Can Healthy Snacks Taste Good Too?

Can Healthy Snacks Taste Good Too?

Can Healthy Snacks Taste Good Too?

By Mike Cooper

As we celebrate National Nutrition Month, we want to talk about snacks, specifically healthy snacks. Who doesn’t love salty chips, crackers with cheese or a tasty dip? But can you really have just one? Probably not – and that’s the problem. Those salty snacks can be addicting! I know… I’ve been able to plow through a whole bag in one sitting, and they are not good for you!

Why does snacking have to be bad? Aren’t there any choices that are tasty, satisfying AND good for you? Yes there is! You just have to think about it and make good choices.

Here are a few healthy snacks you can have that are satisfying; without all the salt, fat and preservatives:

  • nuts-768243_640 healthy snacksHummus and Veggies. If you can make your own hummus, that’s even better, but store-bought is good too.  There is less fat than dairy-based dips. Add some fresh veggies like snap peas, sweet peppers, carrots, cukes, celery or broccoli with it and you will have a tasty snack that will fill you up.
  • Go Nuts!  Nuts are a good source of protein; just watch how many you eat because they also have a lot of fat.
  • Protein Smoothie. No, we don’t mean go out to a smoothie shop, either. Those store-bought drinks have way too many calories and sugar. If you can, make your own. It’s easy with some protein powder, plain Greek yogurt, water and some frozen berries or a banana. You’ll get the protein and fiber you need to feel full until dinner!
  • fleet healthy snacksApple Slices with Almond Butter. If you want sweet and salty at the same time, try slicing an apple and add some almond butter to it. It is delish! Fun tip: make little boats with the apple slices, and use a slice of cheese on a toothpick for the sail. Yummy! We did this on Talk Like a Pirate Day!
  • Fresh salsa with corn tortilla chips. Beware of jarred salsa; many of them have added sugar and preservatives. Read the nutrition label before taking something off the shelf. You could look for fresh salsa (or pico de gallo) in your local store or make your own. It will stay fresh for a few days. Tomatoes, red onion, hot peppers (jalapeno, serrano, etc.), cilantro, garlic, lime juice and a dash of salt are all the ingredients you need.  Pair that with corn tortilla chips and you will have a great snack.

Our Members receive a hot noon-time meal and healthy snacks throughout the day.

At Naperville Senior Center, we pride ourselves in the fact that we serve our Members a hot, nutritious noon-time meal as well as healthy snacks during the day. We have fruit cups, applesauce, bananas, apples, oranges, and granola bars available throughout the day.

We know it can be hard for seniors to make their own meals, so we want them to have a great one with us. In the warmer months, we even grow our own herbs and vegetables (with our Members’ help) and serve them at lunch. Our ‘farm to table’ distance is about 20 feet! It doesn’t get more locally-grown than that!

Naperville Senior Center provides a warm, safe environment for your loved one when they can’t safely be on their own during the day. Members are welcome to be as independent as they can safely be while they are with us. In fact, one of our Members drives himself to our center! He could go anywhere he wants, but due to the socialization and other cool things we offer, he chooses to come here a few days a week. We encourage exercise, games and puzzles, singing, clapping, dancing, computer time and a host of other activities to provide mental and physical stimulation for our Members.

Come Visit! To learn more about how NSC can provide a respite for caregivers and a great social environment for your loved one, contact us at 630-857-3017. We invite you to Come Visit, see what we have to offer, and understand the Naperville Senior Center experience, “Home Away From Home.”

Being Happy is Good for Your Health

Being Happy is Good for Your Health

Being Happy is Good for Your Health

By Mike Cooper

happy memberThere have been several studies showing that being happy is good for your health. There is a connection between being happy and optimistic, and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Happy, optimistic people tend to maintain good habits as well – exercising, eating healthy, and getting a good night’s sleep. These things help reduce your risk of heart disease.

