Senior Nutrition: Tips for wholesome eating

2012-02-27T05:30:00.000-08:00

Once you’ve made friends with nutrient-dense food, your body will feel slow and sluggish if you eat less wholesome fare. Here’s how to get in the habit of eating well.

Reduce sodium (salt) to help prevent water retention and high blood pressure. Look for the “low sodium” label and season meals with a few grains of course sea salt instead of cooking with salt.
Enjoy good fats. Reap the rewards of olive oil, avocados, salmon, walnuts, flaxseed, and other monounsaturated fats. Research shows that the fat from these delicious sources protects your body against heart disease by controlling “bad” LDL cholesterol levels and raising “good” HDL cholesterol levels.
Fiber up. Avoid constipation, lower the risk of chronic diseases, and feel fuller longer by increasing fiber intake. Your go-to fiber-foods are raw fruits and veggies, whole-grains, and beans.
Avoid “bad” carbs. Bad carbohydrates—also known as simple or unhealthy carbs— are foods such as white flour, refined sugar, and white rice that have been stripped of all bran, fiber, and nutrients. Bad carbs digest quickly and cause spikes in blood sugar levels and short-lived energy. For long-lasting energy and stable insulin levels, choose “good” or complex carbs such as whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables.
Look for hidden sugar. Added sugar can be hidden in foods such as bread, canned soups and vegetables, pasta sauce, instant mashed potatoes, frozen dinners, fast food, and ketchup. Check food labels for alternate terms for sugar such as corn syrup, molasses, brown rice syrup, cane juice, fructose, sucrose, dextrose, or maltose. Opt for fresh or frozen vegetables instead of canned goods, and choose low-carb or sugar-free versions of products such as tortillas, bread, pasta, and ice cream.
Cook smart. The best way to prepare veggies is by steaming or sautéing in olive oil—it preserves nutrients. Forget boiling—it drains nutrients.
Put five colors on your plate. Take a tip from Japanese food culture and try to include five colors on your plate. Fruits and veggies rich in color correspond to rich nutrients (think: blackberries, melons, yams, spinach, tomato, zucchini).

Vegan Sausage and Mushroom Etoufee

2012-02-24T14:00:00.000-08:00

Who said that the Vegetarian diet couldn't include sausage! Well, here is a Vegan Sausage and Mushroom Etoufee for you to try for your Friday Night Menu!

Special Thanks go to FatFreeVegan.com

Sausage and Mushroom Étouffée

A quarter teaspoon each of the cayenne, white, and black pepper will probably provide enough heat for most people, but if you like your food fiery, add more to taste, but try to keep the amounts balanced. If you don’t like spicy dishes, start with 1/8 teaspoon of each pepper and build up from there.

Ingredients

1/3 cup unbleached white flour
2 cups “no-chicken” or other vegetable broth
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
8 ounces mushrooms, stemmed and halved
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
14-16 ounces vegan sausage (such as Tofurky or Fauxsages), sliced thickly
4 green onions (scallions), sliced

Instructions

Put the flour in a small skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring almost constantly, until it is the color of light brown sugar, about 15 minutes. Be very careful–it burns easily if not stirred. If it burns, throw it out and start over again. When it reaches the right color, transfer it to the blender, add the broth, and blend it until smooth. Set aside.
While you’re stirring the flour, you can begin cooking the vegetables. Heat a large non-stick skillet. Add the onion and cook for about three minutes, adding water by the tablespoon if needed to prevent sticking. Add the celery and bell pepper and continue to cook until the onion is beginning to brown. Add the mushrooms and a tablespoon of water and cover tightly. Cook until the mushrooms begin to exude their liquid, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
Give the flour mixture another quick whirl in the blender and add it to the vegetables. Add the soy sauce and all the seasonings and cook, stirring often, until sauce has thickened. Reduce heat and add the sliced sausage. Cover and cook on low for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the gravy seems too thick, add a little more vegetable broth.
Check the seasonings and add more pepper and salt if needed. Stir in the green onions and serve over rice.

