Missing our Friends

As 2020 comes to a close, we want to take a moment and remember those who have touched our lives but are no longer with us.

If you know of participants who is not on this list, please contact your senior center to inform us of their passing.

C 4C 01-2067 Volunteers Needed

We need volunteers! Your generous time will provide meaningful support for the seniors we serve. We are currently in need of the following volunteers:

Daily Meal Service – this volunteer would help with getting lunches ready for pick up, carrying meals to curbside, checking names, and providing a smile for older adults receiving a meal. We practice safety protocols and masks are required. Volunteer would need to commit to 2 hours, one or two times per week, from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm, Monday- Friday.

Wellness Calls – Many of the seniors who normally attend our five centers are isolated and lonely because of COVID-19. We make routine calls to see how they are doing and to see if they have any basic needs such as additional food, medicines, or transportation. But most of all we give them a friendly connection to the outside world. This position is 1-2 hours per week, anytime between 9 am and 4 pm, Monday-Friday and can be done from home. Please note, home internet is required for this position.

Intergenerational Program – we are partnering with Starms Early Childhood Center to provide virtual programming helping students with a simple craft/coloring project. This volunteer opportunity would include cutting materials and then sorting and bagging craft pieces. This project will be monthly and craft materials can be picked up at your local senior center, organized at home, then returned to the center.

National Handwashing Awareness Week

Ever wonder where the obsession with handwashing came from. Well, there is a lot history behind our dirty hands!

400 BC - The ancient Greek historian Thucydides is the first to suggest that disease can spread from one person to another.

1546 - Germ theory begins. Italian scholar and poet Girolamo Fracastoro suggests that epidemics are caused by small particles or “spores” that can be transmitted from one person to another.

1807 - Italian entomologist Agostino bassi discovers that microorganisms can cause disease.

1818 - Ignaz Philipp Seemelweis was born in Hungary. He was a pioneer in and advocate for antiseptic procedures.

1860 - A breakthrough safety process begins. Frenchman Louis Paster begins researching causes and prevention of disease, leading to his breakthroughs in vaccination and what came to be known as pasteurization.

1980s - The 1980s represented a landmark in the evolution of concepts of hand hygiene in health care when the first national hand hygiene guidelines were published.

Do it right Experts recommend washing your hands with soap and clean water for at least 20 seconds. Get a good lather going and clean the back of the hands, between the fingers and under the nails. Dry using a clean towel. There is a lot of science behind these recommendations, so be sure to follow them each time you wash your hands.

Memorize the five steps The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls hand washing "a do-it-yourself vaccine". Wet, lather, scrub, rinse, dry.

Learn the Four Principles of Hand Awareness Endorsed by the American Medical Association

1) Wash your hands when they are dirty and before eating; 2) Do not cough into hands; 3) Do not sneeze into hands; and 4) Don't put your fingers in your eyes, nose or mouth.

Fad Diets

Dieting. How did that word make you feel? Most people will start a diet in their life time but few will ever finish one. This is because “dieting” sets you up for failure before you have even begun. A diet is a set period of time and is nev- er intended to last forever. What happens when the diet is finished? Will you go back to eating the way you used to? Will you gain the weight back? Asking yourself these questions is critical if you want to be successful with your nutrition! Let’s take a look at a few popular diets and what’s bad about them. Low Carb Diets: Carbohydrates are converted into glucose, once digested, and is the only form of energy the brain uses. Your body is able to break down fat and protein into glucose but the process is more time consum- ing. Restricting carbs leads to moodiness, fogginess, and fatigue. A recipe for disaster. Juicing Cleanses: Your digestive system is self-cleansing and a big salad would be a more productive “cleanser” than juice. Juice also has a lot of sugar in it, the exact opposite of what we want in our diet. Sugar crashes combined with a lack of hearty protein is again not sustainable. Go for making your own smoothie in the morning, with the fruit skin and protein powder to substitute your breakfast or if on-the-go. Diets that restrict a food group or limit you to only one food group: Vitamins and minerals are found throughout the food pyramid and all of them should be eaten to get the proper nutrition your body needs. Eating one food group exclusively could lead to nutrition deficiencies and major cravings! The main thing in all of these diets is that they are not sustainable and that is exactly how you fail at the Weight loss game. These diets make you feel bad and force you to limit things you love. We need to focus on changing our entire lifestyle because nutrition is much more dynamic than following a single rule. Let’s look at some lifestyle changes that we should be focusing on to change the way we eat in a natural way, instead of going on a diet that will have us back where we started a few weeks after we end it: • Find out your Daily Caloric intake and stick to eating that many of calories every day. (SOA has an excellent video on our Facebook page about this). • Have a source of lean protein and fiber with every meal to keep you fuller for longer. •Don’t juice your fruits, always blend. •Remove as many foods with added sugar that you can. •Healthy fats help you lose weight, don’t ignore your avocados and peanut butter! •Exercise + Good Nutrition is like 1+1=5.

MEDITATION MOMENT

Contentment An investment banker was taking a much-needed vacation in a coastal village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. The boat had several large, fresh fish in it. The investment banker was impressed by the quality of the fish and asked the fisherman how long it took to catch them.

The fisherman replied, “Only a little while.” The banker then asked why he didn’t stay out longer and catch more fish? The fisherman replied he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs. The banker then asked, “But what do you do with the rest of your time?”

The fisherman replied, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a nap with my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my friends: I have a full and busy life.”

The investment banker scoffed, “I am an Ivy League MBA, and I could help you. You could spend more time fishing and with the proceeds buy a bigger boat, and with the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats until eventually, you would have a whole fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to the middleman you could sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You could control the product, processing and distribution.” Then he added, “Of course, you would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to the city where you would run your growing enterprise.”

The fisherman asked, “But sir, how long will this all take?” To which the banker replied, “15–20 years.” “But what then?” asked the fisherman.

The banker laughed and said, “That’s the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You could make millions.” “Millions? Then what?”

To which the investment banker replied, “Then you would retire. You could move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take a nap with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine, and play your guitar with your friends.” 16 | MEDITATION MOMENT
