Alter Attitudes About Aging & Embrace Your Age! By Trena Winans, Senior Services Education & Community Outreach Director Our culture seems to surround us constantly with anti-aging messages. I can’t even begin to count the number of products, programs and treatments I have seen trying to sell a new version of a youth elixir. Perhaps it is time to ask ourselves why we should want anything that tells us we are not ok as we are— today? Have you ever found yourself grumbling about the “old” driver in front of you? Despaired about an upcoming birth-day or a new wrinkle on your face? Look around, and you will see negative stereotypes about aging all around us, and if we are honest with ourselves, most of us can observe numerous negative thoughts and beliefs about age within ourselves as well. Ageism is arguably more prevalent and accepted than any other modern bias. The reality is that negative beliefs about aging have a very real impact on health, longevity, employment and quality of life, and it affects us all. Unless we are aspiring to die young, age will impact every person across all boundaries of race, color, nationality, creed and sexual orientation. The

and “decrepit.” Among them, 74% criticized older people, 37% suggested they should be banned from public activities and 27% infantilized them.

good news is that there is much more to celebrate about growing older than to despair of. What is needed is a change of perspective. What if Midland were to lead the way? What if we were to start with our own little corner of the world and show others how to embrace all the phases of our lives? The Scope of the Problem Next time you watch TV, make note of how many commercials advertise anti-aging products. Trusted personalities such as Oprah reinforce the message that we must fight age. When older adults are

featured in articles and stories it is usually for either surpassing the 100-year mark, or for taking part in “extreme” activities associated with the young. Must we all skydive when we are 90 to be seen as aging well? Perhaps some of the most disturbing stereotypes emerge in the relative anonymity of the internet. A recent study by researchers at Yale University found 84 publicly accessible non-commercial groups on FaceBook that came up in a search for 75 words including “old,” “aged,” “elderly,” “retired,” “experienced,” “senile”

Most of us can probably think of numerous times when we have heard, said, or thought about aging in a negative light. Some of it is couched as jokes: the “Over the Hill” birthday party themes, themed gift boxes in the shape of a coffin, or laughing at “senior moments.” Sometimes it is wistful: despairing about “feeling old,” searching for wrinkle remedies, or bemoaning changed physical capabilities. Other times, it may be couched as a compliment, but is really condescending or infantilizing— describing older adults as “cute,” marveling that they can “still” do certain things, or speaking with them as one would with a child. Negative beliefs about age begin in childhood and are reinforced throughout our lives. By the time we reach the peak 1/3 of our lives, most of us have internalized these attitudes deeply. We see examples of it all the time. Regardless of age, many people like to tell themselves

they are “not old enough” to take part in “senior” activities, or to access supports that could alleviate stress and help them more comfortably age in place. What age is “old” anyway? Studies show it depends on the age you are when you are asked. If you are under 65, old age begins at 65, but if you are over 65 it jumps to 80, and so on. Ramifications of All That Negativity Ageist thoughts have serious consequences. It is not just a matter of political correctness, but a matter of potential income and health loss, and even a shorter lifespan. In the last few years alone, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission received over 38,000 age discrimination complaints but has found age discrimination very difficult to prove. Only about 1/7 of age-related cases are settled to the benefit of the older adult making the complaint. Worse, it appears that when people hold negative beliefs about aging, it has a direct impact on their own health and longevity. Studies by Professor Becca Levy at Yale give some hard numbers to the cost of such beliefs. One study found that older adults with positive perceptions of aging lived 7.5 years

longer than those with a negative view. In another, people who held positive beliefs about age were 44% more likely to recover from physical disabilities than those holding negative stereotypes about old people. Turning it Around Let’s start by recognizing that when it comes to aging, everybody’s doing it! There is much to celebrate about the wisdom and perspective of age. Some of the positives are indicated in new research showing that as we get older we use more of our brains, helping us see general patterns more clearly than younger counterparts. Age can also enhance our ability to find the essential meaning in situations and stories. The older brain spreads memories across a wider range of brain structures than the young. As a result, it may take longer to pull up information, but the result is a better ability to see the big picture. Dr Bill Thomas, a national leader in changing age perceptions, proposes replacing the concept of “Senior Moment” with “Mind Expansion Moment.”

of senior moment, think brain expansion moment! • Instead of focusing on illness, focus on wellness • Instead of anti-aging, think active aging, or enhanced aging • Instead of decline, think of potential • Instead of aging, we are “ripening to perfection!”