Want to be as happy as this member? Here are 5 tips:

  • Be Optimistic. You can be a ‘glass-is-half-empty’ or ‘glass-is-half-full’ kind of person. Choose half-full. It doesn’t cost anything! Try to look on the bright side, even when the negative might overshadow it.
  • meditation-609235_640Breathe. Not just breathing to live, but deep, controlled breaths. Meditating for even 5 minutes a day can help you focus and put you at ease. There are a variety of classes and YouTube videos that can teach you the right way to meditate.
  • Do Something Nice Each Day. It could be for you or for someone else. The act of doing something nice will give you a positive mental boost and will turn that frown upside-down! Sometimes when I have done something nice I hear, “You have done your good deed for the day.” I reply, “There is no daily limit on good deeds.”
  • Get Some Sunlight. Sometimes that is easier said than done in these Chicago winters, but there are plenty of days when the sun is shining. Open the blinds and let the sun in. If you work in an office space with no windows, try to get out and enjoy the sun for even a few minutes – even if you have to sit in your car if it is cold outside. Here at Naperville Senior Center we have several windows to bring in natural light. We think it makes a difference when people can see a beautiful day!
  • Accept Yourself as You Are. Is your nose too big, your hair too curly (or straight), or you wish you could drop those last few pounds? Don’t beat yourself up over it; accept yourself as you are right now. That doesn’t mean you should avoid self-improvement, but take it in stride. Being critical of yourself will take away all the positive things you do for others.

At Naperville Senior Center we strive to bring happiness each day to our Members. We want them to enjoy their time with us through socialization, activities, games and puzzles, exercise and even breaking bread together. We are thrilled when we hear them say they look forward to coming each day; we know we are succeeding!

3 Reasons to Give Your Loved One a Hug Today

3 Reasons to Give Your Loved One a Hug Today

3 Reasons to Give Your Loved One a Hug Today

hug-1-300When was the last time you hugged someone? Today? Yesterday? Last week? You may not even remember; a hug may not seem like something you commit to memory. But a hug is much more powerful than you realize.

In the ‘Rules of a Gentleman,’ rule #276 is ‘Don’t underestimate the power of a hug. It can turn her day around.’ Actually, it can turn ANYONE’S day around!

On National Hug Day, we want to share a 3 reasons why you should give someone a hug today (of course, with their approval!):

 

  • hug-2-300Happiness. When we are in an embrace with someone, a hormone called oxytocin is released, which gives us a feeling of comfort and safety. This neuropeptide promotes feelings of dedication and trust. In other words, we are happier and less stressed.
  • Better Health. Oxytocin is not just good for your mood, but good for your health too. When we are hugged, our heart rate and blood pressure are lowered. When you hug someone, not only will you feel better, but you just might live longer!
  • Older Adults Get More Benefit. The older we are, the more we can benefit from giving – and receiving – a hug. Physical contact with older adults, especially those who are more frail or lonely, can help lower stress and feelings of loneliness. When an older adult is not lonely, their mood improves, their outlook improves, and not surprisingly, their health may improve.

hug-3-300At NSC we engage with our Members all the time, whether we are listening, playing, singing, socializing, or exercising with them. Our Members have the opportunity to colorize, harmonize, hypothesize, verbalize, improvise, evangelize, socialize, exercise, and have fun with us and the other NSC Members throughout the day.

Call to action: contact us to schedule a FREE 3-hour trial at our facility so you can see what we have to offer and understand the Naperville Senior Center experience. It’s like “Home Away From Home,” but with a nurse and therapists in your living room.

Relay for Life 2016 to Benefit American Cancer and Our Members

Relay for Life 2016 to Benefit American Cancer and Our Members

Relay for Life 2016 to Benefit American Cancer and Our Members

Relay for Life 300On Wednesday, June 15th, our Members will be walking, walker-ing and rolling around our custom track during our mini Relay for Life 2016 to benefit the American Cancer Society. Although the relay will benefit ACS, the act of walking – or getting any kind of exercise – will benefit everyone who does it!

At any age, exercise is important part of a healthy life. But it is even more important as adults get older. Even with all of the studies showing that consistent physical activity  is proven to enhance longevity and the quality of life for people of all ages, over 85% of adults are either not regularly active or not active at all!

Exercise can help prevent heart disease and osteoporosis, among others. According to research from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, physical activity, including exercise, can slow the changes in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Those adults in who exercised 5 times a week did better on cognitive tests and had less age-related changes to the brain that are associated with Alzheimer’s.

