1 November 2016 For those of you who have stopped by Pacifica Senior Living at Modesto, we have three words for you: Pardon our dust!

Jackie Hernandez Activity Director Welcome to the holiday season! While this season is meant to bring feelings of love and cheer, it s also the harbinger of holiday stress for many. The great thing about holiday season is that it is predicable. Set your priorities before you get overwhelmed by too many activities. It is important to decide what traditions offer the most positive impact and eliminate superfluous activities. The most important thing to remember is to have a good laugh. Laughter connects with people and social support makes tough times easy to manage. Try to enjoy the wonderful memories this holiday season will bring. Happy Distressing!! Happy Holidays!!

Reshmika This holiday season eat mindful, not mindless. It s holidays and for most of us that means eating lots of eating. Followed by weight gain and new years resolutions.

I was reading an article online that state 18% of people say its hard for them to eat healthier because they want to stop eating their favorite foods. The good news is you don t have to!

Try controlling portions during the holiday. You don t have deprive yourself just eat smaller portions and less often. Eat when you are hungry.

5 Reshmika This holiday season eat mindful, not mindless. It s holidays and for most of us that means eating lots of eating. Followed by weight gain and new years resolutions. But why not take a healthier approach to what we eat during this holiday season and beyond? I was reading an article online that state 18% of people say its hard for them to eat healthier because they want to stop eating their favorite foods. The good news is you don t have to! You can still enjoy your favorite foods but in moderation. Mindless eating is consuming food because its there. Simply put, its not paying attention to what we eat which can lead to eight gain. Try controlling portions during the holiday. You don t have deprive yourself just eat smaller portions and less often. Eat when you are hungry. Just because the clock says noon doesn't mean you have to eat right then. Plan and prepare healthy snacks through out the day. A little planning helps you heart and your budget. Slow down when you eat and enjoy every bite. Put your fork down after every bite, allowing your body enough time to trigger your brain that you re satisfied. Eating healthier is easier when you think!
