Social interaction. Spouses and long-time friends pass away, and grown children move to distant places, making many seniors prone to becoming socially isolated. Dancing is inherently a social activity, done with a partner or group. It is a way to “get out of the house” and interact with others, make new friends, or even meet new romantic partner. Mental agility. Doctors recommend engaging in mental activities such as crossword puzzles or learning something

new to maintain mental agility as we age. Learning and remembering the patterns, steps, and timing of dances it a great way to keep the mind active and sharp. Emotional health. Depression is a major problem among seniors, whether from isolation, grief due to the loss of loved ones, simply mourning the loss of youth. Finding an activity that keeps you busy and brings you passion or joy, such as dancing, can help avoid or alleviate depression. Expand horizons. Every dance, from classical waltz to modern hip hop, has an interesting history. Dancing expands your horizons by introducing you to new music and cultures that you may not have experienced before. As with any activity, you should check with your doctor to make sure you are healthy enough to participate in the dance of your choice. Don’t overdo it at first. Find a dance instructor who understands your limitations and will tailor lessons for your current abilities. You are never too old to start, and don’t be afraid of looking silly. If you are taking lessons, remember that everyone else is learning too. There is a dance for everyone, so find yours and just do it - for the health benefits, to improve your mind, or simply for the joy it brings you. +

It’s Not Just About Muscle Strength Researchers are finding that the benefits of exercising regularly as you Entertainment age are both numerous and & Food significant. Although exercise could be expected to increase muscle strength through repetitive use of muscles, it also has a host of other benefits to health that make exercise a good idea for people of all ages, but especially for those who are increasing in years and have fewer opportunities for physical activity. Financial Heart Health The benefits of exercise for cardiovascular health are well known. Regular workouts help to increase respiratory rate, improve circulation of blood throughout the body and reduce the amount of inflammation in blood vessels that contribute to heartAuto disease and Travel stroke. Just 30 minutes of exercise three times each week can make a significant difference for your risk of these medical problems. Although older people may feel they should do this as the years pass, it’s important to stay active to prevent heart and vascular problems. Joint Improvement Health Home & Lifestyle As the years pass, the elbows, knees, hips, shoulders and ankles experience normal wear and tear that can begin to develop into arthritis, or inflammation of the bones and tissues of the joints. Orthopedic physicians often advise their patients to get regular exercise to help stave off increasing joint problems. Although this may seem counterintuitive, it’s important to keep the muscles and tendons that support these joint strong and flexible. More damage can be done to joint from inactivity than from regular exercise. Cognitive Function One of the more recent discoveries of medical research is the

importance of exercise in sustaining good cognitive function in older people. Exercise helps to more blood through the body and helps to keep blood vessels clear. This increased blood flow feeds brain cells so that forgetfulness and other cognitive problems can be delayed or eliminated entirely. Sexual Functioning Another surprising benefit of regular exercise for older people is increase sexual functioning. Along with muscle strength, flexibility and better circulation, older people can enjoy stronger interest in sex and better sexual functioning. Researchers believe these overall benefits allow people to enjoy sex more often and better performance. Lower Stress Levels People who engage in regular exercise enjoy lower stress levels regardless of their age. However, older people often do not have a large variety of diversions to help them manage stress, so exercise becomes increasingly important for dealing with daily and situational stress. Better Mood Exercise also releases a variety of beneficial brain chemicals that help to improve mood. Everyday worries and frustrations seem to melt away after a good workout. Exercise also helps to improve sleep, which also helps to improve overall mood. Less Disease With all these benefits, it may not be surprising that regular exercise also helps to reduce the number and severity of illnesses in older people. It helps to regulate blood sugar in diabetics, improve stamina in heart patients and increase range of motion in patients with arthritis. It can also help to lower blood pressure.

A cataract is simply a clouding of our eye’s natural lens and usually develops after the age of 55. Unfortunately, as a cataract develops, it gradually makes the lens cloudy or hazy.

Cataracts are caused by a variety of factors. The natural aging processes occurring in the lens itself can cause a cataract and ultraviolet (UV) light exposure is also believed to be a factor. Diabetes and certain medications can cause an earlier onset of cataracts. Young people can also get cataracts as well, particularly if they experience some type of eye trauma, vitamin deficiencies and certain genetic conditions.

When Should a Cataract Be Removed? Entertainment & Food In the past, surgeons would wait until a cataract was “ripe” or very developed before surgery was performed. Now, surgeons make the decision for surgery based on when visual difficulties Financial begin to interfere with normal activities of daily living, like driving, reading, work or hobbies.

