GENERAL INFORMATION
From the Friends
PO Box 313, Longmont, CO 80502 www.friendslongmont.org
As I grow older, I am more aware that my health is a great asset, especially brain health.
As a result, I have read a number of books on how to maintain and even improve my
brain and my mind. I would like to briefly share some things that I have found helpful to
me.
In the past few decades, neuroscientists have discovered that the brain is quite flexible.
While the brain was once thought to be rigid, it has now been found that the brain actually creates new brain cells in
an area called the hippocampus, which is crucial for learning and memory. For unknown reasons, physical exercise
increases the number of cells generated by the hippocampus. “Exercising” the brain with new activities puts these
new cells to work.
Here are some tips for improving brain health: 1) Continue to learn (use it or lose it). 2) Take care of your nutrition.
The brain only weighs 2% of body mass but consumes over 20% of the oxygen and nutrients you take in.
3) Exercising your body will sharpen your brain. 4) Practice positive, future-oriented thoughts until they become
your default mindset. 5) Challenge your brain often with new activities. 6) Keep learning - the brain keeps
developing, no matter your age. 7) Explore and travel - adapting to new locations forces you to pay more attention
to your environment. 8) Make your own decisions and mistakes and learn from them. 9) Develop and maintain
stimulating friendships. We are “social animals,” and need social interaction. 10) Laugh often, especially to
cognitively complex humor, full of twists and surprises.
To nurture your brain at any age, you need to use physical exercise, mental exercise and proper nutrition. Nutrition
can come from healthy foods and supplements. There are many good books on brain health (many are on audio
CD). I suggest reading books that have been published after 2000. The Longmont Senior Center offers many, many
activities to support brain health!

Summer Heat Safety for Seniors
Elderly people (people aged 65 years and older) are more prone to heat stress than younger people for
several reasons:
•Elderly people do not adjust as well as young people to sudden changes in temperature.
•They are more likely to have a chronic medical condition that changes normal body responses to heat.
•They are more likely to take prescription medicines that impair the body’s ability to regulate its temperature
or that inhibit perspiration.

Hiking
A variety of hiking destinations with different skill levels have been planned. All hikers are responsible for bringing
and carrying their own gear (water/drink, food, clothing, and equipment), staying with the group, and being able to
maintain a pace appropriate to the rating. Our goal is to provide all hikers with an enjoyable outdoor experience. For
this reason, we have created our own rating system to help you better plan for a successful outing. The hike locations
may be changed based on unforeseen conditions (i.e. weather, construction). Mileage is approximate and represents the
entire distance. Return time will vary according to location, weather, pace, and trail conditions. Prior to hiking, be sure
to check with your physician before starting this program, and make sure you are in good health. If you have questions
about your conditioning or endurance level, we encourage you to begin with an easy hike.
