At our last walk, inspired by a book entitled Tough Broad by Caroline Paul, we talked about the benefits of participating in outdoor adventure as we age. Think parasailing, rock climbing, cycling, scuba diving. But also think bird watching, a nature scavenger hunt, learning something —anything— new. Studies are clear: our ATTITUDE about aging sets the course for how we age. If you think of aging as a time of stagnation, illness, and frailty, your body will follow suit. Conversely, if we approach aging as a stage in our lives of opportunity, positive challenge, and adventure, our bodies — and our souls— will respond gratefully, adding as much as seven years to our lives! Let us pinky-swear that we will refrain from using the phrase, “I’m too old to…[fill in the blank ].” Seek out an adventure that is suitable to your current state of health, and simply GO DO IT! You can do it!! 👊🏼💥

We walk the 3rd Saturday of every month at Union Canal Tunnel Park at 10am. See you on August 16th!

Joe and my daughter and I just completed a mini kayak camping adventure in Canada last week. Coincidentally, I am currently reading a book on the health benefits of adventure as we age. Looking forward to sharing with you what I have learned. Don’t panic! Adventure can include bird watching or a mindful walk through the park as well as kayaking and hang gliding!

See you this Saturday at 10am at Union Canal Tunnel Park! 🤗

Thank you to Donna Williams and Jess Cheslock of Lebanon Family Health Services who were the guest speakers at our June walk. They shared excellent information on pre-diabetes and osteoporosis. Check out this questionnaire to find out your risk for pre-diabetes: https://doihaveprediabetes.org/take-the-risk-test #, and schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider if you score above low risk. To prevent osteoporosis: ensure you are getting enough calcium and Vitamin D (best source of Vit D is sunlight -- get outside for a minimum of 20 minutes a day!); do weight-bearing exercises like WALKING regularly; do not smoke; and limit alcohol consumption.

Next walk is Saturday, July 19th at 10am at Union Canal Tunnel Park. Until then, get outside and stay active! 😍

Thank you so much to Ciara Rundle, PA-C of Family First Health in York who was our guest speaker this month. Ciara spoke about the importance of social wellness. Studies show that meaningful social connections are a crucial contributor, if not the most critical component, of a long and happy life. Ciara presented the 5-3-1 guidelines to maintaining social connections: Connect with 5 different people each week; maintain at least 3 close relationships; get one hour of quality interaction each day. It is important to note that one of the 5 connections can be a brief conversation with the cashier at the grocery store, or a chat across the fence with a neighbor or the mail carrier. We are seeing that these "superficial" interactions are just as important to our social health as intimate conversations with close loved ones and friends. So greet your fellow shoppers in the store as though your life depends on it, because it just might!

Hello awesome walkers of Lebanon! Thank you to all of our walkers who came out for the April walk a couple of weeks ago. Joe lead a talk on the health benefits of laughter, which include improved cardiac health and blood pressure, stronger immune system, and weight loss. It also helps with mental health by releasing endorphins and reducing stress. Ways to get more laughter in your life: watch funny movies, listen to comedy podcasts, spend time with friends and family. When Joe mentioned this last part, spending time with family as a way to laugh and de-stress, my brother chimed in, “You don’t know my family.” 😂

My daughter and I are still going strong on the Appalachian Trail. We have completed almost one third of the trail, putting one foot in front of the other. Y’all keep doing the same!!

Next walk is Saturday, May 17th at 10am at Union Canal Tunnel Park. Guest speaker will be one of the fabulous physician assistants from Family First Health in York. Please come show her what awesome walkers we have in Lebanon!! 🩵💚
