IT'S A MARDI GRAS CELEBRATION

What is Mardi Gras? "Mardi Gras" is French for "Fat

Tuesday", the day before Ash Wednesday and the end of

the Carnival season. Basically it's one gigantic party before

the somber season of Lent. Most people know it through

the gigantic parades and loud parties in the heart of the

French Quarter of New Orleans. Liquor flows freely and

beads are thrown by the handful. Here in Tucson we will

create our own style of Mardi Gras Party complete with the

music of The River Road Ramblers. Put on your mask, enjoy

a hurricane and beignet (pastry served during Mardi Gras)

and join us for the best party in Tucson. It will take place

on Tuesday, February 25 at 6pm in the Lobby.

LIVING WELL

Tips for Healthy Aging

Stay activeStay active: Regular exercise is one of

the greatest keys to physical and mental

well being. Living an active life will help

you stay fit enough to maintain your

independence.

Eat healthy foodsEat healthy foods: Eat nutrient-dense

foods like fruits, vegetables and whole-

grain foods. Avoid sweet, salty and

highly processed foods.

Cultivate your relationships:Cultivate your relationships: Maintain

communication with your family and

friends. Schedule regular time to meet

with friends and family. Stay engaged

with others who share a common

interest.

Get enough sleepGet enough sleep: Humans can go longer

without food than without sleep. We

need just as much sleep as younger

adults – seven to nine hours per night.

Lack of sleep can cause irritability,

increased fall risk and memory

problems. Establish a regular bedtime

routine. Keep your bedroom dark and

noise-free— avoid watching television or

using electronic devices while in bed.

Limit caffeine late in the day.

Practice prevention:Practice prevention: To prevent illness,

get a yearly flu vaccine and wash your

hands after using the restroom and

before handling food. To prevent

falls wear appropriate footwear, get

your vision checked, take vitamin D and

calcium. Also include some form of

exercise in your daily routines.
