As a child, you may have had•to make your bed every single morning and couldn't•leave for
school until you did. Why? Nobody saw it and your bed just got all messed up again when you
went to sleep at night, right?
Admiral William McRaven was recently interviewed by Charlie Rose on this exact topic. Admiral
Making the Bed Each Morning
McRaven had served as a Navy SEAL in the past. In this interview, McRaven told of his
morning habit that his mother had instilled into him as a child that his bed had to be made, and
he had to make it every morning. She taught him how to bring the blankets smoothly over the
entire bed and how to place the pillow•properly on the bed to finish this task. His mother was a
Texas school teacher and his father was an Air Force Officer.
He said he didn't grasp the importance of the simple task of making his bed in the morning until
he was in SEAL training where they were required not only to make the bed, but that it had to
be done exactly by their standards in order to pass inspection. This inspection, in conjunction
with the uniform inspection, was performed every single morning. Solidifying and reinforcing his
childhood training, this inspection procedure was taking the required excellence in daily tasks to
a whole new level.
McRaven said the lesson learned here was to do the first task of the day and to do it right. Then
you could move on to the next task, always implementing the same attitude and mental fortitude
in completing the task. There are very few who qualify for the level of
discipline that is required by the strict standards in the SEAL training.
It's training for the highest and most mentally and physically taxing
part of the military. It requires a high level of individual self-discipline
and it starts right there - with individual self-discipline.
Health
Corner
Nutrition has a direct effect on the quality of your life and thinking that good nutrition costs a fortune is
a misnomer. There are many reasons why adults should pay close attention to their nutritional needs.
Proper nutrition ensures a balanced energy intake and this means the body does not have to store extra
body fat. Extra body fat is responsible for serious health problems such as strokes, heart attacks, high blood
pressure due to hindered blood vessels, osteoporosis and more.
Healthy nutrition also helps in warding off from various ailments while poor nutrition can cause ill health
and suppress immune function.
Nutrient-rich (or nutrient-dense) foods contain a lot of vitamins and minerals and few calories. They also
are low in sugar, sodium, starches, and bad fats. Your body needs vitamins and minerals, known as
micronutrients. They nourish your body and help keep you healthy. They can reduce your risk for chronic
diseases. Getting them through food ensures that your body can absorb them properly.
Choose a diet made up of nutrient-rich foods. Try to eat a variety of foods to get different vitamins and
minerals. Foods that naturally are nutrient-rich include fruits and vegetables. Lean meats, fish, whole
grains, dairy, legumes, nuts, and seeds also are high in nutrients.

Richard Schwab
Richard Schwab was born to parents Phillip Edgar Schwab
and mother Ruth Narum on September 12, 1927, in Little Falls,
MN, the same town where the historic aviator Charles
Lindbergh was raised. Richard’s father worked hatching
chickens, and his mother was a schoolteacher and office
worker. Richard had three brothers, and describes his brother
Phillip as his closest friend and comrade. Richard says they had
such similar life experiences, thoughts, and says, “how lucky could I be to be born into the same
family!?”
Richard and his family lived in various places in Minnesota, and he then traveled to join the
Navy Air Corps in Cleveland, Ohio. In virtually that same breath, the Allied forces brought the
war to an end in 1945, and Richard went on to attend the Case Institute of Technology (now Case
Western Reserve University). He then moved to Kentucky to attend the University of Louisville
and recalls marching (as part of the Navy Air Corps) into the racetrack as part of the ceremonies at
the Kentucky Derby!
Having completed his studies in Louisville, Richard was accepted to Harvard in Cambridge,
MA, where he received his PhD in History. He was now waiting to be drafted into war, and was
denied several offers of employment by universities because of his draft status before being told
he was too old at the age of twenty-seven by one military secretary! He was fortuitously chosen by
the UC Davis History Department as a professor, which led to a long and lustrous career spanning
four decades.
He and his wife Sonya had three children, one a career geologist with the Forest Service who
has the rare specialty of being in charge of overseeing and managing caves –and the bats that
inhabit them! Richard proudly calls him Batman! His other son is a junior high teacher in
Fairfield, and his daughter is a nurse. Richard has four wonderful grandchildren.
Some of Richard’s fondest memories are centralized around his passion and love for exploring,
hiking, working and camping in Glacier National Park in Montana’s Rocky Mountains. He was
able to hike and summit many of the peaks there, and describes it as a “family religion.” His
family and many friends continue the tradition! He also describes a trip to Kenya in Africa with
his son Mark’s Peace Corps tour as being an unmatched experience.
Richard states that kindness is the greatest of human virtues, and to be kind above all. He
describes himself, and has been described by others, as a gentleman, humorous, peaceful,
conversationalist, hard worker, and humane. Richard says that he is “a punster”, and that “puns are
the highest form of wit!” He enjoys classical music, blues, and opera. He likes almost any pasta
dish, and bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches! One of his favorite movies is Treasure of the
Sierra Madre.
Richard says the best thing about living at the Carlton is that everyone is kind, and it has well-
chosen personnel!

By age 65, people who haven’t engaged in regular exercise may incur a decrease
in their physical muscular strength level by as much as 80%. Muscle strengthening
and balance exercises can reduce the risk of falls up to 45%. Live 2 B Healthy’s
preventative exercise programs focus on improving strength, balance, and mobility.
Remaining physically active in exercise before an injury or illness occurs, greatly
reduces the chance of needing physical therapy or restorative exercise programs
later to recover from an injury or fall. Functional decline in the elderly is often the
result of a sedentary lifestyle, rather than the effects of the normal aging process.
According to the U.S. Department of Aging, fitness programs can be
effectively used to achieve the following goals for seniors:
● Lessen the degree of disability for
seniors
● Increase muscular strength and
endurance which deteriorates
through inactivity
● Improve joint flexibility and range
of motion by keeping them loose
and flexible
● Strengthen bone mass which is
weakened in later stage by osteo-
porosis
There is always one consistent finding in health research: Exercise helps you live
longer and better. Live 2 B Healthy is dedicated to helping seniors remain strong
and healthy to keep them mobile and active throughout their aging years. Keeping
seniors actively involved in preventative exercise programs will reduce their risks
of becoming ill, or experiencing a fall or injury. Regular exercise in seniors also aids
in slowing down the aging process, and reducing the need of drug treatments.
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start
today and make a new ending.” ~Maria R., Live 2 B Healthy Participant
