Don’t Forget...

Got a Minute?
12 Super-fast Ways to Improve Your Well Being
Want to be healthier? It’s easy! Each of these tips requires only a
minute or so of your time.
1. Wash your hands. It’s the best way to reduce the risk of spreading
or being exposed to germs.
2. Stand up straight. “Proper posture can help reduce back pain,”
recommends Chad Savage, MD, an internal medicine physician at
Providence and Providence Park Hospitals. “By sitting and standing
more erect, you may minimize the curvature of the spine that can
occur with aging. Turns out mom was right all along.”
3. Just floss! Flossing daily can remove plaque and debris, helping to
prevent gum disease.
4. Scrub those fruits and veggies with water. Even if you’re peeling
them, you want to make sure you’ve removed any pesticide residue,
dirt or bacteria.
5. Buckle up. Wearing a safety belt lowers your risk and your
passengers’ risks of being seriously injured in an accident.
6. Test your smoke alarms every month. A good rule of thumb for
remembering to change their batteries: Do it when you set your
clocks ahead or back each spring and fall.
7. Disinfect your kitchen sponge. That innocent little sponge can be
a big source of bacteria in your home. But studies have shown that
microwaving a wet sponge (never a dry one, which can cause a fire)
for one minute can kill almost all bacteria on it- better than soaking it
in bleach.
8. Take a multivitamin. Most people don’t need a multivitamin
because they get all the right nutrients from their food, but if you are a
vegetarian or at risk for osteoporosis, ask your health care provider if
it would be beneficial for you to take a supplement.
9. Turn down the volume. Prolonged exposure to noises at or above
85 decibels can cause gradual hearing loss, which can’t be
reversed. Keep the volume at about half of its maximum capacity and
take breaks from music.
10. Do a freezer check. Raw ground meats should be kept no more
than four months and cooked meats no more than two or three
months. Also make sure your freezer is set to 0 degrees F or lower.
11. Pack safety gear. Springtime can mean injury time with the
increase of outdoor activity. Depending on what you’re doing, you
may need to pack elbow or knee pads, a helmet or a life jacket.
12. Post the National Capital Poison Center number on all your
phones. (1.800.222.1222). Don’t forget to stash harmful medicine,
cleaning supplies and insect and rodent repellents out of reach.

program to help seniors and those that are

North Woodward Community Foundation (of Troy).
Volunteers perform chores such as plumbing, electrical
work, clean up and removal of debris, changing batteries in
smoke detectors, simple carpentry tasks and other similar tasks
that help seniors keep their homes safe and livable.
Seniors pay only for the materials, not the labor. If you or
someone you know is interested in receiving assistance, or if you
need more information, you can pick up an application at the
Senior Center or call 248.545.3464.
The SHARP program is also looking for volunteers to
perform work at seniors’ homes. If you are able to help, please
call the Center at 248.545.3464.

One Person at a Time
GO GREEN! and Save Money This Holiday Season
• Choose LED lights over incandescent. If you have your lights on the
average of 360 hours this holiday season (40 days at 9 hours per day)
one 100 bulb strand of incandescent lights will use approximately
$8.10 of energy. Over that same amount of time one 100 bulb strand
of LED lights will use only $1.08. LED lights also last much longer
than incandescent lights. A typical incandescent light will last 1,000 to
2,000 hours. An LED light will last from 25,000 to 100,000 hours.
• Don’t send out new Christmas cards this year! Recycle old cards or
send electronic cards to friends and family.
• Consider a re-gift exchange. Ask if everyone can agree to wrap
something they already own instead of buying a new gift.
• You could also have a handmade gift exchange. Agree that all gifts
have to be handmade by the giver, whether they are baked goods or
craft-type gifts.
• Lastly, you could give the gift of time. Give a voucher to clean their
car or babysit their children. Be creative!
• When you are ready to wrap all of your ‘green’ gifts, wrap them with
comics, road maps, pieces of fabric, brown bags, take out menus or
tissue paper you already have. Or, wrap with another gift, such as a
kitchen towel or throw blanket.
Try all of the above ideas or just a few. You’ll save money and the
Earth too!

The History of Candy Canes
The candy cane can be traced back to Germany in 1670.
Legend has it that the choirmaster at the Cologne Cathedral handed
out sugar sticks bent into the shape of a shepherd’s staff to keep his
young singers quiet during long services. In the mid-1800’s, August
Imgard of Woodster, Ohio, began using candy canes as a tree
decoration. Candy canes took on their familiar stripes around the
turn of the twentieth century. Today, people enjoy candy canes as
both ornaments and candy.