Below are 4 types of exercise that can help prevent a variety of age-related health issues.*

  1. Relay for Life-Parachute Cardio Exercise300Cardio – this includes activities like walking, swimming, biking, or just doing housework. Any activity that increases your heart rate for an extended period of time can improve your heart health and help you lose weight by increasing your metabolism.
  2. Strength – build muscle and increase your metabolism by lifting light weights.
  3. Balance – can help prevent falls and other accidents by building leg muscles and making older adults more stable on their feet.
  4. Relay for Life-bill-nustep-300Stretching –stretching allows you to increase your flexibility and improve your freedom of movement. This will help you stay more independent in your senior years.

(*Remember, you should always talk with your physician before starting any exercise regimen.)

You can’t control your age, but you can control how well you age. Start exercising now so you can age gracefully!

At NSC, physical activity isn’t just important this one day a year; it is important every day! Whether our Members walk around our track just to take a stroll or for our Relay for Life 2016 event, hop on the stationary bike, use the weights or participate in one of our other activities, we make sure they keep their bodies in motion. We also work on their minds and spirits through socializing, harmonizing, improvising, and just plain having fun!

Call to action: contact us to schedule a FREE 3-hour trial at our facility so you can see what we have to offer and understand the Naperville Senior Center experience. It’s like “Home Away From Home,” but with a nurse and therapists in your living room.

Get Rid of the Winter Blues!

Get Rid of the Winter Blues!

Get Rid of the Winter Blues!

Picture5

Cardio Exercise

The lack of sunshine and longer dark hours can make anyone feel bummed, and ignoring these feelings could worsen the problem and require medical attention for those who develop seasonal affective disorder. Senior adults are especially a concern, considering many are less mobile and less active on their own. Fortunately, there are many tips to help you or a loved one kick their winter blues to the curb.

 

Open the Shades and Blinds

Allowing sunlight to flood the room as much as possible while it is shining is a great way to boost your mood. If the weather permits, going outside for a while each day is another rewarding alternative to being cooped up indoors all winter long.

 

Stay Active

There are many exercises you can do in your own home when it is much too cold to go outside. Cleaning around the house, lifting light weights, and walking are just a few of the various options. It is important that you and your loved ones are staying active during the winter time and are not overeating, which could cause additional health problems.

 

Socialize, Socialize, Socialize!

Especially during the colder months it can become difficult to leave the home and stay connected with friends and family. Socializing improved mental and emotional health and is a helpful reminder that we are all in this winter struggle together! Utilizing social media is an extremely efficient option and is easily navigable for anyone, including Senior adults. Help your loved ones add friends and family members and start chatting!

 

Maintain Health

Ensuring that you are keeping a healthy diet despite the dark and cold temperatures will eliminate unhealthy weight gain that occurs due to increased craving for sweets and a “hibernation” feeling during winter, and improve physical health. As we all know, winter season is also cold and flu season, and being sick makes winter seem even more dreadful. Practicing good hygiene and hand washing is crucial to keeping you and those around you healthy. Make sure to frequently sanitize germ-concentrated areas such as door knobs, railings, and phones/remotes.

 

Have a Positive Outlook

If you change the way you think about winter and incorporate activities that you enjoy each day, your mood will improve. A majority of the sadness we endure in winter is caused by our own thoughts of the cold, and it is important to remember that winter will end and warm months are only getting closer as each day passes. So, stay positive and Spring will be here before we know it!

 

Common signs that you or someone you know is experiencing a case of the winter blues include a general lack of interest in life, increased tiredness, and increased sadness. Practicing these tips can help make winter seem less brutal and improve your overall happiness and well-being, but don’t worry, winter will be over soon enough!

 

Here at Naperville Senior Center we offer a variety of fun activities, crafts, and exercises that are both enjoyable and physically and mentally stimulating. We are currently in the process of an exciting Winter Olympics including shot put (used with bags), biking, walking, and shuffleboard. We sure aren’t letting this frigid weather bring us down!

7 Tips to Convince a Parent to Attend an Adult Day Center

7 Tips to Convince a Parent to Attend an Adult Day Center

7 Tips to Convince a Parent to Attend an Adult Day Center

By Lucy Lazarony  – Adult Day Center

 

Having a place where your parent is able to go during the day for care, rehab services or just socializing can be a godsend for caregiving families. But you may find that your loved one is reluctant to try out an Adult Day Center. We offer seven tips on how to encourage your mom or dad below.

