Andrew’s CornerBuild Away!
There comes a time in the lifeof every building when thecontractors need to be called andchanges need to be made.Sometimes those changes areminor, and require what we call“window dressing”. Other times,the changes are more involvedand require remodeling efforts.Still, other times those changes aremassive in nature, and require atotal face lift.
At Belmont Village of San Jose,we are just beginning to makesome changes to our building thismonth. By the time this letter is inprint, work should have started torefresh the area known asJosephine’s Kitchen. Flooring,window treatments, paint, andnew light fixtures will serve tobrighten up the space where we allcongregate three times a day toshare a meal. I am personallylooking forward to seeing whatcolors and textures have beenchosen.
Another building project in2015 which I will label as“remodeling,” will be taking placeon the fifth floor. The plan is toturn the beauty shop sideways (45degrees), and to also construct anew room that will run parallel tothe new beauty shop. This newlycreated room will be used for the
Circle Of Friends program. Theoffice of the Building Engineercurrently located on the fifth floorwill be moving to the basement,while the office of the ActivityProject Coordinator will move tothe fourth floor. Common usecomputers will also be moving,from the lobby area of the fifthfloor down to the lobby area ofthe fourth floor.
Three things I remember about(almost) all building projects: 1)it always takes longer thananticipated; 2) it always costsmore than first expected; and 3)when the project is complete, italways looks more beautiful thanever imagined!
Please pardon our dust andnoise as these building projectsare taking place. Stay tuned forfuture updates as we continue tomake improvements to the spaceswe call HOME.

DRCS NewsDid you know...
Over 30% of cancer could beprevented by avoiding tobacco,alcohol, maintaining a healthydiet, and physical activity.
October is breast cancer month,but cancer is a disease of aging. Aswe age, the risk of getting certaintypes of cancer, such as breast,prostate, pancreatic, lung, bladderand stomach, increases. Due tothe increase in life expectancy,cancer in older adults is becomingincreasingly common. Accordingto the American Cancer Society,77% of all cancers are diagnosedin persons age 55 and older. Someof the challenges in older adultsfor treatment of cancer are:
• Less tolerance for certaincancer treatments includingcapacity to respond.
• Other medical diagnosis inaddition to the cancer.
• Cognition• Functionality such as the
ability to perform basicactivities of daily living.
• Nutrition.• Social environment (access
to transportation, family,caregivers, home safety,finances, etc.)
Older adults with cancer havespecial needs and require expertcare. Geriatric oncologists providecomprehensive cancer care topatients over 70. To determine themost appropriate treatment planfor patients, Comprehensive
Geriatric Assessment (CGA) hasbeen developed in order to ensurea detailed view of an older adult’soverall condition, focusing onfunctional status and quality oflife. Using the CGA allowsphysicians to create an individualtreatment plan, tailoring care toeach patient. In addition, CGA canhelp your physician emphasizethat advanced age alone shouldnot prevent the use of effectivecancer treatment that mayimprove quality of life.

Fitness CornerPreparing for a fall: The role of
muscular strength andmuscular endurance
Osteoporosis is oftenconsidered a silent disease untilafter a fracture, that might be theresult of a fall. Exercise helpspromote muscular strength andmass along with effectivelyincreasing bone mass and bonestrength. But to increase thestrength and mass of bones, thebones must be put under stress,or used. Thus, ACSM reportedthat muscular strengtheningexercises may serve as “valuablemeasures to prevent, slow – oreven reverse – the loss of bonemass in people withosteoporosis
Recommendations for older,very deconditioned, or frailindividuals starting a resistancetraining program:
• Begin with lower resistancebetween 40-50% of a 1repetition max
• Very light - light intensity.• Repetitions: higher and in
the range of 10-20repetitions/set.
As a result of muscularstrengthening exercises, bonedensity remains high with lessprobability of fractures. So it’simportant to continueperforming strengtheningexercises and beginimplementing power workoutsto prevent falls.

Neighborhood & Circleof Friends News
Along with Circle of Friendschocolate-tasting tour thisOctober, here is an interestingarticle about how the Aztecsbelieved the seed to be a gift fromthe God of wisdom. They used thecacao as a form of currency.
Chocolate is not generallyconsidered to be a healthful food.However, chocolate containsnutrients that could be used tomaintain brain health and preventage-related neurodegenerativedisorders such as Alzheimer’sdisease, according to a recentreview paper published in theJournal of Alzheimer’s Disease.
Cocoa extracts contain largequantities of micronutrients knownas polyphenols that have been shownto promote healthy brain aging.
Research has suggested thatchocolate and cocoa could reducethe risk of heart disease.
However, some studies havealso shown that cocoa extractconsumption can help reduceage-related cognitive dysfunctionand assist healthy brain aging.
In these studies, cocoapolyphenols were found to helpreduce the production and assistthe clearance of harmful proteinsthat collect in the brain, such asbeta-amyloid and abnormal tauaggregates. In addition, researchshows dietary polyphenols cancross the blood-brain barrier andreach areas in the brain that arecrucial to the development ofAlzheimer’s disease.
In preventing abnormalaccumulation of harmful proteinssuch as beta-amyloid, cocoapolyphenols could help preventthe loss of synapses in the brainand, therefore, help maintainfunctioning connections betweennerve cells. -Medical News Today
