"The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion."

Doris Lessing (1919- ), Nobel Prize-winning Zimba-bwean-British novelist, poet, playwright, librettist, biographer and short story writer

Chef ’s Corner with Andrew Martinez / Rincón del Chef con Andrew Martínez

Reasons Why It Is Important to Eat Healthy Foods to Stay Healthy According to the USDA Overview A healthy diet is the basis for a well-functioning body. Food is the source of energy for all of our bodily functions and directly affects how our bodies and minds function in every stage of life. There are a variety of reasons why a healthy diet is important, including disease prevention, maintenance of a healthy weight and quality of life. - Energy Complex carbohydrates like whole grains, vegetables and fruits provide a balance of calories and nutrients, whereas simple carbs such as sugar and white flour are high in calories and low in nutrients, making them a poor choice for energy production - Weight Management A healthy diet helps maintain an ideal body weight and prevent obesity. When eaten frequently, foods high in saturated fat, trans fat and sugar can lead to excess weight gain and obesity. - Disease Prevention A poor diet has been directly linked with diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and certain types of cancer. Trans and saturated fats are known to cause atherosclerosis, which is a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke. - Mood and Cognition A healthy diet can lead to better overall performance of the mind and body. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, foods high in antioxidants can help promote generation of neurons into old age ——————————————————————————————————————————— Razones Porque es importante comer comidas saludables para mantenerse saludable Según el USDA Información general Una dieta saludable es la base para un cuerpo que funcione bien. La comida es la fuente de energía para todas nuestras funciones corporales y afecta directamente cómo nuestros cuerpos y mentes funcionan en todas las etapas de la vida. Hay una variedad de razones por qué una dieta saludable es importante, incluyendo la prevención de enfermedades, el mantenimiento de un peso y calidad de vida saludable. - Energia Los carbohidratos complejos como granos enteros, vegetales y frutas proveen un balance de calorías y nutrientes, mientras que los carbohidratos simples como el azúcar y la harina blanca son altos en calorías y bajos en nutrientes, que los convierte en mala elección para la producción de energía - Control de Peso Una dieta saludable ayuda a mantener un peso corporal ideal y prevenir la obesidad. Cuando se come con frecuencia, los alimentos ricos en grasas saturadas, grasas trans y azúcar puede llevar a exceso de aumento de peso y la obesidad. - Prevención de Enfermedades Una mala dieta se ha vinculado directamente con enfermedades como la diabetes, enfermedades del corazón y ciertos tipos de cáncer. Trans y grasas saturadas son conocidos por causar aterosclerosis, que es un importante factor de riesgo de ataque cardíaco y accidente cerebrovascular. - Estado de ánimo y la cognición Una dieta saludable puede llevar a un mejor rendimiento general de la mente y el cuerpo. Según el Departamento de Agricultura de EE.UU., la comida rica en antioxidantes puede ayudar a promover la genera-ción de neuronas hasta la vejez

Participant Spotlight: Matthew Richardson

In April’s issue of Sundial, we are happy to introduce Matthew Richardson. Matthew was born in San Francisco, California, is the youngest of three siblings--- an oldest sister and a middle brother. He describes himself as fortunate to grow up in a well-educated family, with at least a college degree. Matthew would describe himself as an upper-middle class, had good property in Riverdale. He often felt left out because he was the youngest. However, a common interest in music served as a connection between him and his older brother. Matthew went to school in New York, and to college in Long Island, New Hampshire, and to another campus of the same college in England. His major in college was sociology. After college, he pursued education at a graduate school. Matthew likes working with the 55+ population. He worked on therapeutic recreation at a nursing home, and at Columbia Hospital in the engineering department—with engineers, architects, and designers. When asked about accomplishments he is proud of, Matthew reported being one of the very few people in

the world, who can proudly say that he maintained a 13-year marriage with a woman who was 47 years older than him. Matthew discovered Hudson Guild through his best friend, and greatly enjoys the library and the computer room in our center. En la edición de Sundial de abril, estamos felices de presentar Matthew Richardson. Matthew nació en San Francisco, Cali-fornia, es el más joven de tres hermanos: --- una hermana mayor y un hermano mediano. Él se describe como suerte de crecer en una familia bien educada, con al menos un título universitario. Él describiría a sí mismo como una clase media-alta, tenía buena propiedad en Riverdale. A menudo se sentía excluido porque él era el más joven. Sin embargo, un interés común en la música sirve como una conexión entre él y su hermano mayor. Matthew fue a la escuela en Nueva York, y para la universidad en Long Island, New Hampshire, y a otra escuela de la misma universidad en Inglaterra. Su especialidad en la universidad era la sociología. Después de la universidad, persiguió a la educación en una escuela de posgrado. A Matthew le gusta trabajar con la población de 55+ años. Trabajó en recreación terapéutica en un hogar de ancia-nos, y en el Hospital de Columbia en la ingeniería departamento con ingenieros, arquitectos y diseñadores. Cuando se le preguntó acerca de los logros que se siente orgulloso de, Matthew informó una de las pocas personas en el mundo, que con orgullo puede decir que él mantuvo un matrimonio de 13 años con una mujer que tenía 47 años mayor que él. Matthew descubrió Hudson Guild por su mejor amigo, y disfruta enormemente la biblioteca y la sala de ordenado-res en nuestro centro.