CAHSAH Supporter Carenetla at the California State Capitol

2012-02-23T14:37:00.001-08:00

It was a great pleasure for us, here at CarenetLA, to attend this year's Lobby Day with the California Association for Health Services at Home (CAHSAH). On the Agenda were legislative issues that would affect many in-home care workers and their clients by reducing incomes and increasing fees for assistance. Many companies and their caregivers, including ourselves, came out in numbers to express our feelings about these possible changes that would affect everyone.

With the number of baby boomers rising each year, more people are looking to ways they can receive care and also have the opportunity to stay in their homes, without placing a burden on their families. By attending this year's CAHSAH Lobby Day, in Sacramento, CA, at the State Capitol, we were able to voice our concerns to Assembly members and their staff.

The experience was greatly appreciated and to all parties involved, we would like to thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to hear our concerns.

Balancing Work and Caregiving

2012-02-20T09:15:00.000-08:00

These tips can help you juggle your job responsibilities and your demands at home

You've got important meetings at the office and projects that are almost due. But your ailing father, whom you care for, has been waking up every night this week and you would like to take him to the doctor. Arghh — what should you do?

It is important for caregivers to also find time to relax. — Glowimages/Corbis

An estimated 25.5 million Americans face challenges like these every day as they struggle to balance work responsibilities with caring for a relative aged 50 or older. Not surprisingly, they wind up distracted, emotionally drained and physically exhausted.

The good news is that many employers are sympathetic to these demands. Some companies have programs to help caregivers find community services, counseling, respite care, legal and financial assistance, and caregiver support groups. Others have begun offering caregiving leave and flexible work arrangements.

Of course, every caregiver's job is different, and even within the same company, different managers may be more or less supportive. These tips will help you manage your dual roles.
Learn about company policies. Talk to your human resources department or read your employee handbook to ascertain your company's policy regarding caregivers. Find out about any benefits your company may offer, such as an employee assistance program.

Know your rights. Ask your human resources department for information about the Family and Medical Leave Act. Have them send a copy to your supervisor as well, if appropriate. Under the FMLA, eligible workers are entitled to 12 weeks per year of unpaid leave for family caregiving, without the loss of job security or health benefits.

Talk to your manager. Be upfront about your role as a caregiver and the demands that it puts on you. It's better that she or he hear from you why you're coming in late or seem preoccupied. Spell out the concrete steps you can take to juggle your competing demands. For instance, say, "I just found out my mother needs weekly physical therapy on Wednesday afternoons. While I'm looking for other arrangements, I propose that I work late on Tuesdays." Chances are your company will reward your honesty and sense of responsibility toward both your family and your job.

After Caregiving: Picking Up The Pieces

2012-02-15T09:04:00.000-08:00

By Brenda Race

As a caregiver, we totally commit ourselves to caring for another person who no longer functions as they once did in the normal scheme of life. We move in with them or move them to us. We give up our jobs, our own independence, and very often our family and friends. We become so involved with the care of that person out of love that we ourselves are removed from normal day to day living. Our entire life revolves around comforting and making our loved one feel loved. We protect them at all costs. In a very real sense we have given our life for another.... not out of obligation but out of LOVE! The ultimate test of LOVE for another! Then one day we wake up and our commitment has been released to a far greater LOVE in a place of no more pain or suffering! We grieve and then the process of finding our way back into the world begins anew.

How do we pick up the pieces and start to live again? I guess there is no so-called normal pattern that each of us has to follow. It seems to come down to taking one step at a time...some walk slower than others and some speed their way back out into the world! Often we take one step forward and two backwards ... it is not an easy process but there is a life after caregiving! We just have to look forward and find opportunities that are once again there for us. Renew old friendships, find a job that you feel good doing, do volunteer work (we already know you are a caring concerned person!), find a new or renew an old hobby.... but begin to take a few small steps towards living again! One of the best therapies is finding a friend you can talk to...one who will listen and support you as you ease back into the world! Soon you will find that life does still exist and you are a part of it! Butterflies are still flying and the birds are still singing. The light of another day is showing through the clouds, and all that you gave up was well worth it in the end! We are better than ever for our commitment. We are forever changed in a good way.... no one can ever take that total love away from us as we again join the world!

