LYNN COUNCIL ON AGING SENIOR CENTERFrom the Director’s DeskOctober2018Pumpkin loaf, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin muffins.what’s so wonderful about pumpkin? If pumpkin is so great, how come there is nopumpkin toothpaste!? You don’t see health drinks trying to entice youwith pumpkin flavor, or kid’s snacks pushing pumpkin. Chocolate is universal. Health products, kid’s foods, ice cream flavors, coffee flavors allpush chocolate because it is universally liked. Pumpkin is too popularfor its own good!Erica likes pumpkin. Pumpkin pie is her favorite dessert forThanksgiving and Christmas. Maybe pumpkin is a product for the younger generations. Did you know that they have pumpkin spicedCheerios and pumpkin oatmeal now? Erica made pumpkin chili! Wedon't need it infused into every meal.How do you feel about pumpkin? Is it the next big flavor likechocolate or vanilla, or is it overrated and unwelcome in your coffee?Personally, for Fall I am team apple. It balances dishes without overpowering them. Are you team apple or team pumpkin?! Let us know!

Lynn Council on AgingPage 8Wellness Watch October 2018The fall season brings new colors on the trees and crisper air. When we wake up in themorning and step outside, sometimes the cold air can hit the lungs unexpectedly. Octoberis a month to think about lung health and taking care of the respiratory system. Here aresome ways to keep your lungs healthy:Avoid smoking because it is the major cause of lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPDS), chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Cigarette smoke getsinto your lungs and narrows air passages which then make breathing difficult. It isnever too late to quit smoking and for help you can contact the American Lung Association for tips.Pollutants in the air such as secondhand smoke, air pollution, chemicals inside and radon can increase risk for lung disease. Creating a smoke free environment in yourhome and car will help to protect your lungs. Testing your home for certain chemicals, especially radon is vital to preventing lung disease. Discussing any concernswith your healthcare provider can also help to ensure that your home, school andwork are safe.Preventing infection as much as possible is key to protecting the lungs. A cold or respiratory infection can lead to very serious illness. Washing your hands with soap andwater often, or using hand sanitizer will help to prevent the spread of germs. Stayingup to date with vaccinations, especially the flu shot can prevent illness. The pneumonia vaccine is another way to prevent disease, especially if you are already at risk.Cardio exercise such as walking, biking or swimming helps to improve lung capacity.There are also breathing exercises to improve lung function. Both breathing exercises and physical exercise can help to improve your mood and overall wellbeing.Regular checkups with your healthcare provider are important to maintain health evenwhen you feel good. Sometimes there are symptoms that go undetected and canlater lead to serious illness. Your provider can check your lungs and breathing tomake sure everything sounds normal. This is also a time to share any concerns youmay have. Being a partner in your healthcare team will allow your voice to be heard.There are many things everyone can do to prevent disease and try their best to stay ingood health. However, it is just as important to understand warning signs in orderto get help as early as possible. A few warning signs include chronic cough (one thatlasts longer than a month), chronic mucus (exists for more than one month), shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing up blood. If any of these occur contact yourhealthcare provider right away. These are all symptoms of lung disease and could leadto COPD, asthma or lung cancer.For more information visit the American Lung Association at www.lung.org or 1-800-LUNGUSA(1-800-586-4872)Kelsey Magnuson- Program Coordinator, Wellness Pathways