Modern Cataract Surgery Travel Modern cataract Auto surgery is performed using only local anesthesia and surgeons also provide intravenous medications to help patients fully relax. The surgeon uses ultrasound to break up and dissolve the cataract lens. All fragments are Home Improvement & Lifestyle removed and a new lens made of silicon is inserted in its place. The entire procedure takes about ten minutes to perform and most patients are in the surgery center for 90-120 minutes, including pre- and post-operative time. After Surgery For the first four hours after surgery we recommend restful activity. Eating, watching television, reading and walking around the house are allowed. For the first few days after surgery, heavy lifting (more

than 20 pounds) is not allowed, and we recommend avoiding eye makeup for one week. Your surgeon should discuss any additional restrictions that might be important. After cataract surgery, most patients are able to return to work within two to three days.

Premium Lens Options When undergoing cataract surgery, we place an implant in the eye, which allows for very good vision. All patients will need to wear reading glasses when reading small print such as a newspaper or a dinner menu. Some patients may also need glasses for clearer distance vision when driving a car or watching television. Some surgeons now offer premium lens implants. These lenses may allow patients to reduce or eliminate their need for reading glasses of bifocals altogether. For my patients that elect this technology, I tell them “most patients can do most things most of the time without glasses.” If a patient elects to upgrade to a premium lens implant, they need to be aware that they are not covered by insurance. However, most practices offer some type of financing options if the cost is a barrier. +

Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipes

Stuffing is an integral part of the Financial Thanksgiving meal, but many traditional stuffing recipes are far from diet friendly. A small, ½ cup serving can contain as many as 20 grams of fat! If you’re a true stuffing lover, you don’t have to choose between sticking to your diet and enjoying this Auto Just Travel Thanksgiving favorite. make one of these low-fat stuffing recipes to share with family and friends. They are made with a small amount of oil, so the fat they contain is healthier unsaturated fat, rather than the saturated fat found in butter.

Home Improvement & Lifestyle

Traditional Herbed Stuffing

This simple stuffing recipe will taste like the traditional stuffing that you may have enjoyed as a kid -- but it’s not loaded with butter like your grandma’s stuffing. If you don’t have fresh herbs on hand, feel free to use dried ones in this recipe. Substitute 1 ½ teaspoons of a dried herb for 3 tablespoons of fresh herbs. The flavors won’t be quite as intense, but your stuffing will still be healthy and delicious. You’ll need: . . . . . .

8 cups of dried bread cubes 3 cups fat-free chicken broth 1/3 cup vegetable oil 4 stalks of celery, chopped 1 large onion, chopped 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

. 3 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped . Salt and pepper to taste Saute the onions and celery in the oil until tender. Add the herbs to the pan, and sauté gently for 30 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth, and add the salt and pepper. Place the bread cubes in a large bowl, and pour the chicken broth mixture over them. Stir well, and transfer the stuffing to a glass baking dish. Bake at 350 F for 20 - 30 minutes.

Cranberry-Apple Stuffing

This stuffing is packed with holiday flavors, and offers the perfect balance between sweet and savory. It’s made with a lot of fruit, so you can feel good about eating it. You’ll need: . . . . . . . . . . .

6 cups dried bread cubes 2 apples, peeled and chopped into small cubes 1/3 cup cranberries, chopped 1/2 cup onion, chopped 1/4 cup chopped pecans 2 1/2 cups fat-free chicken or vegetable broth 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon dried sage A pinch of nutmeg Salt to taste

the pan, and sauté gently for 2 - 3 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, and add the remaining ingredients, except for the bread. Place the bread in a separate bowl, and pour the chicken broth mixture over it. Stir well, and transfer the stuffing to a casserole dish. Bake at 350 F for 30 - 35 minutes.

Southern Sausage Stuffing

Sausage is one of the worst offenders when it comes to stuffing ingredients, but this recipe uses low-fat turkey sausage to keep the calorie count down. You’ll love its slightly spicy flavor. To make Southern Sausage Stuffing, you’ll need: . . . . . . . . . . .

