Stay healthy in your golden years with Wa-Rite meetings
At the Sept. 8 Wa-Rite meeting, Pat Miller and Shirley LeBrecque once again shared the title of a top loser with a weight loss of 1.5 pounds each. Both members are committed to being as fit and trim as they can. Wa-Rite Club members lost a total of 18 pounds the week of Sept. 3.
Ruby Resnick presented on foods to improve oxygen levels. Aside from being essential to survival, oxygen manages the cardiac function, and fuels the metabolism by converting food into energy and allowing the body to function properly. The food people consume increases the body’s oxygen-carrying capacity and improves hemoglobin levels. Poor oxygen levels can cause lower energy, muscle weakness and mental confusion.
The upcoming presentation will be on how memory can complicate breaking habits.
The Wa-Rite Club is a supportive, nonjudgmental group of women dedicated to making the most of their golden years. Lately, some of the members have been facing hardships, and at times like that Wa-Rite is there to offer support and encouragement.
The club meets on Fridays in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Weigh-ins are from 8:15-8:45 a.m. The meetings are from 9-10 a.m. Annual membership fee is $10. Weekly dues are ten cents.
