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 Cape Coral, FL at Juniper Village at Cape Coral. 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 Cape Coral, FL at
Juniper Village at Cape Coral 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
.
