Manistee County Council on Aging Issue: September 2021 By Sarah Howard Executive Director Did you know September is National Senior Center Month? Since 1971, the Manistee County Council on Aging/Senior Center has made improving the lives of older adults our passion and our mission. We were the first local county organization focused on older adults and their concerns. MCCOA serves the senior citizens of Manistee County by promoting qual- ity of life and independence by addressing their unique needs and challenges. Since 1971 we have walked beside generations of older adults to help them be engaged in an organization that serves their needs.Aging, it’s everyone’s future. Stay active,stay informed and stay involved. I think it’s crazy that the Manistee County Council on Aging has been around for 50 years. I think it is so important to be available to older adults and help them age in place and stay in their own homes for as long as they can. We are still working on senior housing at the Wagoner Community Center prop- erty and feel very passionate that the housing will help our older adults and our community. The housing market is out of control and there seems to be a lack of affordable housing for younger people. So, this housing will help older adults downsize and move into beautiful, new, accessible housing. We have a lot of activities,programs and fun headed your way for September. We have Wheelin’ & Dealin’ with Johnny O coming our way on September 10, 2021. Johnny O’ (aka John O’Hagan) and his family work all year long to collect all of the great prizes and some pretty silly ZONKs. I love seeing what every- one dresses up as and how silly they become during this game show. If you have seen “Let’s Make A Deal” then you know how it is played. We will be ready to see what is in your pockets and purses on the day of the show. We also will be hosting a Flu Shot Clinic on Monday,September 20th. The staff from Rite Aid will be at the Wagoner Community Center and they will be bringing plenty of the senior dose, so we can all be ready to fight off that nasty flu bug. Every other Friday we will have Priscilla in who is a therapist with NWMHS. If you would like to take care of your mental health, you can make an appointment with her and you can speak with a specialist. Because of the pan- demic, I think a lot of us could use an impartial ear,it sure couldn’t hurt. We have another painting class with Joann. I am always so happy when I see what everyone painted. They are always so beautiful, they all look like masterpieces. The Senior Nutrition Program/ Meals on Wheels is going very well. Now that the meals are back in our building, I may need to be restricted from the food. Everything that I have tried is delicious and boy o boy, I can’t believe the portions. I heard from a little lady the other day that she is very happy with the meals and she never goes home without a full tummy. September Birthday Babies, we are going to start celebrating birthdays again. We will have a cake to celebrate on Friday,September 24th right after lunch. Please come and celebrate your birthday with all of us. You never know what surprises we may have up our sleeves. I hope you have a great month and you try something new!

Now more than ever, we need tofind ways to boost our immune system asmuchaspossible.
Making sure you are eating a diethigh in immune-boosting nutrients isonewayyoucantakeanactiveroleinmaintainingyourhealthandwellness.
Getting a variety of foods andnutrients in your diet is essentialcompared to focusing on just oneor two in large quantities.The morecolorfulyourplateiswithavarietyofchoicesfromthelistbelow,thebetter.
1.Vitamin C: Citrus Fruits & Greens Consuming foodshigh in vitaminCsuchasgrapefruits,oranges,tangerines,sweetredpepper,broccoli,strawberries,kale, and kiwifruit are thought toincrease white blood cell production,which is key to fighting infection.
2. Beta-Carotene – Root Vegetables & Greens Beta-caroteneconvertsintovitaminA, which is an anti-inflammatory vitamin that can help your antibodiesrespond to toxins, such as a virus.Carrots, spinach, kale, apricots, sweetpotato, squash, and cantaloupe are allgreatsourcesofbeta-carotene.VitaminAisafat-solublevitamin,soconsumingfoods with healthy fats will aid in itsabsorption. A great immune-boostingcombination would be carrots withtraditional hummus or a spinachsaladwith avocadooroliveoil in thedressing.
3. Vitamin E – Nuts, Seeds & Greens Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitaminthatiskeyinregulatingandsupportingimmunesystemfunction.FoodsrichinvitaminE includenuts,seeds,avocado,
andspinach.
4. Antioxidants – Green Tea Green tea is packed withantioxidants that have been shownto enhance immune system function.It also contains amino acids that mayaid in the production of germ-fighting compounds in your T-cells, whichreduces inflammation in the body and helps fight infection. Green tea can be consumed hot, cold or as matchapowder.
5. Vitamin D – Sunshine, Fish & Eggs Vitamin D is essential to immunefunctionandhelpsregulatethebody’simmune response.Vitamin D can befound in salmon, canned tuna, eggyolks, andmushrooms.Your body canalsosynthesizevitaminDwithjust13-15minutes of sunshine three times aweek.
6. Probiotics, Gut Health & Immunity Yogurt, Kombucha, Sauerkraut,Kimchi, Pickles, Tempeh (Fermentedsoybeans),andcertaintypesofcheesecontain live cultures, also known asprobiotics, which are thought to helpstimulate the immune system to fight off disease. The microbiome or the“good bacteria” in your digestivesystemdeterminehowothernutrientsandharmfulbacteriaareprocessed inyour body, making probiotics perhapsone of the most important functionsfor immunity. The microbiome helpsyou process the nutrients describedthroughout the rest of this article,whilealsoactingasanextrabarrierforfighting off harmful bacteria and fungi.
7. Garlic – T-Cell Booster Garlic contains compounds thathelp the immune system fight germs in a variety of ways by stimulatingcells important to fighting disease and helping to regulate the immunesystem. It helps boost theproduction
of virus-fighting T-cells and can reduce the amount of stress hormones yourbody produces which can help keepyourimmunesystemfunctioningatfullstrength.
8.

August at the Senior CenterThings are hopping at the senior center. But as you can see, our sheriff, Brian Gutowski stops
in occasionally to keep an eye on us.. Actually he came to call bingo. We’re having a good time, wish-ing you were here to join us. Maybe next week? Meanwhile our volunteers have come back and we couldn’t be happier. Their assistance helps us keep this place running smoothly. Thanks to all of you.
