A Note from Shelbi
Welcome to the latest edition of our monthly newsletter! I’m excited to share with you some events and classes going on this month. Health & Wellness will be putting on a Game Show Day! On June 25th at 2:00 pm, I will host a Minute To Win It game show extravaganza. Competitors face 10 challenges that escalate in level of difficulty using everyday household items. Each game has a one-minute time limit, and failure to finish the task on time will eliminate the contestant. The day will include games as seen in the popular TV show Minute To Win It, including: Cotton Ball Scoop, Face the Cookie, Blind Fold Drawing, and so much more. WINNERS WILL BE AWARDED WITH PRIZES! Take the chance and have a little fun and lots of laughter! Come join us for a day full of games from the TV show “MINUTE TO WIN IT”.
As some of you may know, this month is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month. President Ronald Reagan initiated the observance of Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month in 1983 to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s and get people involved in the recognition of the disease and the types of care required by someone suffering from it. You can get involved today by helping yourself and others around you by promoting good mental health. Mental wellness and memory care are an important key to our day-to-day lives. Not only does it keep our mind healthy, but it will keep our body healthy. Here are some good examples of at-home remedies that can help keep your train of thought on those tracks.
Be physically active every day. Physical activity raises blood flow to the whole body, including the brain. Use sticky notes around the house wherever reminders could be helpful, and label cabinets and drawers for contents. Keep a notebook or use a smartphone to help keep track of appointments, dresses, directions and phone numbers. Playing memory games in your spare time. There are so many exercises to do to help with memory care, don’t forget to do yours.
I wanted to remind everyone, outside my office, there is a hanging folder with all your latest updates on the Health and Wellness programs. Please stop by and look at what we have going on this month! There will be exercises, postings, flyers, recipes, and more. There are recent recipes from our crock pot classes and even a healthy “On the Go Menu Guide” to local restaurants to help you on your right choice of food while eating out. There will be new papers and ways to improve your health and wellness throughout the month, so please come by and check out what I have left for everyone! There is a “Leave a Comment & Suggestion” folder, utilize this! Let me know what you would like to see in future activities or leave any suggestions that you may have. Let’s kick this month off strong and healthy!