What Are They?

Adult day centers may be located at a hospital, community center or church. They may be run by a nonprofit or a for-profit company. Some provide health care and supervision as well as group activities like crafts, games, exercise and pet therapy. Some specialize in caring for seniors with dementia or other illnesses.

DSC_0092There are more than 5,000 adult day centers across the country with more than 260,000 participants, according to the National Adult Day Services Association. At a cost of up to $118 a day in Illinois, according to the 2015 Genworth Cost of Care survey, they are considerably cheaper than hiring home health aides.

Once you decide which center is best for your parent, the following 7 tips may make the concept of an adult day program more appealing to him or her.

  1. Don’t call it day care. Referring to the programs as “adult day care” may offend some who consider “day care” infantilizing. “Most of them don’t call it adult day care,” says Leah Eskenazi, director of operations for the Family Caregiver Alliance. “They’re going to meet their group. Some people call it going to their club or their class.” At their club or class, there may be yoga, music, movies, art and crafts projects, plus snacks and meals.
  2. DSC_0414Make it fun. Give your parent a fun reason to go. Is there a fantastic arts program? Or another activity that your mother or father would really enjoy? “The first day, look for a hook,” Eskenazi recommends. “Is there a trip or an activity they would like? Make sure you plan for the first day so they’re engaged right from the start.”
  3. Encourage your parent to volunteer. If mom or dad seems lukewarm on going to a day center, you might say: ‘They could use your help as a volunteer,” Eskenazi says. Of course, check with the center first.
  4. l1 member computerAsk a professional to step in. If you and your parent just aren’t seeing eye-to-eye on attending a day center, you may wish to reach out to a third party for help. Your mother or father may go willingly if a doctor or a social worker offers the suggestion. At Alzheimer’s Community Care, which runs 10 dementia-specific adult day centers in South Florida, a family nurse consultant will often encourage a parent to attend a day center when an adult child is having no luck. Once through the door, he or she is often happy to be there. “We hear these stories all the time,” says Kathleen Herd, vice president of development for the organization. In one case, the family nurse consultant drove the mother right to the day center. “Her face lit up. Here was her peer group and she didn’t even know she was missing it,” says Mary Barnes, executive director of Alzheimer’s Community Care.
  5. Cardio ExerciseStart with a short schedule. Don’t ask a parent to stay too long at a day center on the first day. “Make it short. Make it easy. Don’t make someone stay the whole day,” Eskenazi says. Don’t overwhelm a parent by booking too many days early on. Keep the schedule as light as possible. “Start with maybe one or two days per week. I would recommend someone starting an adult day center with a shorter schedule and then working up to more days and more hours over time,” Eskenazi says. Be supportive. If a day center is a positive experience for a parent, be upbeat and positive and encourage him or her to attend. “Let them decide if they want more days,” Eskenazi says.
  6. Expect a few complaints. It may take a parent a little bit of time to adjust to attending a day center. And you may hear some kvetching during that transition. For example, a parent might complain, “There are too many old people here!” “You might say, ‘They could use a little young blood there‘” Eskenazi suggests. Be patient during the adjustment period. NSC 091515a“It often takes several visits to an adult day center for a new person to feel comfortable in a new setting and new routine,” Barnes says. “The ideal situation [in their eyes] is for them to be with you, and you can’t do it 24/7. Ask the staff for help in making the transition from home to the day center.” A parent with a neurocognitive disorder may be insecure about new experiences. But if you are a strong proponent for the day center, a parent may feel more comfortable attending.
  7. Use good judgment. If a parent just needs a little encouragement to attend a day center, keep encouraging. But if a day center just isn’t working out for your parent, take a step back for a while. “Sometimes, it doesn’t work. Sometimes, the person is not in the right place. You can’t pressure somebody,” Eskenazi suggests. “Step back and wait a month or two and try again.”

If you want your parent or loved one to check out Naperville Senior Center, just contact us to schedule a quick tour or a FREE 3-hour trial at our facility so you can see what we have to offer and understand the Naperville Senior Center experience, “Home Away From Home”.