1/2 pound low-fat turkey sausage 2 cups cornbread, dried and crumbled 4 cups of dried bread cubes 3 cups fat-free chicken or vegetable broth 1/4 cup olive oil 2 cloves of garlic, minced 1 medium onion, chopped 2 stalks of celery, chopped 1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper Salt to taste

Saute the turkey sausage in a small drizzle of the olive oil. When it is cooked through, remove it from the pan and cut it into small pieces. Set the sausage aside, and sauté the onions, garlic, and celery in the remaining olive oil. When the vegetables are tender, pour the chicken broth, sage, cayenne, and salt to the pan. Place the cornbread and bread cubes in a mixing bowl, and pour the chicken broth mixture over them. Stir gently, and then transfer the stuffing to a casserole dish. Bake for 20 - 30 minutes at 350 F. Any of the above stuffing recipes can be cooked inside the turkey rather than in a casserole dish, if you prefer. Just remember to cook the bird until the stuffing reaches 165 F to prevent food-borne illness. +

Reasons To Pile On

The Cranberry Sauce This Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is all about food and family, but many of Financial those tasty treats are not exactly healthy for you. From candied yams to pumpkin pie, there are plenty of fattening and unhealthy foods to tempt your palate and expand your waistline. Auto Travel Cranberries are a notable exception to the rule that delicious foods are not healthy. In fact, cranberries are among the healthiest items on most Thanksgiving tables, so you can pile on the cranberry sauce without guilt. Just consider Home Improvement & Lifestyle these reasons to include lots of cranberries in your Thanksgiving Day feast. • Cranberries are full of antioxidants - those magical nutrients that help fight off the effects of aging and possibly even extend your life. As we age, the oxidants we are exposed to start to break down our cells, leading to a host of chronic health problems. Antioxidants help to reverse that damage - and cranberries are a rich source of those vital nutrients. • Regular consumption of cranberries can reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections. Urinary tract infections can be painful - and potentially dangerous. The special properties

22 Simply55+

November 2014

of cranberries make them particularly good at warding off those common infections. • Cranberries can be good for your teeth. Recent studies have found that a particular element found in cranberries - a compound called proanthocyanidine - can reduce plaque formation on your teeth. Adding a dash of cranberry juice to your daily diet - or just piling on the cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving dinner - can be a part of your regular dental hygiene. • Cranberries can help lower your cholesterol. Studies have found that cranberries can help reduce LDL cholesterol - also known as bad cholesterol.

Trying to cut down on unnecessary costs and save a little money is something most of us know we should do. The average US household with a credit card has over&$15,000 Home Improvement Lifestyleof debt on it, but we are continually encouraged to spend. However, with some simple tweaks you can make some significant savings that, when added up, will be very noticeable in your savings account.

Clear Any Credit Card Debt

There might be times when paying on your credit card makes sense, but try to clear the debt as quickly as possible. Only paying the minimum amount back will add significant interest payments and can be a slippery slope.

Make a Shopping List

When you go to the store without a shopping list you stand a good chance of spending more than you expected. Knowing exactly what you need not only reduces temptation, but it can also let you focus on finding the most cost-effective brands or deals.

Use Less Energy

The way we use energy in the home is often just a matter of habit. Leaving all the lights on, using the heating more than is necessary, and not turning off the television are all ways we spend more than we need to. Be conscious of the times you are being wasteful, and start instilling new energy-saving habits.

Search Price Comparison Sites

Price comparison sites allow you to quickly find the best deal, whether you are searching based on price or features. There are price comparison sites in many industries, with the most common examples being insurance, banking, and vacations. A simple search could end up saving you a considerable amount of money.

Cancel Unnecessary Monthly Fees

Many of us have a few subscriptions that are going unused. The common examples are gym memberships, TV or DVD rental services, and magazine subscriptions, but subscription services can be found in all kinds of industries. It

Buy Used Items

Plenty of people have a natural resistance to buying used items. It might be preferable to own something new, but used items Home Improvement & Lifestyle can often provide a huge saving. Certain items - cars being a common example - lose a lot of value as soon as they are purchased. Older electronic devices usually drop in price when a new model is released, but the differences between models may only be negligible.

Learn to Repair Items

Moving away from a wasteful mindset can continually save you money over the years. If something is broken or damaged, try to consider if you could fix it. Clothing will be a regular expense for many people, but learning some basic sewing skills can help you repair any old items with superficial damage.

Grow Your Own Food

Growing your own food can be a satisfying activity while saving you some money at the same time. You often only need a small amount of space in your garden, some light and water, and a bit of care and attention. If you are struggling for space, herbs can be an easier option for a windowsill.

Coupons Can Save You Plenty of Money

Coupons have been a great way to save money for years, but the Internet is now providing an even greater incentive. There are plenty of websites offering coupon codes, discount packages, and group deals. If you like hunting for a bargain, create a list of coupon sites and keep an eye on them as the new deals pop up.

