1978-2018: Celebrating 40 years of service to CPA communities!

March is National Nutrition Month!

Making healthy food choices is a smart thing to do—no matter how old you are! Your body changes through your 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond. Food provides nutrients you need as you age. Use these tips from the National Institute on Aging to choose foods for better health at each stage of life.

1. Drink plenty of liquids With age, you may lose some of your sense of thirst. Drink water often. Low-fat or fat-free milk or 100% juice also helps you stay hydrated. Limit beverages that have lots of added sugars or salt. Learn which liquids are better choices.

2. Make eating a social event

Meals are more enjoyable when you eat with others. Invite a friend to join you or take part in a potluck at least twice a week. A senior center or place

News from the Community Partnership on Aging

Executive Director, Wendy Albin Sattin

Although Punxsutawny Phil the groundhog is predicting lots more winter for us this year, March at the Community Partnership promises to be warm and friendly. Join us for Café Lunch in Highland Heights, movies in Mayfield Village, book club in South Euclid, A Matter of Balance sessions in Mayfield Heights and Scrabble at Lyndhurst. Don’t forget Forty Years of Glitz and

Glam on March 20th, our annual fashion show with Ursuline College (and first day of spring!). Check in this month’s newsletter for more information about all of these fun activities.

Did you know that CPA offers a program called Safe-At-Home that provides residents in our member cities to receive minor modifications to their homes in order to remain safely independent? Modifications may include grab bars for showers, baths and other transitional areas; transition strips; motion detector lights; carpet stretching; hand-held shower faucets; hand rails; and more. Thanks to your generosity in supporting CPA’s Five City, Five Alarm Chili Cook Off, we have funds to assist financially eligible older residents to access the benefits of Safe-At-Home. Give the office a call at 216-291-3902 to learn more about the program.

Whether the month of March means getting out and spending time with friends or getting some home improvement projects underway, CPA is there for you!

Community Partnership on Aging ~11~ March 2018

Continued from Page 1 of worship may offer meals that are shared with others. There are many ways to make mealtimes pleasing.

3. Plan healthy meals - Find trusted nutrition information and more from www.ChooseMyPlate.gov and the National Institute on Aging. Get advice on what to eat, how much to eat, and which foods to choose, all based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

4. Know how much to eat - Learn to recognize how much to eat so you can control portion size. When eating out, pack part of your meal to eat later. One restaurant dish might be enough for two meals or more.

5. Vary your vegetables - Include a variety of different colored vegetables to brighten your plate. Most vegetables are a low-calorie source of nutrients. Vegetables are also a good source of fiber.

6. Eat for your teeth and gums - Many people find that their teeth and gums change as they age. People with dental problems sometimes find it hard to chew fruits, vegetables, or meats. Don’t miss out on needed nutrients! Eating softer foods can help. Try cooked or canned foods like unsweetened fruit, low-sodium soups, or canned tuna.

7. Use herbs and spices - Foods may seem to lose their flavor as you age. If favorite dishes taste different, it may not be the cook! Maybe your sense of smell, sense of taste, or both have changed. Medicines may also change how foods taste. Add flavor to your meals with herbs and spices.

8. Keep food safe - Don’t take a chance with your health. A food-related illness can be life threatening for an older person. Throw out food that might not be safe. Avoid certain foods that are always risky for an older person, such as unpasteurized dairy foods. Other foods can be harmful to you when they are raw or undercooked, such as eggs, sprouts, fish, shellfish, meat, or poultry.

9. Read the Nutrition Facts label - Make the right choices when buying food. Pay attention to important nutrients to know as well as calories, fats, sodium, and the rest of the Nutrition Facts label. Ask your doctor if there are ingredients and nutrients you might need to limit or to increase.

10. Ask your doctor about vitamins or supplements - Food is the best way to get nutrients you need. Should you take vitamins or other pills or powders with herbs and minerals? These are called dietary supplements. Your doctor will know if you need them. More may not be better. Some can interfere with your medicines or affect your medical conditions.

Speaking of getting social - participants at a recent Lunch ‘N’ Movie in Mayfield Village pose for a picture while enjoying good conversation

and good food!