Above all, don’t let “senior” become a dirty word. When we think senior, let’s think of positive connotations like “Senior Executive,” and “seniority.” We may not be able to change the world, but we can change ourselves, embrace our age and make Midland County truly an agefriendly community!

How Can We Help You?

Counseling at Senior Services Because Senior Services specializes in helping and serving older adults, our professional counselors understand challenges specific to growing older. They can help you find solutions to concerns about lifestyle changes, decision making, grief, depression, the stresses of caregiving and other issues. What is Counseling? Very simply, counseling provides a time for older adults or family

caregivers to talk about all those stressful situations they are struggling with in a confidential, supportive setting—usually leading to solutions, new coping skills, a better mood and the ability to enjoy life again. Who Might Benefit from Counseling? Emotions are useful and life enhancing—but sometimes uncomfortable. We actually benefit from even the painful

emotions—sadness, grief, anger, worry, fear, and the most uncomfortable one—guilt. We all feel these things usually in manageable doses in reaction to events in our lives. The feelings come, providing us with essential information about what we are experiencing—and then they go, and life is happy and fun again. But sometimes, the emotions are intense, troublesome, and they don’t leave easily.

they may react with chronic unhappiness, irritability and anger, too much worrying, sleep problems, lower energy, loss of appetite or overeating, difficulty concentrating and making decisions, and not being able to enjoy the activities that used to be fun.

What Happens During Counseling? The stressful situation and your reactions will be explored, and Counseling can help people who hopefully solutions will be developed to help you in dealing are experiencing depression or with whatever challenges life anxiety in reaction to difficult has presented. Coping skills life situations—such as the loss are learned which may include of a loved one, the disruption looking at other options, choices, of divorce, the loss of a home and resources to reduce the and a lifetime of accumulated treasures, the stress of caregiving, stress. Sometimes our thoughts can make a difficult situation declining health and the loss even more stressful, such as of independent functioning, or fearing a terrible outcome that a difficult relationship with a will be impossible to manage. family member.

Quick Tips for Family Caregivers: Repeating By Trena Winans, Senior Services Education & Community Outreach Director said to them, or what has happened recently. They may also be struggling to find the right words to express what they want, and so will fall back on the nearest words to mind.

Probably the number one thing I hear from family members who have a loved one with memory loss, is a desire to find more patience with repetitive questions and stories from their person. While there is no magic formula for attaining patience, it can help to understand more about what is happening.

One of the central experiences your person may be having is confusion. Things that were once familiar and easy, are now new and different, and sometimes scary. Many times the closest person to them becomes their touchstone to reality and primary source of comfort in this newly confusing world. As a result, they may simply be seeking to regularly interact with you as a way to feel that connection- even when they

So what can you do? First, take a deep breath and remember that Oftentimes a person experiencing they are unable to change, and cognitive change will be nervous so it is up to you to act as though about upcoming events or you are hearing this question for appointments and this can cause the first time.

person at this time. When in doubt, look for calming distractions that can take their mind off of their worries and get them thinking about something else. Music, walks outdoors, or a funny show might just do the trick when you find your patience wearing thin. Finally, remember that their feelings are very real. Sometimes what he or she needs most is to know they are heard and to feel understood. Give them validation about what they are saying and feeling, and you will be more likely to be successful in helping them move on to another task or topic.