Brenda Race, R.N. was caregiver to her mother.

Caregiver and Schizophrenia: How to Handle the Psychosis

2012-02-13T09:23:00.000-08:00

Psychosis or psychotic episodes can be very difficult for caregivers to know how to handle in just the right way. These episodes can be frightening for everyone, especially the person experiencing them, triggering extreme stress and fear which can make their symptoms escalate.

Psychosis is defined as a loss of contact with reality, unable to distinguish between what is real and what is imaginary, and includes delusions (false ideas about what is taking place or who one is) and hallucinations (seeing or hearing things which aren't there).

Many times when someone is experiencing a psychosis, they may actually be unaware that anything is wrong. It’s important for caregivers to know how to recognize the early-warning signs indicating that a psychosis is developing, and to know where or from whom to seek assistance.

Some of the early warning signs to look for include: READ FULL ARTICLE

Dining with Dignity Even When it Seems Impossible!

Dining with Dignity Even When it Seems Impossible!
By Jo-Anne S. Kelly
Caregiver.com

The phone is ringing off the hook while you, the caregiver, have your hands full: tying the bib around Dad's neck; stirring the pot on the stove; wiping the tears from your toddler's cheeks while trying to bandage his skinned knee. You grab a quick snack of candy. Meanwhile, Dad is sagging in his chair, hungry, angry and perhaps, unaware of the turmoil surrounding him. As you attempt to feed him, Dad grabs the spoon and spills the pureed baby food all over himself and onto the floor.

Anyone who is a caregiver could easily see herself in this picture. How can you ensure that Dad and the rest of the family get the proper nutrition they need, while simplifying your life at the same time?

Food is more than just something to eat. Of course, most of us eat for pleasure and enjoyment, even Dad, bib and all. Food is love, security, and comfort. Food carries with it positive (happy times, holidays, hospitality) and negative (pureed food is for babies not older persons) associations. Other considerations include religious, ethnic and cultural habits. Convenience, availability and cost are important too. It is said, "We eat with our eyes," so appearance and aroma are important. Let's not forget nutritional value! Sometimes a diet is modified for medical reasons such as low fat, high fiber or a tube feeding of a special formula. These modifications may impact negatively on the dining experience. Consider for a moment the person who must eat pureed foods.

Pureeing foods at home can be fraught with problems. Proper texture is difficult to determine and doesn't always turn out right. Contamination can be a serious problem. Are your hands really clean? Are all preparation surfaces (including the blender) bacteria free? Food is handled several times. Did you keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold? Was the final appearance of the product visually appealing? If not, you may want to inquire about the new frozen, molded, pureed products on the market. These items offer a consistent consistency, are safe, delicious, and have great aroma and eye appeal. They are timesaving, convenient, and may be heated on demand. Because the items are flash frozen, nutritional value is preserved. Best of all, the food looks like “real food," not baby food.
What about when friends and family ask, “Is there anything I can do?”

1) Come for dinner Wednesday night...BRING DINNER.
2) Make us a pot of homemade soup (low salt, no cream, be specific).
3) Check with me before you go to the grocery store so I can add a few items.
4) Give the gift of home-delivered meals.
5) If you go out to eat, bring me a "people" bag.
6) Give a gift basket of staples such as tuna, peanut butter, pasta and sauces, cheese and crackers, dried fruit, herbal teas, bottled sparkling water.
7) Give gift certificates from local grocery store.
8) Take the kids out for an afternoon snack or early supper.
9) Come "sit" while I go out for lunch.

