‐ JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2016 NEWSLETTER MONROEVILLE SENIOR CITIZENS CENTER 6000 Gateway Campus Blvd. Monroeville, PA 15146 www.monroeville.pa.us 412.856.7825 Life is full of traditions. Many are handed down through the years, and some are newly created between family and friends. Either way, traditions are part of the colorful fabric that intertwines our lives and holds us together, transcending time and distance. One common tradition this time of year is making New Year’s resolutions, which usually include stopping bad habits or starting good habits. Lose weight. Enjoy life to the fullest. Stay fit and healthy. These are the leading resolutions among older adults each year. It is never too late to decide to pursue a healthy lifestyle, which increases the odds of aging gracefully. Plan to exercise often, eat nutritious foods and encourage each other while doing so. Sounds like a good resolution and we would like to help you achieve in 2016! We know that getting started can be the hardest part, so join us in January, as we kick off the “New Year, New You” Fitness Challenge”! Kick Off Party will be on Tuesday, January 12th, 10am Raffles for free memberships, classes, and wellness prizes.

Participants must register in the main office and receive a membership card. The Monroeville Senior Citizens Center is owned and operated by the Municipality of Monroeville. The municipality covers the operational costs of the building. All programming expenses are raised and paid for by the Monroeville Council of Senior Citizens. NON RESIDENTS Non-residents are required to pay a $12 annual fee Participants must register in the main office and receive a membership card.

Just wave the card in front of one of the scanners located at either the front desk, or east/west exits. If you swipe your card at one of the exit doors, you do not have to swipe it at the main desk. SWIPE YOUR CARD The membership cards keep track of how many members we have as well as how many visits we receive each month. We are required to report these figures each month to the municipality. These records justify our annual budget and funding. The Monroeville Senior Citizens Center receives grant funding each year. We are rewarded these funds based on our monthly attendance records. These opportunities will not be available, if our attendance records do not show the need! IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU SWIPE YOUR CARD! Each year the Senior Council works hard to raise funds to offset expenses. These funds have helped pay for the following: Exercise equipment, commercial grade appliances for the kitchen, furniture for the lobby, computers, and movie screen/projector. These funds also offset our entertainment. Donations can make a big difference. Even the smallest amount can help. The center is a 501 © (3) charitable organization and your donation would be taxdeductible.

With less daylight outside, many of us move around a lot less. Days are shorter—rather than that walk after work in the dark, we go home and curl up with a blanket and snack instead. Those comforting carbs are only as far away as the kitchen. Choose wisely this season and find yourself healthier come spring. Winter foods are extremely healthy… Sweet potatoes, squash, apples, pumpkin and greens, nuts and seeds. These foods are packed with nutrients such as fiber, beta carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, and protein. Be mindful when you eat. We eat whatever is on our plate! Try this hearty and healthy dish using whole foods: Wheat berries provide and excellent source of fiber, are low in sodium and rich in B vitamins and magnesium. They also provide plant estrogens which may reduce your risk for certain cancers. Butternut squash is a great source of vitamin A (a powerful anti-oxidant), vitamin C, potassium and magnesium. Kale provides vitamin K, A, and C. Kale is a stand out food with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer nutrients. Pack these 3 foods together and you’re in for one healthy recipe! Butternut Squash, Kale and Wheat Berry Salad 3 cups butternut squash, cut into ¼ in. cubes 1 Tbsp olive oil Salt and Pepper ½ cup wheat berries 1 ½ cup water 8 cups baby kale 1/3 cup crumbled low fat feta cheese ¼ cup chopped pistachios/walnuts ¼ cup golden raisins/dried cranberries Maple Tarragon Salad Dressing Preheat oven to 420 degrees. Toss squash with olive oil, salt and pepper and place on baking sheet in one even layer. Bake 10 minutes, turn and bake another 10 minutes until browned and soft. Remove from oven and set aside. Rinse wheat berries in cold water. Drain. Place wheat berries and water into small saucepan and sprinkle with salt. Cover and bring to boil. Reduce to simmer and cook covered for 45-50 minutes or until cooked. These will usually stay chewy. In a large serving bowl, toss kale, feta, pistachios, dried cranberries, roasted squash, wheat berries, and dressing. Maple Tarragon Salad Dressing 1 large clove garlic, mashed ¾ tsp dried tarragon 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup ¼-½ tsp salt ¼ cup white vinegar 1/3 cup EV Olive Oil Place garlic and salt/pepper into the bottom of a salad dressing container. Stir in maple syrup, tarragon and vinegar. Add oil in a constant stream while whisking, or shake in a container with a lid. You want to emulsify the dressing—it will look creamy. Nutrition Talk with Sue The Truth About Gluten, What’s All The Fuss About! Are you following a Gluten free diet? Are you trying to? Do you need to?
