Enjoy Today and Look Forward to Tomorrow

We hope you enjoyed the beautiful colours this autumn.

Winter is suddenly upon us and we are finding the change in
temperature difficult to adjust to. If you too are feeling the
winters pinch, let us cheer you by the prospect of future
clubs and events in 2016.
A big thank you to everyone who is helping us fundraise by
using Give as you Live while buying online. Every penny counts!

Top Two Winter Tips to keep warm

1.

Layer your covers with the thinnest, densest ones on

top

Fluffy blankets should be closer to your skin. Thin, dense blankets

should be on top to prevent convective heat loss. Bonus tip: Don't
put your bed directly against an exterior wall. You'll be warmer if
you leave a little space.
2. Wear a hat
Your mother may have said that you lose 80% of your body heat
through your head, but that's not actually true. You will lose heat
from any surface that's exposed. So put on your hat, even if you're
inside.

9 Healthy Nutrition Basics

Here are some basic tips for good nutrition:
1. Take a daily multivitamin for your age group.
2. Boost calcium and vitamin D. Foods including fatty fish like
mackerel, salmon and tuna. Vitamin D is also added to milk.
3. Eat more fruits, veggies and whole grains. These will give you plenty
of disease-fighting antioxidants, more fibre, and less sodium.
4. Get plenty of fibre. Whole-wheat pasta, whole grain cereals, breads,
oatmeal, brown rice, popcorn, fresh fruits and vegetables all are high
in fibre.
5. Eat the right proteins. Get a balance of lean protein (like skinless
chicken), fatty fish (with omega-3 fats), and vegetable protein.
6. Enjoy a vegetarian meal a few times a week. A plant-based diet can
be low-calorie and dense in vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting
antioxidants (e.g. thick vegetable stew).
7. Cut salt intake. Too much salt is linked to high blood pressure.

8. Choose fats wisely. Avoid trans and saturated fats, like those found
in grain-based desserts, dairy desserts, margarine, fried foods,
cheese, pizza, processed meats, donuts, some fast foods and frozen
foods, for example. "Good fats" include many vegetable oils like extra
virgin olive oil and canola oil, nuts, seeds, avocado and fish.
9. Curb the sweets. Limit sugary beverages, grain-based desserts and
sweetened dairy products.
Good nutrition and exercise can slow down muscle loss, help
with weight control, guard against heart disease, stroke, a broken hip
from osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, cancer and even the onset
of Alzheimer's disease.