Care and Comfort for the Stroke Patient

Care and Comfort for the Stroke Patient

By Nancy Meadows

Life for the Jack Meadows family changed forever in December 1989 when this husband and father suffered a stroke. The massive incident in his brain left him with no use of his right side. Months of rehabilitation restored strength and balance but could not return him independence in daily routines of self-care. He has a strong left arm and weak left leg to provide limited mobility. In addition, frustrating his life even greater is the lack of communication. He definitely has cognitive processes as is evident when following conversations and watching television quiz shows. But, thoughts have difficulty connecting to words and words in the brain do not translate to speech.

His family has chosen over the past twelve years to assist him at home. While visiting nurses and aides have contributed valuable services over the years, the major day-to day attention to his needs has been and continues to be given by his wife. A son, daughter and a few good friends frequently assist. We have learned tremendous lessons about the skills our stroke patient has retained or developed. We have also acquired extensive knowledge and mastered many competencies in our twenty-four hour a day, seven days a week responsibility. As others make decisions about the care of their family member who has incurred a physical or communication limitation, they could benefit from our experience. When arranging care for a family member guardians may inquire and observe to ascertain if the kind of care we are giving in the home will be given in the long-term care facility or hospital.

Caring for Someone with Bipolar Disorder

By Julie Totten

(Page 1 of 3) READ FULL ARTICLE

Soon after Missy had her daughter, she stopped sleeping, going from eight hours a night down to only two or three. Her thoughts were racing, and she was going a million miles an hour. After a few nights, Missy’s husband Bill finally took her to the hospital. He couldn’t believe that one minute his wonderful wife seemed just fine and now she had become a patient in a psych unit.

From the time Ally was nine months old, her parents Bill and Nancy knew that something was wrong. Ally couldn't sleep, had temper tantrums up to 20 times a day, and increasingly became more aggressive. Medical professionals told Bill and Nancy not to worry, that she’ll grown out of it, but they continued to seek help from doctor after doctor.

Nell’s sister, Maud, stopped taking her medication for bipolar disorder and fell into a depressive episode. Nell threw all her energies into visiting her sister at the hospital, comforting and supporting her while the doctors tried drug after drug before finding the right ones; explaining to Maud’s boss why she would be out of the office for weeks or more; and wondering how to cope with the new financial and emotional burdens in her life.

Adaptive Equipment – A Driving Force

Adaptive Equipment – A Driving Force

By Frances Maguire Paist

To those for whom mobility is limited, the ability to move around freely is a gift whose benefit can only be truly understood once it has been taken away. Imagine having to rely upon someone else for everything that you do – each trip to the grocery store, each run by the dry cleaners, each foray to the library or each errand to the pharmacy, doctor’s office or your child’s school. And then imagine how marvelous it would be if this opportunity, sometimes taken away so unexpectedly, could be returned to you through the use of adaptive equipment added to your car, van or truck.

Adaptive equipment is defined as a wide range of appliances, materials and supplies that help those with disabilities accomplish more activities of daily living and become more functionally independent. Adaptive equipment added to cars and vans help drivers and passengers get in and out of their vehicles, use driving controls and store other mobility equipment.

Following is a partial list of adaptive equipment often used in vehicles to help those with disabilities soar to new levels:

• A Power Door Opener is a device that opens and closes a vehicle door electronically via a remote switch.
• An Under the Vehicle Lift is a wheelchair lift stored under the frame of the van. An Automatic Lift, not located under the vehicle, permits the raising, lowering, stowing and deploying of the lift to be handled remotely by a power source. A Semi-Automatic Lift allows the raising and lowering of the platform to be handled electronically, but the storage and deployment of the platform to and from a horizontal position is handled manually.
• A Raised Fiberglass Roof is a separately installed after the vehicle’s original roof has been removed. This permits increased head room in the van.
• A Raised Door Opening permits additional door entry height for vehicle entry and exit. The manufacturer’s original doors are modified to add the extra height needed.
• A Center Lowered Floor, also called a Cargo Lowered Floor, means that the floor in the rear passenger area of the vehicle has been lowered. The manufacturer’s original floor is removed and lowered from the rear of the driver/passenger seats to the front of the rear wheel wells.
• Transfer Bars or Handles assist an individual in movement or balance.
• Five steering devices (Knob, Tri-Pin, “U” or “V”, Cuff and Amputee) help people with specialized needs hold onto the steering wheel.
• Low and Zero Effort Steering is a steering system modification in which the effort of steering the vehicle is reduced.

