We close this quarter’s theme of Healthy Aging: “Let
Wellbeing Thrive” with a focus on Food, as we Live in Wellness through our June
2015 events in Louisville, CO at Juniper Village at Louisville. Hippocrates
advises, “Let food be thy medicine”. Research shows that eating a well-planned,
balanced mix of foods every day has many health benefits such as reducing the
risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, bone loss, some kinds of
cancer, and anemia. But, food has other benefits. There are also emotional
needs that are satisfied by food. Most of us have fond memories of food from
days gone by. Whether it was our mom's homemade chocolate chip cookies, a
hotdog from a street vendor or our wedding cake, food has a way of transporting
us back to the past. It is in that spirit that Juniper’s dining program is
called the H’art and Soul of Dining. The philosophy is that we impart spirited
service, companionship and nourishment through the sharing of good food. In
addition to meeting our resident’s unique nutritional needs, we also meet their
emotional and social needs as well.
Join us for our June 2015 events in Louisville, CO at
Juniper Village at Louisville to share in our hydration program, complete with
healthy snacks and learn more about healthy food and wellness with our
dietitian presentations as we continue to Live in Wellness.
Our fabulous June 2015 events in Louisville, CO at Juniper
Village at Louisville include our:
§
Dads and Donuts for our Delightful Dads because
they were very often the first to teach us how to ride a bike, throw a baseball
or drive a car, and although we appreciate them all throughout the year, it’s
nice to have a day just for them, so we will have a decadent array of pastries
to eat, and a photo opportunity with an authentic old fashioned car to remember
the good times on June 13th at 10:30 am.
§
Summer Picnic Kickoff because it’s time to start
the summer right, and what better way to do that than great food and a live
blue grass band, plus flip flops, water melon and good ol’ fried chicken, so
grab your sunblock and join us for some afternoon fun here at Juniper Village
at Louisville on June 18th at noon.
§
Food on a Stick because we've designated a day
of pure delight with nothing but food that’s prepared on a stick, so come join
in as our cooks get creative with this fabulous invention, and make sure you
arrive with an appetite, and don’t be surprised if you run into Freckles or
Twinkles clowning around on June 22nd at 2:30 pm.
We hope to see you at one or more of our June 2015 events in
Louisville, CO at Juniper Village at Louisville!
