The festivities of the season have been in full swing since the first bit of snowfall! This great group of people were able to participate in a Christmas Decoration contest that took place at Community Mental Health. What a fun experience it was for the members, and the staff at CMH did a fantastic job of showing off their decorating skills!

While we focus on health here at New Journey, sometime we spoil ourselves with delicious and "somewhat" unhealthy foods. This time around we were treated to baked corndogs and deep fried onion rings, courtesy of our head chef Chris B!

Thanksgiving dinner at New Journey Clubhouse was a massive success this year, with a whole bunch of folks joining us!

Unfortunately, not many photos were taken, but that is okay because everybody was busy socializing and stuffing their faces with all the delicious food made by the kitchen crew who worked hard all week preparing the food!

Thank you to all who came and celebrated with New Journey this year

HEALTH TIPS OF THE WEEK!!

The dangers of too much SUGAR INTAKE

The average American ingests too much sugar a day.
Sugar makes your organs fat.
Added sugar damages your LIVER.
FRUCTOSE is a component of table sugar and high fructose corn syrup.

(CHECK YOUR FOOD LABELS!)
Try to avoid drinks with a lot of added sugar.
(THIS INCLUDES YOUR HEALTHY SOUNDING SMOOTHIE).
You are better off eating FRUIT, and blend up frozen unsweetened fruit, which is surprisingly sweet.
If you go buy a commercial smoothie, some contain 13 ½ teaspoons of sugar.

THIS IS TOO MUCH!!
DIABETES rise when you eat too much sugar.
The sugar is hidden in many of our foods
(KETCHUP, BEEF JERKY, BREAD, FROZEN DINNERS) to name a few.

BLOOD PRESSURE!!
rises when you eat too much sugar.
STROKES are the #1 cause of death among DIABETES 2.
There is a connection between DEPRESSION and eating sugary sweets.
Too much sugar gives you WRINKLES AND SAGGY SKIN.
Sugar and ALZHEIMERS is linked.

Check the label!
Anything ending in -Ose or syrup is sugar.
Try not to overindulge in sugary fatty foods, which set off Alzheimer's.
There is a bad connection between sugar and CHOLESTEROL. Come down to healthcare home and speak with Michael, Alora, or our fabulous nurses.
If you are craving sweets, try organic chocolate with 70%CACAO. TALKE A 15 MINUTE WALK OR COME DOWN TO THE WELLNESS CENTER!!
Also, DONT SKIP BREAKFAST! When you eat breakfast, it helps keep your blood sugar levels favorable.
Try not to exceed 5 teas.
Sugar, for women; 9teas.sugar for men; and 3 teaspoons of sugar for kids.
So, change your habits SLOWLY.
Drink less full sugary drinks, and give the rest away, or make sure you portion control your drinks.

If your fridge is packed with sweets or desserts, eat a little today/ and tomorrow, give it away.

START EATING YUMMY SWEET FRUITS (GRAPES, MANGOES, BERRIES). YUM! If you need a little sweetness, try a little HONEY, ONE TEAS A DAY IF YOU NEED A PICK ME UP.

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
