Leaving a LegacyAugust is “What

Will Be YourLegacy? Month.”Have you everthought aboutwhat kind of legacyyou will leave? Youprobably have

already made a bigger impact inthe lives of your loved ones thanyou realize. Here are some waysyou can continue to build a legacythat future generations willappreciate and cherish.

Knowledge, skills and hobbies.Consider teaching a familymember or friend somethingyou’re passionate about, whetherit’s sewing, gardening,woodworking or bird-watching.Whenever they participate in thatsame activity, they will rememberyou introducing them to it andthe time spent together.

Recipes. Food brings peopletogether, and every family hastraditional favorites. Write downthe recipes you’re known for soyour loved ones will have themfor years to come and think of youwhen enjoying them.

A positive attitude. Everybodyfaces challenges in life, but youcan set a good example byembracing change and alwayslooking for a silver lining. Treatevery day as a gift, and let others

see you enjoy both big and smallblessings.

Love and kindness. Perhaps thebiggest legacy you can leavebehind is showing others howmuch you care. Volunteering at acharity, giving comforting hugs orsimply being a good friend are allways to leave a legacy of love.

Best wishes to Ruth Fretwell,Patti Evans, Betty Redmon, LilyAlewine, Leona Brown, Bo Davidsonand Patti Evans who arecelebrating birthdays this month.

The Power of FlowersYou’ve probably heard the old

saying “Stop and smell the roses.”Researchers confirm that takenliterally, it’s good advice. Thescent of fresh flowers or floralscents in general can boost yourmood, lower stress and evenencourage friendliness. If youdon’t favor these fragrances,simply taking in the color offlowers can kindle positiveemotions. Pastel-colored varietiestend to make people feel morerelaxed, while bold colors areenergizing.

Physical Activity forOlder Adults

Many people decrease theirexercise as they age but continuingto exercise has definite benefits forolder people. Being fit isimportant to everyone. Flexibilityand stretching, which helpsprovide a full range of motion formuscles and joints, can help youfunction better. Everyday tasksthat are difficult, such as gettingup, walking, tying shoelaces orreaching to a shelf may becomeeasier. When you stay flexible, youalso keep a more natural walkingpattern and decrease your chancesof falling. Most flexibility that isseemingly lost through aging iscaused not only by aging but alsoby inactivity or lack of movement.Aerobic exercise strengthens theheart and reduces the risk ofcoronary artery disease. It can alsoincrease the amount of sleep youget at night and may reduce thetime it takes to fall asleep.

Strengthening exercises canhelp you maintain your muscles,strengthen bones, and protectknees and other joints. Theseexercises may include, resistancetraining, such as lifting wights,and weight bearing such aswalking, jogging or dancing.

Your physical activity does nothave to be strenuous. Older adultscan gain significant healthbenefits with a moderate amountof physical activity. This can bedone in longer sessions ofmoderately intense activities suchas walking or in shorter sessionsof more vigorous activities such asfast walking or stair walking. Youcan benefit from physical activityeven if you think of yourself aselderly or you already have oldage conditions such asosteoarthritis or heart disease.Being more active may improveyour quality of life and canprevent or delay disability.

It is advisable to talk to yourdoctor before starting a fitnessprogram. You may have healthproblems that limit what youcan do.

At Belmont Village we have aPhysical Fitness Program availablefor all residents with consentsfrom their doctor. The program islead by an instructor for 45minute sessions Monday throughFriday in the activity room. Youmay also utilize one of theexercise videos provided by us onyour own time or on Saturdaymornings in the activity room onour large flat screen television.Some videos available to youinclude Tai Chi and Sit & Stretch.We also have exercise equipmentavailable at the Center for LifeEnhancement for use whensupervised by a personal trainer.
