3 NUTRITION MANAGER S NOTE: MAGGIE MILCAREK WHAT S SO GOOD ABOUT FRUIT? The main contribution fruit makes to our diet is vitamins, particularly vitamin C and betacarotene. This is the season when we can start enjoying fresh fruits grown locally. Fruits aid in iron absorption and promote healthy gums and teeth. They contain antioxidant properties that help prevent some forms of cancer. They get oxygen to cells throughout the body. They aid in bone growth and helps to regulate the heartbeat. They are vital for muscle contraction, nerve impulses and heart and kidney function. Fruits also ease digestion and in combination with a low-fat diet, help reduce cholesterol and may help in preventing colon cancer. Most fruits should be plump and firm. Fruits will smell like they should taste. The nutrients are usually in the skin or right below the skin of the fruit. Be sure to wash all fruits before eating them. SALADS: WEEK 1: 07/06 Salad: Tuna Salad Dressing: None Mixed greens topped with tuna salad, tomato, and cucumber. Meal items to be served with this: Grape juice, spiced apples, biscuit, butter. WEEK 2: 07/13 Salad: Chicken Taco Salad Dressing: None Shredded lettuce topped with seasoned chicken, diced tomatoes, cheese, salsa, black olives, sour cream and tortilla strips. Meal items to be served with this: Melon salad, roll, butter, banana cream pie. WEEK 3: 07/20 Salad: Caprese Salad Dressing: Balsamic Vinaigrette Mixed greens topped with basil marinated tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese and croutons. Meal items to be served with this: Grapes, brownie with peanut butter frosting. WEEK 4: 07/27 Salad: 7-Layer Salad Dressing: None Shredded lettuce topped with peas, celery, onion, mayo, shredded cheese, bacon and eggs. Meal items to be served with this: Melon, sugar cookie.

4 DIRECTOR S NOTE: LYNN FORSHAUG What is Normal Aging? We are all involved in this process and none can escape it. The changes individuals experience are not necessarily harmful. Scientists theorize that aging likely results from a combination of many factors. Genes, lifestyle, and disease can affect the rate of aging. Studies have shown that people age at different rates and different ways. Normal aging brings about some of the following changes; loss of peripheral vision, loss of hearing acuity, decreased taste buds and smell, arteries stiffen with age, bones start losing minerals after age 35, the heart muscle thickens, lungs start to lose their elasticity around age 20, medicine and alcohol are not processed as quickly, reflexes slow down and muscle mass declines. Regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and socialization can decelerate the aging process. CASE MANAGER S NOTE: CARRIE REESE Four Ways Medicare Theft Affects You Directly: Medicare identity theft happens directly to you when someone steals your personal information, especially a Medicare number. Up-charging, also known as upcode billing, happens when Medicare is billed for a more expensive device or procedure. Phantom billing is a fraudulent practice that charges Medicare for services not delivered. Fake freebies aim to sucker you in to receive devices or services you don t need like back braces, scooters, etc. Prescription fraud is when crooks take your Medicare number and fill prescriptions that they can sell on the black market. There is no consumer protection from medical losses! Guard your card! An assisted living facility for the elderly in a personalized home setting. We offer a warm and safe place to live while encouraging self-sufficiency whenever possible. Please call or drop by today and take a tour 104 Lincoln Court, Mt.
