St. Ignatius Seniors: Bingo is Saturday

Our next bingo game is 2 p.m. Sept. 12. Need an alteration? Tending to Mending is 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sept. 18.

Making lifestyle changes can help you live longer and better. Here are some tips:

1. Get moving; try hiking, walking or gardening . Try anything that gets you out of the chair. Even 10 minutes of movement is better than nothing at all.

2. Choose healthy foods that are rich in nutrients such as fruits and vegetables, lean meats and fish.

3. Manage stress; try yoga or keep a journal.

4. Learn a new hobby, take a class or join a club.

5. Keep regular checkups with your doctor.

6. Staying connected with family and friends improves overall physical and mental well-being, helps protect against serious illness and disease, and contributes to a longer life expectancy. (National Institute on Aging and CDC websites)
