We close this quarter’s theme of Healthy Aging: “Let
Wellbeing Thrive” with a focus on Food, as we Live in Wellness through our June
2015 events in State College, PA at Juniper Village at Brookline Rehabilitation
and Skilled Care. Hippocrates advises, “Let food be thy medicine”. Research
shows that eating a well-planned, balanced mix of foods every day has many
health benefits such as reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2
diabetes, bone loss, some kinds of cancer, and anemia. But, food has other
benefits. There are also emotional needs that are satisfied by food. Most of us
have fond memories of food from days gone by. Whether it was our mom's homemade
chocolate chip cookies, a hotdog from a street vendor or our wedding cake, food
has a way of transporting us back to the past. It is in that spirit that
Juniper’s dining program is called the H’art and Soul of Dining. The philosophy
is that we impart spirited service, companionship and nourishment through the
sharing of good food. In addition to meeting our resident’s unique nutritional
needs, we also meet their emotional and social needs as well.
Join us for our June 2015 events in State College, PA at
Juniper Village at Brookline Rehabilitation and Skilled Care to share in our
hydration program, complete with healthy snacks and learn more about healthy
food and wellness with our dietitian presentations as we continue to Live in
Wellness.