Never Too Old to Travel Abroad By Tom Lowrey, Education Assistant Do you sometimes wish you could travel abroad, but then find yourself nixing the idea because of perceived barriers due to your age? Think again! There may be more travel in your future. Here’s some advice from a local travel expert: Sue Montesi has been a frequent visitor to our Trailside Activity & Dining Center, and has become a favorite Lunchtime Learners presenter. With her beautiful slides and captivating commentary, she has taken us to the cities of Italy and the continents of Africa and Australia. To date, she has visited 70 countries, with Iceland being the most recent. On quite a few of her travels, she has been the organizer and leader of

a tour group. “Most of my international travelers are age 50 and above,” says Sue. Who better, then, to give advice regarding the topic of Traveling While Senior? Here is some of Sue’s advice: • If you don’t have a history of international traveling, travel with someone or sign up with a group for international travel. • Wear a cloth wallet (not leather as it will cause you to sweat) with a neck cord under your shirt or blouse. Your neck wallet always has your passport, your credit card(s) and ATM card, and your cash, as these are the things you must protect from pickpockets. • Use a small backpack for your

water bottle, sweater, protein bar or other snack, small packet of tissues, etc. This keeps your hands free. • Purchase a piece of carry-on luggage with spinner wheels as it will stay upright and its upright handle will be about waist level to assist you with your walking. And it’s easier to maneuver in airport bathroom stalls! • Throughout the trip, including in airports, only wear comfortable walking shoes with rubber soles. • If traveling alone or if you have difficulty walking distances in large airports, request a wheelchair from the airline. If the time interval is somewhat short (two hours or less as flights don’t always keep their

scheduled times, it can take time to deplane if your seat is at the rear, etc.) between flights in a large airport, request a wheelchair as you may not be able to walk fast to the gate of the next flight. Sue also recommends carrying (not packing in your checked luggage) a sufficient supply of medications, no longer using Traveler Checks but having at least one credit card with a chip, and if you have a cell phone and will be traveling internationally that you check with your cell phone provider to see if your cell phone plan includes international calls, etc.

Group Exercise Gives Positive Benefits

The Community Center offers a large selection of group exercise classes. There are many positive benefits of committing to this style of exercise. Group exercise classes are a fun, safe, and a social way to get involved; they also help individuals stay committed with the natural accountability that is offered through the people who attend these classes. The Community Center offers a variety of land and water classes. Aquatic classes are great for seniors

who need a low impact, fun way to exercise. Linda Strohpaul and Geraldine Larson are sisters who bring their mom, Donna Jacobs, to class three days a week. They have been attending the Aquatic Arthritis class for nearly five years. Donna, who recently turned 93-years-old, says, “I like the people. It keeps me moving and gets me out of the house.” Donna truly commits to her exercise each week. She has made these classes a priority and it serves as an example to all of us.

Bullock Creek Seniors Giving Back desire to make a difference by spending one-on-one time with folks other than their peers to make a difference in their community. We don’t always have to go away to accomplish mission projects…we can find them in our backyard…which is exactly what they did!” Stated Marcia Dana on her experience with the students. Brent Gasser, a member of the group said, “The project has been impactful. The goal was to help those who have impacted so many others. It was meant to give back to the Community.” Overall this project has benefited all involved. It is a true example of how our abilities and skills can be used to impact those around you.

A group of five Bullock Creek High School Seniors chose to give back to the Midland Community by helping out the seniors of the Midland Community Center. As their Senior Capstone Project, the students helped the seniors by doing lawn care and other various outside work. “As we looked at our big yard after the winter winds, we were faced with a LOT of work that could have been overwhelming. But, after 5 students spent 2 hours (10 hours total), the yard looked totally different and is making our spring work load much more manageable. It was more than just the physical work they did, but also their

Simple and Natural Ways to Lower Blood Pressure High blood pressure is a big problem. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly one in three adults in the United States has high blood pressure. In Canada in 2014, slightly less than 18 percent of Canadians ages 12 and older reported being diagnosed with high blood pressure. While such figures might be frightening, Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that there are some simple and natural ways for people to lower their high blood pressure. · Opt for heart-healthy foods.

Instead of foods that are high in sodium, eat a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Check labels before buying prepared foods at the grocery store, as many such foods are high in sodium. · Look for foods that contain probiotics. Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that studies have linked foods that contain probiotics to healthy blood pressure. Probiotics are consumable live bacteria, and while studies regarding the relationship between probiotics and blood pressure are ongoing, researchers believe

probiotics may produce chemicals that, when absorbed in the blood stream, may activate receptors in the blood vessels to lower blood pressure. · Lose weight. People with high blood pressure who are carrying a few extra pounds should know that research indicates extra weight can cause injury to the heart. Dropping those pounds, especially through physical activity that can boost heart health, can help men and women lower their blood pressure.

