Those Were the Days

Eating a hot home-cooked meal, doing a little exercise and chatting with

people who share many of your own interests will lift your spirits and

improve your physical health.

But don’t just take my word for it. This is your invitation to come in and

see what’s going on.

We are having a great time and want you to be part of it! Kerry

Remember when you could hardly wait for the sun to come

up so you could visit your friends? Remember when the best

games you played were fun because they were simple and

anyone could join in?

If you have dropped in to our

Center lately then you have likely

noticed the ever-increasing and

jovial crowd we draw in to our

classes, games and daily meals. If

you haven’t been in for a while

you might wonder

What’s the excitement all about?

Remember when it was

cool to lose your teeth

and nobody cared how

your hair looked?

Open our March Newsletter and you will see we serve your

favorite meals, hold exercise classes where everyone is

welcomed and able to participate, show favorite movies, do

crafts, play cards, dominoes and share puzzles. And, just

like the good old days, you don’t have to do the shopping,

cooking or clean-up after you eat and play.

The Science Behind Seasons Spring! March 20 or so is the official start of the spring season, which means the days and nights are the

same length over the entire earth (it’s the start of Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere). It’s called the

spring “equinox”, which comes from Latin for “equal night.” After this date, the days will get longer until

the summer “solstice” (or the longest day of the year). Sunlight decreases until the autumn equinox (day

and night are equal). The days continue to get shorter until the winter solstice (with a meaning of “sun

stand still” in Latin), with the shortest duration of sunlight all year.

How does this work and why does this happen? The earth’s axis is tilted 23 degrees from vertical, giving us

our change of day/night length and our seasons. The picture below shows how it works.

“Newmont Legacy Pledge 2018”

Thank you Newmont

Legacy Fund.

This pledge, combined with

all you have done for us over

the past years, totals over

$500,000 in contributions to

The Elko Senior Activity

Programs.

Your partnership means the

world to us!

Gratefully,

Kerry Aguirre- Director

During the equinoxes, the poles tilt so that every

spot on Earth receives the same hours of nighttime

and daytime. In our summer, the North Pole tilts

toward the sun resulting in longer days and more

intense sunshine. In our winter, the North Pole tilts

away from the sun, resulting in shorter days and less

intense sunlight. (A curious thing about this: in our

summer, the earth is further AWAY from the sun and in our winter the Earth is CLOSER to the sun.

Distance from the sun does not cause seasons - it’s the tilt of our planet!) Directly at the poles, complete

darkness or light repeats every six months.

Aging Well There are many things you can do to help yourself age well: exercise, be physically active, and make healthy food choices. But did you know that participating in activities you enjoy may also help support healthy aging? As people get older, they often find themselves spending more and more time at home alone. The isolation can lead to depression and is not good for your health. If you find yourself spending a lot of time alone, try volunteering or add one of our social activities to your routine.

Get a MyPlate refresher this fall! MyPlate is a visual reminder to find your healthy eating style and build it throughout your lifetime. The right mix can help you be healthier now and in the future.

Reach your nutrition goals To help you achieve your nutrition goals, try using the tips below.

TIP OF THE MONTH

5 fun ways to

Get Fit and Get Flexible

How far up can you lift your arm? How close can you get to touching your toes? The

answer depends on your flexibility, or your range of motion at any joint. Some of your

joints may be more flexible than others. No matter how flexible you are now, you can

improve at any age. Fun activities done once or twice per week can help. Flexibility

helps prevent injuries and puts a bounce in your step.

1. Yoga Yoga is 5,000 years old, but its benefits are

very modern. Yoga can increase flexibility

and reduce stress. It is good for bodies of

any age. It’s best to start with a few classes

from a certified yoga teacher. You can find

classes at yoga centers, fitness clubs and

hospitals. Many DVDs are also available.

These often are made for special audiences.

Beginners or people with arthritis and back

problems can find DVDs specially made for

them.

2. Pilates A German gymnast created Pilates exercises

about 100 years ago. In some ways, Pilates is

like yoga. The exercises focus on breathing,

strength in the core muscles and flexibility.

Pilates classes might move at a faster pace

than yoga. Many classes mix yoga and

Pilates. Look for classes taught by a certified

instructor or on DVD.

3. Tai chi Tai chi comes from China. It has been

around for hundreds of years. Tai chi is

good for any one. It doesn’t matter if you

are athletic, sedentary or elderly. You can

modify tai chi to meet your goals. So it is

really great for older people and people with

a disability. The exercises help your

balance, posture and strength. Your

flexibility, coordination and concentration

will also improve. You can find DVDs and

online instructions for tai chi, but it may be

best to learn it from a certified instructor. See page 6 & 7 on our Tai Chi Classes.

4. Dance All types of dance can help with flexibility.

Just remember to be safe! Stretch joint

muscles, tendons and ligaments slowly. Over

time, you will become more flexible. Choose

the type of dance that fits your rhythm and

style. You may already know the steps. If

not, learn them from a certified instructor.

Injuries are no fun.

5. Swimming If you have joint pain, the pool may be a

good option. Water exercises or water

aerobics can be a safe way to work on

flexibility. This is because the water provides

support. It makes it easier to move tender or

older joints. Work with a certified,

experienced instructor. This will help to

prevent further problems. Back-to-Basics
