Fall is in the air, you can feel it! As the leaves
fall from the trees, the air turns chilly in the
day, and the days grow shorter and shorter,
you may find yourself starting to slow down
and have less energy. It is a feeling we get every Winter. At Little House, there are several
activities to keep us physically fit, socially active
and mentally alert throughout the cold and
dark months.
This Fall , we have introduced an expanded line
-up of classes during our evening hours. There
are fitness classes such as jazzercise, two types
of yoga for strength and relaxation; and ceramics, drawing and printmaking classes to satisfy your artistic desires. We have also bolstered our educational programs by offering multiple language classes at every level from beginner to conversational. Also being introduced is a study in Anthropology though the art of collage. This class will take participants through an artistic process that will generate personal revelations, cultural linkages and discovery of common stories. Look for more information regarding classes at Little
House in the pages that follow.
So don’t wait until tomorrow to take advantage of one or more of these programs that are being offered! Come to the center for
good food, surround yourself with caring friends and participate in the activities we have to offer. The lights are on, the fire is lit and
coffee is hot!
See you at Little House!

The research article, titled “Giving Time Gives You Time,” found
that helping others increases our feelings of
time affluence. So even though we can’t expand
the 24 hours we have each day, volunteering
makes us feel highly effective and capable,
translating to a more “full” and accomplished
feeling in our day.
The study also discovered something many volunteers already know: giving time is addictive!
Once we experience the “fullness” one can gain
from volunteering, we are more likely to give
our time again in the future. In addition, giving
time makes us more willing to commit to future
engagements, despite busy schedules.
ATTENTION ALL VOLUNTEERS!!
No time to be a Meals on
Wheels volunteer? That’s ok.
Here’s another way to help!

Take it from a Volunteer…
“It’s easy to say why I volunteer at L.H. It’s the people. I’m fortunate to have an opportunity every week to see and talk to people
who have become friends over the years. I might have thought when I volunteered I could somehow be of help wherever needed,
but it has become apparent I am the one who has benefited. I have so many friends who I met at Little House.”

MEALS ON WHEELS
By Marilyn Baker-Venturini, Director of Meals on Wheels
By Marilyn Baker-Venturini, Director, Peninsula Volunteers, Inc. Meals on Wheels
THE DARK SIDE OF SALT
Sodium is a mineral that occurs naturally in food and is essential for health. Salt, or sodium chloride, is the main source of sodium in
the American diet. Several vital body functions require sodium, such as: maintaining hydration, transmitting nerve impulses, regulating blood pressure, and maintaining muscle activity.
Potassium is another mineral essential for good nutrition and health. It is necessary for the normal electrical activity of the heart and
works with sodium to maintain the body’s water balance.
The human body needs only about ¼ teaspoon of salt per
day; the average adult consumes 4,000 to 6,000 mg of sodium per day. For adults age 50 and over, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 recommends a sodium intake of no
more than 1500 mg per day and the recommendation for
potassium intake is 4.7 grams (4,700 mg) per day.
Too much sodium may contribute to high blood pressure.
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease,
stroke, and kidney disease. Sodium or salt sensitive people
may see an increase in their blood pressure and/or retain
fluid when they eat too much salt. New evidence suggests
that dietary potassium may help lower blood pressure. Increasing potassium in the diet may protect against hypertension in people who are sensitive to high levels of sodium.
Foods high in sodium are salted snack foods, canned foods,
cheeses, and boxed convenience foods. Try herbs and spices, instead of salt, to enhance food’s natural flavors such as:
allspice, garlic, lemon, or lime juice. Foods high in potassium are carrots and potatoes, blackberries, and spinach.
Choosing and preparing foods with less salt/sodium and
eating a diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables and low-fat
dairy are keys to maintaining the right sodium/potassium
balance and a more healthful diet.
