Balance
Exercises For Seniors And The Elderly
Balance
Exercises for seniors and the elderly like the grapevine below, are essential
to maintain or improve your current state of balance.
All
you need is comfortable loose fitting clothing,
and a pair of smooth bottom shoes to wear so you won't catch your feet.
Read on then give it a try.
This
exercise is a must for age-related balance problems. It is critical that you
work on increasing your ability to safely perform your daily chores by practicing
these balance exercises.
With
the introduction of this balance exercise in our series of 12 exercises, we are
performing not only a moving exercise but a sideways moving exercise. This is a
challenging balance exercise. If you are not dancing regularly and have less
than good balance, then you may need help.
If
that is the case, it is better to start by holding on to the back of a chair
when attempting to perform this exercise.
Better yet, call into the kitchen and get a family member out here!
That's right. Put them to good use.
Start
by crossing your right foot over the left, then step together. Move about 10
feet in one direction, then return back by crossing the left foot over the
right and then stepping together.
If
this is too hard you will need to modify
the exercise by simply side stepping. Do not cross your feet. Side step ten
feet to the right, then side step back to the left. Gradually you will improve
to the point where it will be possible to cross one foot over the other and
really do the "grapevine"!
Good
luck!
Tips
for Sufferers of Seasonal Allergies
Get
a jumpstart on allergy season
Keeping your windows closed and set the air
conditioner to use re-circulated air. Also, clean your air filters and air
ducts at least once a year to help keep allergen levels low. Unfortunately,
fresh air is not always the best thing, especially for people with allergies.
If you want to have a symptom free allergy season try avoiding extended time in
wooded areas and gardens and try to stay indoors in the early morning when
pollen counts are highest. When traveling, be aware of allergy ‘hot spots’. You
don’t want to spend your well-deserved vacation feeling miserable with
allergies. Make sure to dust your home
on a regular basis and wash your sheets at least once a week. Keeping a clean home will help prevent your
symptoms from taking hold of you.
Dogs
are Man’s Best Friend… but not during allergy season:
Almost
everyone loves pets. However, did you know that animals can cause allergy
symptoms to appear without even coming into direct contact with a person? Our pets can carry pollen in their fur just
as easily as passengers on a city bus, but it is not usually practical to keep
pets indoors all the time. Animals that need to be outdoors daily are a magnet
for pollens so plan on how to manage your pets accordingly with weekly bathing
and brushing sessions to reduce the amount of allergens they bring into your
home.
Finally, always remember that the best way to
successfully managing allergy symptoms is to start treatment at least two to
three weeks before allergy season begins.
A
Healthy Menu For
Monday
Starting
your week with a boiled egg, a toasted whole wheat English muffin with a
tablespoon of fruit spread and an orange for breakfast, a bean burrito for
lunch, and three ounces of baked white fish, a cup each of zucchini and red
peppers and a small baked potato for dinner.
For
vegetarians, it recommends: a cup of
oatmeal with two tablespoons of wheat germ, an apple or pear and a cup of skim
milk for breakfast. Try two cups of salad greens topped with a cup of
mixed-fruit salad and a tablespoon of either balsamic or raspberry vinegar or
fresh lemon juice for lunch. For dinner, eat a cup of cooked whole-wheat pasta
with tomato sauce and four soy "meatballs," a cup of steamed broccoli
and a half cup of orange slices. End your evening with a snack of eight
tortilla chips and a quarter cup of salsa.
