Freedom from smoking program

Has anyone smoked because of tension and stress and has quit before, only to start smoking again when pressure mounts? Was quitting for that person on his own too much of a burden? The Goshen General Hospital “Freedom From Smoking" group program may be what is needed. “Quitting smoking involves more than simply eliminating a bad habit,” say Dottie Kauffmann, RN. “It s a major change in lifestyle which affects a person’s self-image and the way daily stresses are handled.

Eating tips for older Americans

By ARMINA SCHMUCKER, RD I Clinical Dietitian Kosciusko Community Hospital As the elderly segment of our population grows in size, the need for good nutrition education for this demographic group grows in importance. To help aid in this nutrition education effort during May, “Older Americans Month,” dietitians at ARA Services present the following facts and suggestions: Changing Bodies, Changing Needs One of the greatest physical changes undergone by the elderly concerns the proportional change in the body's composition — from less- muscle and bone to more body fat. The effect of this shift in the body’s make-up means that the elderly require fewer calories since body fat does not expend energy at the same rate as muscular tissue. Additionally, the elderly’s lower activity level decreases their daily caloric requirements even further. And, though fewer glories are required on a daily basis, the elderly's need for nutrients remains largely unchanged. This lowered need for calories combined with unchanged nutrient requirements can lead to many nutritionally related problems. As a measuring stick for char-

ting caloric needs, nutritionists estimate that for each decade after the age of 20, our daily caloric needs decrease by two to eight percent — depending on an individual’s lifestyle and physique. Unfortunately, many elderly persons ignore this fact and continue to eat like a much younger person. Result? Obesity and all the resultant health complications. Still other elderly persons cut back on their caloric intake so drastically that they deny themselves needed nutrients. Result? Dangerous weight loss and possible vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Nutritional Balancing Act Elderly persons must learn to determine their individual caloric needs while maintaining a diet rich in all necessary nutrients. This can be achieved by avoiding junk foods which are high in calories and low in nutrients while consuming adequate amounts of food from the Basic Four, groups which are nutrient-rich. In particular, the elderly must make an extra effort to eat fresh fruits and vegetables and other fiber-rich foods. Unfortunately, many elderly individuals avoid these fiber-rich foods because they are experiencing difficulties in chewing. This results in sluggish digestion and a possible dependency on laxatives. Daily exercise also plays a

vital role in the nutritional balancing act by stimulating the appetite and burning calories. Exercise is also known to help fight depression and boredom, conditions which can cause serious eating problems. Yalcium Needs Calcium is a particularly important component of the elderly person’s diet because of the dangers of osteoporosis, a bonethinning disease which affects one in four women over the age of 60. The problem of osteoporosis can be prevented, or lessened in severity, by consuming adequate amounts of calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus. However, many elderly individuals commonly consume far too little calcium and far too much phosphorous, thereby aggravating the bone loss which is the main symptom of osteoporsis. To avoid the dangers of calcium deficiencies, the elderly are urged to consume calciumrich foods such as milk, yogurt, cheese, sardines and canned salmon (with bones), collard ; greens, and broccoli on a daily basis. Calcium supplements should be taken only after consulting a physician.
