The start of the new year often inspires us to make much-needed changes
in our lives and offers the opportunity for a fresh start. For those wanting
to improve their physical and mental health, the start of a new year
Simple Resolutions to Start the Year
signifies the beginning of positive change. Whether you prefer to set small
goals for yourself or approach each new year as an opportunity for a complete life “makeover,” here
are three simple resolution ideas to help you kick-start the year:
o When it comes to nutrition, eating fresh fruits and vegetables
that are rich in nutrients is the best way to go. Eating fewer processed foods and more fresh foods
will make a huge difference in the way you look and feel. Start eating more fruits, vegetables, lean
meats, and whole grains and gradually increase your consumption of these nutrient-rich foods over
time while decreasing your intake of less healthy alternatives.
o It’s not always easy remaining close to friends and family who
don’t live right down the street. Fortunately, there are many resources you can use to revive
neglected relationships. One of the quickest ways to reconnect is with a simple phone call. Sending
a “thinking of you” card of letter is also a nice way to keep in touch. If you’re technologically savvy,
social media sites like Facebook make it exceedingly easy to stay connected with friends and family
from all around the world.
o As we age, it is important to remain active - both
mentally and physically. The more you use your mind, the better it will function in the long-term.
Read. Do crossword puzzles. Try Sudoku. Socializing also gives your brain a boost. For older adults,
physical activity can be safe and healthy even if you have heart disease, diabetes, or arthritis. In
fact, many of these conditions can improve with mild to moderate physical activity.
Health

It's an acute respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses A or B. While most people who get the flu
recover in a week or two, others can develop severe and potentially life-threatening complications. According
to the Mayo Clinic, those most threatened are children under five and adults older than 65, pregnant
women up to two weeks postpartum, and others with weakened immune systems.
If the flu strikes, stay home. You're sick and highly contagious. Embrace your downtime and heal your
body with it. Curl up on the couch, read, watch TV, and nod off to sleep anytime. Get between seven and
nine hours of sleep every night--your body is fighting a virus.
Drink plenty of fluids for either the flu or a cold. Fluids hydrate your respiratory system and convert thick
mucus into a liquid you can spit out. An expectorant will thin the mucus, too. For congestion, the Mayo
Clinic recommends over-the-counter decongestant tablets like Sudafed and nasal sprays. Studies suggest
they narrow blood vessels in the lining of the nose and help reduce swelling. Of course, consulting your
physician prior to starting any treatment is very important.
Remember that protein is essential to maintaining body strength. Among your best sources for it are lean
meat, poultry, fish, legumes, dairy, eggs, nuts, and seeds. For your cold, recent studies suggest that chicken
soup may indeed degrade its symptoms. Nobody really knows why, but the evidence implies this
time-honored remedy helps subdue inflammation. According to the American College of Chest Physicians,
chicken soup appears to slow the movement of neutrophils, the white blood cells that harbor acute infection.
Tests indicate the vegetables and chicken pieces combine to produce "inhibitory activity." If you try zinc for
a cold, be sure to follow dosage instructions carefully: Harvard Medical School recommends 15-25 mg per day.

RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT
Please welcome to the Community Paul Schmidt! Paul was born in
Oakland, CA, and went to San Jose City College and later San Jose
State University. He was a police officer with San Jose for 30 years,
and after retiring became a reserve officer. Paul was also in the Coast
Guard for a time in the 1960’s. While with the police force, Paul became
a boys and girls soccer coach with PAL (Police Athletic League) and -
despite not knowing anything about soccer when he started out - even-
tually became PAL Coach of the Year. Because Paul is so tall, the girls
on his soccer teams affectionately gave him the nickname, “Big Bird!”
Paul and his wife Carol have been married for 50 years, have one son,
one daughter, and 3 grandsons (two of whom are adopted). Paul and
Carole’s daughter and son in law are missionaries in Strasbourg,
France! Paul was an avid fisherman, loved to camp, and enjoys any-
thing having to do with music. Give a warm hello to Paul Schmidt!Exercise Can Help Ease Depression
Studies by the Centers for
Disease Control & Prevention
(CDC) estimate that 7 million
American adults over the age
of 65 experience depression
each year. Many of these
individuals are at a higher risk as
a result of a sedentary lifestyle
and medication side effects.
Studies have revealed the
positive effects of exercise on
seniors, regardless of gender or
age. The effects are especially
significant in patients with high levels of anxiety and depression. The changes
in levels of anxiety, mood and depression after exercise are most often
explained by:
u A rise in endorphin levels. (Exercise promotes psychological well-being
by increasing the secretion of endorphins, which reduces the sensation of
pain and produce a state of euphoria.)
u Exercise leads to an increase in the availability of brain neurotransmitters
(e.g. serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine) that are diminished with
depression.
u Exercise also increases body temperature and blood circulation to the
brain, both of which help contribute to a rise in an overall feeling of
well-being.
In senior living communities that feature Live 2 B Healthy’s senior fitness
classes, care staff and management report a significant improvement in
socialization, mood, appetite and sleep among those residents who regularly
attend fitness classes. If you or a loved one suspect depression, consult a
professional to rule out other possible causes, but also consider giving our
classes a try. In many cases, just getting out among a group with similar
interests and being physically active can help alleviate the most troublesome
symptoms of depression and put a little extra energy into your day.
