Fresh produce benefits
Eat fresh produce to prevent chronic disease and feel
your best this summer. Eating a balanced diet is essential
to maintain good health, prevent chronic disease and feel
your best. This summer, Lorain County Public Health
(LCPH) encourages you to eat different kinds of fresh
produce, including during summer parties, cookouts and
vacations.
During your next trip to the grocery store or farm mar-
ket, keep the following tips in mind:
•Eat the rainbow. Different colored vegetables provide
different nutrients. Choose fruits and vegetables that are
different colors to get the widest possible range of nutri-
ents.
Members of the Fidget Quit group gather to create their special quilt projects at LifeSpring Community Church. •Consider how to prepare and eat the produce. If man-
tive behaviors, fixation on tasks, restlessness and agita- aging a sharp knife is difficult, choose bite-sized fruit like
berries. If you have tooth problems, choose soft vegeta-

Stressed about selling a home? Summer Veggie Salad
Turn to Underwood
If you have ever moved before, you probably aren’t sur-
prised to learn that moving is considered to be one of life’s
most stressful events. Moving can be very traumatic for old-
er adults, especially those that have lived in their current
home for decades and raised their family there. Leaving the
home behind is both physically and emotionally difficult,
but is a decision most older adults will eventually have to
make.
The two most common reasons seniors relocate are:

Social media:
Downsizing It’s not just for kids anymore
Perhaps due to the popularity of social media among a
101 generation of young people who grew up with it, platforms
such as Instagram and Facebook are often associated with
people born in the 21st century. However, a 2018 study from
the Pew Institute found that 65 percent of adults between
Presented by the ages of 50 and 64 used Facebook and 68 percent used

Social media is often on the receiving end of negative
Senior Real Estate Specialist attention, but it’s also a potentially valuable tool that can
help men and women over 50 stay connected with their
with Howard Hanna communities. That’s not always so easy for adults who no
longer have children at home. And as its name suggests,
social media can help users connect with others who share
their interests. Such connections also can be hard to make
for adults over 50.
Adults over 50 may be more comfortable with social me-
dia now than they were a decade ago, but it’s still a good
idea to brush up on basic security measures that can help
men and women protect their privacy as they utilize plat-
forms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
