American Heart Month/ A-1 Home Care Calabasas

Enjoy healthy eating? This month is American Heart Month. A-1 Home Care will be focusing on heart healthy tips for seniors. 

For adults over 50, the benefits of healthy eating include increased mental acuteness, resistance to illness and disease, higher energy levels, faster recuperation times, and better management of chronic health problems. As we age, eating well can also be the key to a positive outlook and staying emotionally balanced. But heart healthy eating doesn't have to be about dieting and sacrifice. Whatever your age, eating well should be all about fresh, colorful food, creativity in the kitchen, and eating with friends.

Once you’re used to eating 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 
• Enjoy good fats. 
• Add fiber. 
• Avoid “bad” carbs. 
• Look for hidden sugar. 
• Cook smart. 
• Put five colors on your plate.

Some obstacles that occur with surgery recovery/ After Surgery Care in Calabasas

The period of time after a major surgery is not a time to try to drop the pounds. Serious side effects of surgery may leave alterations in your body that inhibit the ability to consume nutritious, healing foods. A-1 Home Care has trained our caregivers to watch out for these common food related mishaps:

After surgery, drugs, fatigue and complications can make eating unappealing. The mouth and throat can be sore or dry, medicine can make food taste metallic, and even the sense of smell can be diminished. In these circumstances, it’s best to experiment to see what’s the most palatable. Also, serve small portions throughout the day. Standard portions can seem overwhelming to someone who has to muster the strength just to chew.

Happy Thanksgiving!

When we think Thanksgiving, many of us know what is in mind. Delicious turkey, stuffing, and scrumptious sides. For those of us who aren't the most innovative cooks, deciding on what to make for the meal can be difficult. A-1 Home Care presents a recipe suggestion that could make a starring dish on the table.

Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients

1/2 pound elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon powdered mustard
3 cups milk
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 large egg
12 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh black pepper

Topping:

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup panko bread crumbs

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and mustard and keep it moving for about five minutes. Make sure it's free of lumps. Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.

Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.

Melt the butter in a saute pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.

Remember to save leftovers for fried Macaroni and Cheese.

Hospice Care for Seniors in Calabasas

In China, the highest respects are paid to elders at the end of life. Senior loved ones with family and spouses traditionally receive elaborate burials in which a three humped casket houses the body. Food is placed in front of the coffin as an offering, and loved ones burn joss papers and prayer money to ensure that the deceased has plenty of money in the afterlife.

It's interesting to see how different cultures practice rituals for death. While many elements are similar, there are also many differences.

Live In Care in Calabasas

Of the 27 million people in the United States with Arthritis, many are taking vitamin D supplements to treat pain and control the spread of the disease. However, an article by the New York Times suggests that vitamin D is not effective in reducing arthritis related pain or restoring cartilage. This is unfortunate news for an incurable condition with few options for treatments.

The study observed 146 men and women with painful knee arthritis who were assigned to take Vitamin D supplements or placebos. Though knee pain lessened slightly for both groups, there were no differences in bone density or cartilage lost.
