Join Jacqueline during this Wellness Zoom Happy Hour meeting this Thursday 4/23/2020 at 4:30 PM PST. Meeting ID 869-9738-2456
With our lives being disrupted over this last month and having to spend our days in the home to avoid getting sick from the Corona virus, the flip side is that we unwillingly increase sedentary living which increases our chances of losing function. Physical inactivity leads to increasing pains and discomfort, increasing medical problems due to inactivity and nutrition related issues such as increased blood pressure, weight gain and joint pain, depression, incontinence, elevated blood sugar, loss of bone density, falls, fractures or traumatic head injuries etc. QUESTION to attendees: 1. How are you spending your day and what is the # 1 concern for yourself? 2. What do you think will help optimize home living while in isolation and practicing self protection? Topics discussed:
How to follow daily recommended physical activity guidelines and keeping up with exercises specifically to optimize your medical condition such as balance, mobility, strength, bone density, joint pain, pack pain, blood sugar, dizziness, etc.
Challenges with maintaining optimum nutrition and portion size control while at home steps away from the pantry
Getting more comfortable with technology to help us stay connected, we can teach old dogs new tricks /zoom, google hangout, FaceTime, whatsApp, Skype, other than a phone call or email. Challenging our brains, learning something new boosts brain function and grows new brain cells and combats dementia especially when combined with physical activity which is called - neuroplasticity.
