadmills, weights and other exercise equipment can help you stay on course with your exercise regimen. Of course, even when it is chilly out, getting fresh air, and vitamin D are crucial to our health. With layered clothing, sunscreen and plenty of water, exercising outside in the winter can be a fun way to get out of the house and change up your routine. Be sure condi-tions are safe and to clear any fitness routines with your doctor. 3. Socialize

It is not just physical health that needs some extra attention when it gets cold out, but mental health as well. For seniors, isolation can already be a major obstacle, but during the winter when peo-ple tend to stay home more, it can play an even bigger role in your day-to-day life. To help fight off seasonal depression, it is good to see loved ones, spend some time outdoors, and even run er-rands. If weather conditions prevent travel, making phone calls to friends and family is a good way to stay in touch. If you’d like to be surrounded by other retirees, a retirement community that en-courages independent living is a great fit for you. If feelings of loneliness start to take a toll on you, remember to reach out and ask for help. 4. Take Safety Precautions

Even the healthiest seniors can be injured because of an accident. In the wintertime, things like cold weather and storms can make daily tasks more hazardous, and it is important to be prepared for them. It is common for seniors to experience falls, so the added dangers of obstacles like black ice mean that everyone should use extra caution when walking outside. If you plan on staying home during bad weather, it is a good idea to have a prepared safety kit in your house. Flashlights, non-perishable foods and a full stock of medications can help to keep you safe and healthy during power outages. During peak cold and flu season, it is smart to stay proactive and be prepared for illness and safety risks. Aside from these important lifestyle tips, smaller daily activities like washing your hands, disin-fecting household items, and getting enough sleep can also make a difference in protecting you against germs. Seniors should take extra care when it is cold outside and consult with your doctor regarding diet, exercise, and other concerns you may have about staying healthy this winter.