LinkedIn Discussion: The Power of Touch and What It Means for the Elderly

2012-01-30T05:00:00.000-08:00

Touch is perhaps the most powerful sense of all. From the moment we are born, before our eyes are open, a gentle touch calms us and lets us know someone cares. In the beginning stages of life, a nurturing touch helps create a bond that shapes us for the rest of our lives.

Even though research cannot prove exactly how touch positively affects us, it has shown that those who are physically touched on a regular basis experience higher levels of the hormone oxytocin.

According to the National Institutes of Health, oxytocin lowers stress hormone levels and, by doing so, plays a part in lowering blood pressure, maintaining good moods and increasing pain tolerances. No one can deny the warm feeling we experience when we are touched. Hugs, holding hands and other physical gestures of affection have the potential to ease our minds, make us feel less isolated, and reduce stress and anxiety.

Finding The Rewards In Caregiving

2012-01-27T14:51:00.000-08:00

By Sheryl Leary
Caregiver.com

Caregiving usually evolves out of necessity due to progressive disease, declining abilities, or sudden medical changes. Despite this fact, caregivers are usually providing care because they want to. They often enter into this relationship with nary a concern for themselves and with thoughts only of the genuine support they want to offer their loved one. Caregivers can derive a lot of satisfaction from knowing that they are helping someone through a difficult point in their life. However, there are times when finding that satisfaction, figuring out your “reward” as a caregiver, can get hard and the waters you traverse become murky. There are a few things caregivers can do to get back to basics and find their reward.

The first thing caregivers can do is find their “Why.” This involves some introspection. Look back to when you first started providing care and ask yourself “Why did I become a caregiver.” In caregiving, the “Why” is something that only the caregiver can define. Your “why” could be because of love, relationship, history together, desire to help or any host of reasons. Once you look back and find your “why,” you need to be creative to come up with a reminder for yourself of your “why.” A daily reminder of why you are caregiving will help anchor you and help you realize your own reward. For some, a daily reminder of their “why” may be to start each morning with a hug. For others, it may be a picture of their loved one. Others may need to use a positive affirmation poster with their “why” written across it, such as “I love my mother.” Having daily reminders of your “why” will do wonders for keeping your caregiving relationship healthy.

The next step in finding the caregiving reward is to find hope. Hope is not easy for caregivers. Caregivers are often dealing with progressive illness, seeing loved ones in pain, or coping with incredible changes in their lives. Hope is not a natural reaction to these circumstances. However, hope is an amazing reward when it is found. Caregivers can start finding hope on a small scale every day. Caregivers can start their day thinking about what they hope for on that day. Caregivers need to be reasonable and keep this “hope” attainable. Hoping to completely reverse the damage from a stroke will probably not be reasonable. However, hoping that you can make your loved one smile that day may be reasonable and attainable.

"The Artist" - Silent film brings back memories

2012-01-23T09:23:00.000-08:00

If you are old enough to remember the days of the silent film, you will most definitely connect and relate to an Oscar hopeful film, The Artist.

This film is a silent film, with no dialog and that would probably scare away any young person who is most inclined to hearing what they watch in the movies these days. However, I can say that The Artist has allowed it's older audiences the opportunity to look back at how far things have come and to appreciate the silent film artists who have come before the here-and-nowers.

It has a very talented cast who have adopted a skill that can only be acquired from great study and acceptance of their characters. The way Jean Dujardin uses his charm throughout the film is a joy to watch on the big screen, alongside the leading lady, Bérénice Bejo. I would recommend this film to all ages and especially a great film for the older adult who wants to take a step back in time for 100mins and bring back memories of the good old days.

Below is a little inside scoop of The Artist, in this trailer...share you insights here and we hope you have the opportunity to experiences this amazing and authentic piece of art through film production.
