Pebble Beach, CA If Seniors Are Feeling Lazy, Try Giving Them Resistance Bands For Exercise
If you have a senior loved one who you are struggling to find a Christmas present for, try resistance bands. They are great to give them some exercise while watching TV or just sitting around. You can find them on amazon.com and other web sites in the $10-$20 range. An easy exercise is to put the resistance band under both of your feet and hold the handles at your sides with the palms facing up. Then slowly curl your hands to your shoulders, keeping your elbows at your sides. Then slowly lower to the starting position, repeating as many times as it feels comfortable.   Once COVID-19 leaves us, The Fitness Club at The Beach & Tennis Club at Pebble Beach has classes and a personal trainer. The Spa at The Lodge at Pebble Beach is also a great place to relax and get a massage.

Monterey, CA Alternative To High Carb Diets For Diabetics
The September/October Issue of Diabetes Forecast (page 30) had an article about how important carb counting is when you are diabetic. It had another article about alternatives like having a quarter cup of nuts instead of a carb heavy snack. They’re full of healthy fats and protein that will do a better job of keeping you full than having those extra carbs. Eating 2.5 ounces per day of nuts instead of a high-carb snack is much more healthy. A study in the Journal Diabetologia found that people who did this improved their A1C levels significantly. For more information, contact the Diabetes and Health department at CHOMP, Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula.
