Health & Fitness
Happiness and Your Health
It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle
of everyday life and lose sight of what makes you
happy. Really happy. But making sure your happiness
meter is giving optimal readings can provide many
health benefits.
Happy people have younger hearts, younger arteries,
and a younger RealAge. Happy people recover
more quickly from surgery, cope better with pain,
have lower blood pressure, and have longer life
expectancy than unhappy people.
Studies also suggest that happy people may have
stronger immune systems -- they're less likely to
get colds and flu viruses. And when they do, their
symptoms tend to be mild.
Not surprisingly, happy people are better at looking
after their health, too. When people's happiness
levels improve, so do their health behaviors. They
exercise more, wear sunscreen, and go for regular
checkups.
We all know when we're happy and when we're
not. But ask a roomful of people what makes them
happy and you're likely to get a wide range of
responses, from "watching the sunset" or "spending
time with good friends" to "finding a great shoe
sale" or "winning the office football pool."
Physical activity is a great way to instantly increase
your sense of well-being. And by incorporating
exercise into your daily routine you'll be both
healthier and happier in the long run.
Spend more time doing what you love. Engaging
in activities that are in line with your values and
interests can improve your sense of well-being.
Giving back to the community and helping others is
linked to greater levels of happiness, particularly for
people who are retired or not employed.
Be your healthiest and happiest by eating a balanced
diet with lots of fruit and veggies, keeping stress
levels to a minimum, laughing often, moderating
alcohol intake, getting plenty of exercise, and not
smoking. Happiness is a personal journey of selfdiscovery.
Blessings to you –

October is Breast Cancer
Awareness Month
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in
women, followed only by lung cancer. The American Cancer
Society estimates that more than 230,000 new cases of breast
cancer will be diagnosed this year, and that more than 39,000
women will die from the disease in 2013. There’s no sure fire
way to prevent breast cancer, but there are some things you
can do to lower your risk:
Eat Healthy: Diet and body weight have been linked to
breast cancer. To lower your risk, eat a balanced diet high in
vegetables and whole grains.
Stay Active: Reduce your lifetime weight gain by limiting
calories and getting regular physical activity.
Limit Alcohol: Alcohol intake has been associated with an
increased risk of breast cancer. Try to limit alcohol intake to
no more than one drink per day.
Get Tested: The American Cancer Society recommends that
women over the age of 40 have a mammogram every year.
This will not prevent breast cancer, but early detection can
greatly improve the prognosis if cancer is found. Most doctors feel that early detection tests for breast cancer save many
thousands of lives each year, and that many more lives could
be saved if even more women took advantage of these tests.

of Smooth Sailing”.
Those in attendance will have
the opportunity to visit various
Ports of Call with European
themed destinations to sample
cuisine from these regions and
see unique points of interest and
amenities featured at Montereau.
Several prizes will be given away
to three lucky guests-including an
Apple iPad. A commemorative
gift will be given to each guest in
attendance as well.
“We are so excited about this
special anniversary event and look
forward to sharing the pride of our
community’s 10 years of success
with guests that we hope will be
making Montereau their home
someday” said Jamie Townsend,
Director of Marketing.
Assistance from staff and
residents will be needed to host
an event of this magnitude. If
you would be available to help the
Marketing Team the afternoon
of October 10th, please contact
Tinesa Siebert at (918) 491-5229.
