Healthy Resolutions Dancing, Christmas Ornaments, Pink Glove Boxing & Santa!!

Happy New Year! After the decadence of the holidays one of the most common resolutions made each New Year is dedicated to bettering health by improving diets and increasing exercise.

Health related resolutions tend to start strong and then peter out into the Spring due to high expectations and impossible restrictions. Bettering health is a goal worth keeping all year long. Below are four simple health resolutions that will aid in improving health by improving diet and exercise that are easy to include in your life throughout the year:

Eat More Vegetables

Vegetables and fruits are staples in a well-rounded diet and bring important fibers, enzymes and vitamins to the table. Meal times in our community include the fruits and vegetables that help make a well-rounded diet. When choosing meals make the decision to add vegetables to a favorite dish, start with a salad or enjoy more vegetables as snacks. Just adding in extra vegetables throughout the day can help improve your health by increasing fiber and providing much needed vitamins!

Drink More Water

Good hydration is an essential part of a healthy body. Dehydration can cause issues with bowels, energy levels, kidney function and more. As we age dehydration becomes even more of an issue. Prevent dehydration by drinking water regularly throughout the day. Other beverages may also aid in hydration, but beware of the sugar and caffeine levels and their effects on your health.

Move More

Current health recommendations from the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) state that adults should do

approximately two hours and thirty minutes of moderate activity a week to help maintain a healthy body. The time can be split up throughout the week and doesn't need to be done all at once. The CDC recommends even just short 10 minute spurts of activity to help improve health. We have several opportunities for exercise available to our residents. Join us for Chairobics Mon. and Wed. at 9:30 or Chair exercise Tues. and Thurs. afternoons to get in your exercise for the day!

Visit Your Doctor Regularly

Regular health check-ups can help find problems before they begin and treat problems before they get worse. Schedule regular doctor visits in advance so that you make sure that you are able to get your check -ups when needed. Transportation is available all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays and in the afternoon on Wednesdays. Sign up at the front desk at least 24 hours in advance.

We wish you a happy and healthy new year. Share your 2016 resolutions with our team so that we may help you in reaching your goals!

We are starting 2017 with

Once again Barbara has put together some age statistics regarding the residents here at Bozeman Lodge. These numbers are based on the 110 people that were living in the Bozeman Lodge as of December 2016. The one thing that is constant around here is change so these numbers can change from month to month. The average age of all the residents in the lodge at that time was 87 years and 6 months, this is the same average age as last year! The majority of residents were between 86 and 90 years old. The oldest residents were 100 years old and there were 2 and they are both female. The youngest is a 55 year old female. The most common age

was 90 with thirteen residents of that age! Last year the most common age was 87. The combined total of years of all the residents was 9,637, that’s a

lot of experience! The numbers for the cottage residents are a little different. There were 31 residents living in the cottages as of December 2016. The average age of cottage residents was 81 years and 8 months. The youngest cottage resident was 61 and the oldest was 93 years old. The most common age at the cottages was 89, there were 4 residents of that age. The combined years of life in the cottages equals 2,537 years. So there you have it. Bozeman Lodge residents by the numbers for 2016!
