Do you know that embracing a healthy lifestyle promotes
brain health as well? This month we embark on our quarterly Alive in All Season
theme of Healthy Aging: Let Wellbeing Thrive. Throughout April we will focus on
brain health and encouraging you to Believe in Yourself. We will learn more
about how physical health and exercise, diet and nutrition, cognitive activity,
and social engagement can help keep both your body and brain healthy and
potentially reduce your risk of cognitive decline. At the 2014 Alzheimer’s
Association International Conference, results of a two-year clinical trial of
older adults at risk for cognitive impairment showed that a combination of
physical activity, nutritional guidance, cognitive training, social activities
and management of heart health risk factors slowed cognitive decline. It’s
never too late to make changes to achieve a healthier lifestyle.
Join us this month as we expand our knowledge of brain
health and take steps to boost our brain health through our Healthy Brain
series featuring our Daily Brain Builders and Wii Games designed to promote
cognitive activity. Continue your research by perusing our Healthy Aging
Resource Library, filled with volumes of information to help you and your loved
ones age well. And, don’t forget to join us for our Brain Healthy Luncheon
where we will nourish mind, body and soul. We look forward to sharing this
month of healthful thinking and encouragement to Believe in Yourself – you can
do this!
Our fabulous April 2016 events in Louisville, CO at Juniper
Village at Louisville include our:
§
Way to Grow in Our Community Garden because one
of the beautiful benefits of Juniper is our courtyard, an essential tool to
complete a balanced experience for our residents, being able to watch the baby
birds in spring, and enjoy the harvest of our vegetable garden, gives one a
sense of ownership and involvement, and this year we are inviting our friends
and family to launch our planting season since many of you have a great amount
of knowledge that we could use in our very own back yard, and we will also be
serving fruit salads and refreshments on April 5th from 3:30 pm to
5:00 pm.
§
Food for the Brain Luncheon for a delicious
brain healthy lunch prepared right here at Juniper by our wonderful chefs with
a menu that will feature baked Mediterranean salmon, quinoa sliders and fresh
berry and granola parfaits, plus each attendee will be going home with a brain
health gift box on April 22nd at noon.
§
Be Aware for Better Care a spectacular
collaboration with some of the communities most knowledgeable in the field of
senior care, so join us in this enlightening community event where you will
have the pleasure of learning about alternative therapies for better care as
you will also learn about what tools we are using that enable a successful
dementia care experience, and brain healthy treats such as salmon, couscous,
quinoa and hummus will be served on April 28th from 4:30 pm to 6:00
pm.
We look forward to sharing our April 2016 events in Louisville,
CO at Juniper Village at Louisville with you as you Believe in Yourself.
