Encourage Dementia Patients to Take Care of Their Health

I never worried about carrying the torch. Sure there was a family history of heart disease, hypertension, elevated cholesterol levels, and diabetes. And, yeah, my four brothers had come down with all the problems.  Though I have been treated for the first three problems since I was in my twentie...

Dear Cuz,

 

I can relate only too well--rice, potatoes, hot bread--all my fav carbs

 

I go to the gym and use the treadmill -- but, not often enough...

 

Maybe it would work if you made it your routine to get on treadmill as soon as you get up in the morning--before you have you cup of tea...

 

As for me--I go right after work on my way home--I stop by the gym at Andrews...use treadmill for 30-45 mins...then go home

 

Still--even though it is my routine--at drop of hat, I don't go.  I aim for 5 times a week--minimum.  Usually I go 3-5 times.

 

I feel great afterwards--I just seem to allow things to distract me.

 

It is so important--I know it--just like you do.  We will have to try harder to be healthy [smile-wink]

 

Love you

I like your idea aabout hitting the achines right after I get up.  I could watch the news at the same time...then, my cup of tea and oatmeal (the long cooking kind) would be my reward!!!  I'll try that once I get home from my daughter's.

Thank you, Coni, for being so supportive and for reading my blog.  Your feedback is important!

Love, Leah

Have fun on your trip--and give hugs, kisses and my love to both Dana and Alex.