Coping With Age-Related Hair Loss Attitude goes a long way in regard to self-esteem. With a positive spin, it’s possible to get through difficult situations and even have a favorable outlook on getting older. But even the most optimistic among us may at times worry about the physical signs of aging and wonder what can be done to make them feel and look their best.

Library of Medicine, says that strands of hair also can become less dense and smaller through the years. Many follicles also may stop producing new hairs. Regardless of age, it is customary for a person to lose about 100 hairs a day. If those hairs are not replaced as readily as they once were, patches of thinning and balding hair may appear.

Wrinkles and a little extra weight around the middle certainly garner attention, but hair loss is another age-related concern. As people age, their hair changes in several ways. Graying through loss of melanin pigment is the most apparent. MedlinePlus, the health information resource from the U.S. National

The rate at which hair falls out is largely determined by genetics, according to Headcovers Unlimited, a company that produces wigs, scarves and other headwraps. But nearly everyone will experience some sort of age-related hair loss. Hormonal changes during menopause can cause noticeable

thinning and scalp exposure that may be mistaken for actual hair loss. There are many ways to mitigate hair loss. Here are some handy tips. · Try a new cut. Work with your stylist to determine a haircut that can suggest the appearance of thickness and camouflage the loss of density or bare spots. Graduated layers kept close to the face can help, as can pixie cuts. Men can choose to go entirely bald and bold. · Treat hair gently. Avoid harsh chemical processes and constant heat styling. Protect fragile hair from damage by pampering it. · Look for thickening formulas.

Many shampoos, serums and conditioners tout volumizing or thickening properties. These can help plump up hair and make thinning less apparent. · Talk to your doctor. Hair loss may be a result of medication, a skin condition or aging. Doctors may suggest products, such as Minoxidil and Lipogaine formulas, that can be used on the scalp to reduce hair loss and help follicles produce new hair strands. Hair thinning and hair loss can be a symptom of getting older. Knowledge is key to improve hair’s appearance at any age.

Learn How to Sleep Like a Child Again Many adults lament that even if they were solid sleepers in their younger years, by the age of 50, their quality of sleep has unraveled. Some cling to the wisdom that people simply do not need as much sleep as they get older. Even though that is partly true, sufficient sleep is still a vital component of a healthy life. The National Sleep Foundation recently updated its sleep recommendations per age group to include categories “may be appropriate” and “not recommended.” This includes a range of hours that may be adequate for certain adults. Adults between the ages of 26 and 65 are advised to get seven to nine hours of sleep

per evening. However, six hours or 10 hours also may be acceptable. People over the age of 65 need roughly seven to eight hours of sleep each night, though between five and six hours also may be fine. Generally speaking, anything under five hours is not recommended based on data reviewed by sleep experts. Many older adults do not get enough sleep due to insomnia, states Jack Gardner, MD, a neurologist certified in sleep medicine. They’re concerned about health issues, may have sleep apnea, can experience pain or frequent urination, or may be taking medication that impedes sleep. Dr. Leila Kheirandish-Gozal,

director of clinical sleep research at the University of Chicago, says that, over time, insufficient sleep can impact metabolism, mood, memory, and heart function. Various strategies can help people get more sleep and enjoy better sleep quality. · Create a luxury bed environment. Splurge on the largest mattress you can afford and one that is comfortable for both parties (if married/coupled). A roomy bed routinely invites sleep. If you have a restless partner, try two separate beds pushed against each other. · Consider white noise. The sounds of the house or outdoors may be keeping you up. Many people find

There’s a reason homeownership is the foundation of the American Dream.

that the gentle hum of a fan or a white-noise machine with a calming sound effect makes it easier for them to dose off than complete quiet. It can also block out extraneous noises. · Keep electronics out of the bedroom. It can be challenging to disconnect from electronics, but it is essential to falling asleep. Even a back-lit text coming through in the wee hours can be enough illumination to disrupt sleep. · See your doctor. If medications or illnesses are keeping you up, a change in regimen may provide the relief you need. Older adults can learn the steps to sleeping more soundly and easily. The value of owning a home reminds us that home is where we make memories, build our future and feel comfortable and secure.
