Senior Care in San Gabriel Valley

Common sense and tradition trump modern habits when it comes to healthy eating. The place to be at dinner isn't in front of the tv, standing at the kitchen counter or in your car. As science indicates, people can lower their risk of obesity, diabetes, cancer and other illnesses simply by eating healthier- which starts at the dining table. New York times has embraced this "slow food" trend with a new series called "One dish, one hour" promoting simple one dish meals that take an hour to prepare. We at A-1 Home Care especially enjoyed this fritter recipe consisting of healthy ingredients:

 Mushroom and Spinach Frittata

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 10 ounce bag presliced mushrooms
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), minced
1 6-ounce bag baby spinach, rinsed
8 eggs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
2 tablespoons low-fat milk

Home Care for Elderly and Senior in San Gabriel Valley

Katherine Boutin of the New York Times describes an embarrassing experience at a dinner party. Katherine wears a cochlear implant. Struggling to understand the words of her conversation partner- an author she admired- she was unable to recall the titles of his works. According to science, this hearing loss related to memory loss could be a common occurrence for select seniors. This phenomenon is called a "cognitive load" when the brain is preoccupied by translating sounds into words loses the processing power to search for a response. Furthermore, there is a strong connection between hearing loss and Alzheimers. Learn more about this sad connection here.

If a loved one has started to display signs of memory loss, we encourage you to take him/her to a doctor. Oftentimes, memory loss is a simple byproduct of aging but sometimes can be a sign of Alzheimer.
