1 December 2012 Eagle County Government Senior Trail Eagle County Healthy Aging The Wonder of Gratitude Inside this issue: General 1 Nutrition 2&5 Who are We? 3 Wellness 4 Recipe 6 The ability to notice, appreciate and savor the elements of life is an essential determinant of well-being. Research has shown that those of us who are grateful are happier, more hopeful and more helpful to others. We are less anxious, more spiritually inclined and report higher levels of well-being. Gratitude can lower blood pressure, improve immune function, increase the amount we exercise, and increase generosity and cooperation. It is not surprising that people with spirit at work are more grateful than those employees with low spirit at work. We are all familiar with the feeling of gratitude. Somebody does something nice for us or gives us a gift and we, in turn, feel thankful. We know that they didn t have to make the gesture and that they did it for our benefit. We experience gratitude when we value the gift and the intent of the person who gave it to us. Too often, others are benevolent towards us but we are unaware of it or fail to understand the value of their offering. We miss out on the feelings of gratitude and, of course, the benefits. The foundation of gratitude is knowing the gift or kind gesture was freely given, no strings attached. There is also awareness that one didn t do anything to deserve the gift. But gratitude is more than a grateful response. It is also a sense of awe and wonder for life and thankfulness for what we have. Really, gratitude is an approach to life a way of thinking that can be chosen freely. It is not dependent on wealth, occupation, position or health. We can choose gratitude even when we are unhappy with those around us. We can choose gratitude when we feel stress. We can even choose gratitude when we are criticized and feel inadequate. What are you grateful for in your life? And who are you grateful to? Have you told them? I invite you to bring gratitude into your life. Val Kinjerski, Senior Trail Page 1
2 Nutrition Health n Up Your Holidays When it comes to the holidays sometimes the temptations out-weigh our healthy habits leading to weight gain. Often this weight gain can remain with us over the course of the year. Here are some tips to help keep your plate and your weight healthier: Fill half your plate with fruits, veggies and lighter hors d oevres such as hummus & whole grain pita bread. Limit portions of hors d oevres made with cheese, high fat dairy products & processed meats. Limit portions of fried foods. Limit portions of desserts. If you go heavy on one meal, go light on the next. Limit alcohol to 2 drinks for men and 1 for women per day. Watch out for high calorie drinks such as egg nog and Irish cream. Continue regular exercise and may consider increasing over the holidays. Try to include non-food activity with family like doing a walking tour of a street with Christmas decorations, go to the museum or volunteering for the community. Be sure to follow good food safety rules for keeping hot foods hot and cold foods cold, washing hands and avoiding cross contamination. If you are doing the cooking, try these calorie & fat reducing tips: Gravy Refrigerate the gravy to harden fat.. Skim the fat off. This will save a whopping 56 grams of fat per cup. Dressing Use a little less bread and add more onions, garlic, celery, and vegetables. Add fruits such as cranberries or apples. Moisten or flavor with low fat low sodium chicken or vegetable broth and applesauce. Turkey Enjoy delicious, roasted turkey breast without the skin and save 11 grams of saturated fat per 3ounce serving. Green Bean Casserole Cook fresh green beans with chucks of potatoes instead of cream soup. Top with almonds instead of fried onion ring. Mashed Potato Use skim milk, chicken broth, garlic or garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese instead of whole milk and butter. Quick Holiday Nog Four bananas, 1-1/2 cups skim milk or soymilk, 1-1/2 cups plain nonfat yogurt, 1/4 teaspoon rum extract, and ground nutmeg. Blend all ingredients except nutmeg. Puree until smooth. Top with nutmeg. Desserts Make a crustless pumpkin pie. Substitute two egg whites for each whole egg in baked recipes. Replace heavy cream with evaporated skim milk in cheesecakes and cream pies. Top cakes with fresh fruit, fruit sauce, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar instead of fattening frosting. (continued on Page 5) Senior Trail Page 2

4 Wellness More Than Bananas: Potassium Reduces Heart Disease Risk You ve certainly heard the advice to cut back on salt to decrease or prevent high blood pressure. While this is absolutely true, this is only part of the picture. Another dietary piece is the need to increase potassium. Potassium Facts: Less than half of Americans get enough potassium Potassium helps by counter-balancing sodium in the diet. The more potassium you eat, the more sodium your body gets rid of. Along with relaxing blood vessel walls, this helps to lower blood pressure and decrease your risk of heart disease. Be aware: as our bodies get older, the kidneys may not function as well as they used to and may not be able to remove potassium from the blood as easily as before. Do not take potassium supplements without asking your physician; food is always a better source. Most salt substitutes are potassium chloride rather than sodium chloride found in regular salt. Additionally, you need to know if you take a diuretic that causes your body to lose potassium, making getting enough potassium even more important. The key comes in knowing where to find potassium. Lots of foods contain potassium, not just bananas. You might have guessed it, but the major sources of this mineral are the foods we are most often encouraged to eat: fruit, vegetables, legumes (beans), fish, and low-fat dairy products. The recommended intake for potassium is 4,700 milligrams/day. Check this chart to find foods that you enjoy and can provide potassium to have a healthier body but don t think you can eat more sodium just because you increase your potassium!