Use Your Local Library

When was the last time you visited your local library? If you are like most people, it will probably have been a while. Most modern libraries have changed with the times and offer lots of different facilities. Of course, you can still look for books that interest you, but you can also browse the internet, read newspapers and magazines, and check out fairly new films and music. While the idea of trying to save money does not usually sound too enthralling, most of these tips are simple things that can be added into your regular routine. They don’t require a great deal of work, but as you start to notice the money being saved your motivation increases. +

Prescott Arizona Home Improvement & Lifestyle

Mile-high Prescott transcends the Arizona archetype with four mild seasons, an average annual daytime temperature of about seventy degrees, and 300+ days of sunshine. Just ninety miles north of Phoenix and about three hours from Las Vegas, Prescott is situated comfortably against the Prescott National Forest. Great Lakes Airlines serves LAX and Prescott twice daily with non-stop flights. From art to artifacts, Prescott’s history is well documented. Prescott was the Arizona Territory’s original capital and is now home to the World’s Oldest Rodeo. Prescott’s four museums bear witness to this area’s Native American, military and Western pioneer history and heritage. Downtown’s Whiskey Row still

houses saloons patronized by Old West legends like Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. Courthouse Plaza, in the heart of downtown, is the fulcrum of activity in Prescott. During the summer months, the elm shrouded venue beats to five nights of free, live entertainment. The plaza also hosts community events, arts, crafts, and car shows. Courthouse Plaza was named one of the Top Ten Public Spaces in the United States by the prestigious APA (American Planning Association). One might think that Arizona is an arid moonscape dotted with cacti and other prickly plant life, but Prescott is a mile above sea level and enjoys four mild seasons and blooming flora.

The Whiskey Off-Road has evolved into one of the nation’s top annual mountain biking events. “Whiskey Row” is the century old moniker for downtown’s main street section of Montezuma St. where it was once the locale for over 40 saloons. The biking event starts and finishes at this historic location. Nearly one-thousand riders turned out for the Seventh Annual Whiskey Off-Road in 2010, which features a 50-mile and 25-mile course through the Prescott National Forest (the largest stand pine trees in the United States), as well as a 15-mile “fun ride.” The Whiskey Off-Road is organized by Epic

How to Create a Keepsake Family Cookbook this Thanksgiving The great thing about Thanksgiving is that it brings the whole family together. Family members from around town and around the country get to gather and share memories, accomplishments and stories from the year just passed. They also get to share all that great food, from roast turkey and sweet potatoes to decadent desserts. For many families, Thanksgiving dinner means everyone bringing a special dish to share. Those dishes are often made with cherished family recipes, and the whole clan looks forward to tasting them on Thanksgiving. This year, wouldn’t it be great if you could create a physical memory of your wonderful Thanksgiving dinner? You can, with a keepsake family cookbook. Here’s how to create a great family cookbook to give and share: • Start early. You will need plenty of time to gather the recipes, design the pages and have the books professionally printed and bound. • Make a list of everyone who will be at Thanksgiving dinner and make sure you have their contact information.

• Contact everyone on your list, either through email, social media or plain old snail mail. Let them know you are creating a family cookbook and ask everyone to submit a favorite recipe. • Use a design program to enter the recipes and design the pages that contain them. A scrapbooking program is perfect for a project like this. • Contact local print shops and office stores to get prices and coordinate the printing of the final cookbook. Look at samples of past projects to get a feel for quality and choose the best provider. • Review the finished cookbooks for accuracy and quality, then take delivery and get them ready for Thanksgiving dinner. • Use the cookbooks as place settings for Thanksgiving dinner and hand them out to your guests. • Keep a supply of extra cookbooks on hand. They will make wonderful Christmas gifts for family members who couldn’t make it to Thanksgiving dinner. • Make sure everyone who contributed a recipe gets a copy of the finished cookbook. +

Advanced Technology for Cataract Patients

Since 1994, the Wellish Vision Institute has been at the forefront of advanced cataract technology. As Nevada’s first laser vision surgeon, Dr. Wellish is a nationally recognized leader who uses the latest cataract surgery and laser vision correction technologies, combined with a passion to achieve your best possible vision. Our procedures typically take only minutes to complete. We

understand that today’s baby boomers don’t want to wear reading glasses or bifocals and they don’t want their eyes to “act their age.” That’s why our surgeons offer a widerange of premium lens implants that allow our patients undergoing cataract surgery to do most things most of the time without glasses, such as driving a car or reading a dinner menu.

Lens Implant Options

Standard Lens Implant: Reading glasses still required.

Premium Lens Implant: See near, far and everything is between.

Do You Have a Cataract? Cataracts are the leading cause of poor vision in adults. If you’re over the age of 55, have had changes in your vision or difficulty driving at night, you could have a cataract. To schedule a cataract screening or to learn more about premium lens implants, call the Wellish Vision Institute at 702-843-5859 today!
