Exercise and aging Whatever your age, exercise can help

On the third Thursday of every month, Mission Community Services hosts a lovely meal at Carrington House, 32700 7th Ave, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Occasionally, the diners will be joined by a guest speaker or live entertainment. Serving up hot food and good times, lunch with a bunch is sure to be the highlight of the month. It’s not just for seniors! Adult children and caregivers are welcome.
Lunch is $8 a person and transportation is available for an additional charge of $5. Pre-Registration is required so give us a call at 604.826.3634 to book your seat today! The Mission Leisure Centre offers many programs seniors can participate in, such as this Stretch and Strength class, led by Marion Black.
Below is a description of what happens to our bodies as we age and how exercise can make all the difference. What happens to muscles as we age? Muscle mass decreases as we age. Beginning in the fourth decade of life, adults lose three to five per cent of muscle mass per decade, and the decline increases to one to two per cent per year after age 50. Muscle keeps us strong; it burns calories, helps us maintain our weight, and it contributes to balance and bone strength. Without it, we can lose our independence and our mobility. The good news is that muscle mass can increase at any age in response to exercise.
What happens to endurance? Endurance decreases as we age but there’s good news when it comes to fitness, walking endurance, and health. In an impressive study, data collected on more than 41,000 men and women from 1990 to 2001 were analyzed to find the relationship between walking and mortality. It was reported that men and women who walked 30 minutes or more per day during the study period had fewer deaths than those who walked less than 30 minutes. Interestingly, even men and women who smoked or were overweight were protected from early death if they walked more than 30 minutes per day. What happens to flexibility? You guessed it. It decreases.

good news is that studies show improvements in function when individuals engage in exercise programs that involve stretching exercises with significant improvements in the range of motion of various joints.
Mission Seniors Living 55 Plus is dedicated to our seniors, whom we hope to motivate to keep active. We welcome story submissions and photos. Submissions can be e-mailed to Gordon Dainard at gdainard333@gmail.com. For past issues, visit missioncityrecord. com and click e-Editions.
What happens to balance? Balance decreases as we age and falling is a major problem as a result. The good news is that physical activity can improve balance and reduce the risk of falling. It’s important to select balance-training exercises that are specific to activities that you do during the day. For example, you might want to do balance exercises on one leg that mimic the act of walking if you are

Mission: OAPO BR 28 After enjoying a sabbatical for the summer, the Mission OAPO Branch 28 is back to start a busy year. Our convention held in Princeton in June was a great success with delegates from every branch in the province. We passed 39 resolutions that will be sent to the provincial government, the opposition, as well as the federal government. We must keep our politicians’ feet to the fire on senior issues. We started our fall sessions with a borscht lunch for all seniors in Mission on Aug. 30, 2013. We had approximately 50 seniors attending the meet and greet session. The first official meeting was held Friday, Sept. 13, 2013 at 1:30 p.m.
Our monthly birthday party will be Friday, Sept. 27, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. The annual fall tea will be held on Oct. 12 everyone is welcome.

Autumn leaves bring out the best colours of the season and before you know it your property is covered with them. Unraked leaves can get matted down, suffocate grass and create optimal breeding grounds for insects and fungus. Remove leaves from your lawn to avoid dead patches and infestations in the spring. Don’t worry about getting every leaf, those in the garden help keep plants insulated and as they decompose they will nourish the soil with valuable nutrients.

WHAT IS OSTEOFIT?
Osteofit is a BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre certified exercise, education and fall prevention program for individuals with osteoporosis, low bone density or who are at risk of fractures and falls. Osteofit is medically endorsed and based on published research. It is designed and updated by clinical specialists from BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre’s Osteoporosis program. Exercise is a proven effective treatment option for people with osteoporosis in combination with medication and nutrition. The program is safe for individuals with osteoporosis, as well as addressing the need for an accessible community program providing the transition from physiotherapy to group fitness classes for those who are at risk for falls and fractures. The program aims to provide safe and gentle

exercises for individuals with minimal previous exercise experience. The goals of Osteofit are to: •Reduce an individual’s risk of falls and fractures •Improve an individual’s ability to do day-today activities •Increase an individual’s confidence and independence •Improve an individual’s quality of life As we all know falls are an important cause of serious fracture. Approximately 30 per cent of individuals over 65 years of age fall at least once per year. Falls may result in individuals considerably reducing their activity for fear of future falls and almost half of fallers are unable to get up without help. Regular strength and balance training helps to prevent falls and it can reduce the risk of fall-related fractures in Retirement older adults. There are two types of classes. Level 1 is an introductory level class that focuses on developing strength
and endurance in individuals with no previous experience working with exercise equipment. Exercises include strength, agility, balance and resistance training. The goal is to improve participants’ capacity for activities of daily living. In Level 2, participants undertake a progressively more difficult exercise program that challenges balance, strength and agility. The aim is to improve posture and the ability to move as needed for daily activities through safe and specific movements in a supportive environment. All classes incorporate an education component.

INTRODUCTION
Bert was born in Holland and moved to Canada in 1951 when he was just 17 and met his wife the following year. He moved to Mission 26 years ago and has been known as “Bert the Mole Man” for 24 years. Before entering the mole control business, he worked in the steel industry.
VOLUNTEER
Bert is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and has served as a director in the past. He joined the local Communities In Bloom Committee in 2006 and has been the group’s president for more than two years. Of all the places he has lived, Bert says Mission is the friendliest.
KEEPING ACTIVE
Bert still manufactures his mole busters from his home and provides demonstrations at garden centres in the spring. He says he will never retire.
Take pride in where you live and who your neighbours are. It’s very rewarding. Bert Pulles

Something To Smile About! This couple have something to smile about. They used to wear dentures, which caused discomfort, an inability to eat many foods and a lack of confidence when it came to smiling and talking. Now they enjoy the freedom of NobelSmile dental implants, which are as close to natural teeth as you can get. People who lose a tooth want to replace it with something permanent, says Dr. Lui, instead of something they have to remove. “Once you give someone new, permanent teeth, you can see their personality shine through again.”
“Whether you have a single tooth, several teeth or everyone of them missing...we can help.”
