Tai Chi Is For Me

As we celebrate this month with “Mental Fitness” we are proud to share our progress in our Tai Chi class. Our residents look forward to this rewarding program. They have seen the improvement in many ways and are benefiting from this low impact relaxing form of exercise. Dorothy is always the first one to arrive for class. She shared that she has memorized the movements and has found this class to be extremely valuable to her. Our instructor, Mark, has been remarkable with educating our residents on how much of an impact “Tai Chi” can have. It can relieve physical effects of stress and also promotes deep breathing. It also improves lower body and leg strength and can help with arthritis pain, not to mention it helps reduces blood pressure. We “Thank You” Mark for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with our residents. 

2015 Successful Outcomes

April 2016 Events in Cape Coral, FL: Believe in Yourself

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!
