BOOMER Magazine: May 2019
BOOM! Just like that I find myself with a new description — I’m a Boomer, and proud of it. There is a lot to be said of our generation, but the thing I keep coming back to is this: We have lived through some of the most fascinating times, and we continue to do so. We look in the rear-view mirror and there is so much to see. Politics, sports, education, travel, work — all the grand experiences of our lives; and I for one enjoy looking back, but I also look forward with great anticipation and wonder, and that’s what BOOMER is all about — our lives and our future. How fortunate we are, this generation of doers and the shapers of the future. We are living longer and arguably better than those who came before us. But like them, we take our place on our planet seriously and we impact the world and those around us in a big way. We are a generation that saves. We are a generation that fought (and is still fighting) for the things we have. We are a generation that gives to charities and those in our community in a bigger way than any generation who came before us, and for all of this we should feel proud. BOOMER Sacramento is designed to celebrate our generation and the life we live and will continue to live. We will very likely live longer and better than any before us, and we will love and be loved longer than our predecessors as well. Making magazines is something we have done for decades and we enjoy the heck out of it. We are blessed with a wonderful staff, fantastic advertisers who allow us to put this all together, and most importantly, readers like you. We promise to listen to you and to strive to make this a magazine you come to enjoy and look forward to each month. Lastly, please let us know what you think of our new publication — if you love it, please email me at terry@stylemg.com; if you find yourself not loving it and feel the need to let us know, please email wendy@stylemg.com – it’s her fault! —Terry Carroll & Wendy Sipple

as help with management of weight and<br />
diabetes. Additionally, diets low in fiber have<br />
been associated with increased risk of colon<br />
cancer. The daily recommended intakes are<br />
25g of fiber for women and 38g fiber for<br />
men.”—Emily Ramsey, Registered Dietician<br />

Body Check<br />
“Know your body. See your doctor or practitioner<br />
if you have any new lumps, bumps, or<br />
rien<br />
pains that don’t go away. Better to be safe<br />
than sorry. It’s easier to treat something early<br />
rather than late.”—Cathy Anthony, Oncology<br />
Nurse Navigator with Sutter Cancer Center<br />
at Memorial Medical Center, 916-453-3300,<br />

Knowledge is Power<br />
“Learn about the foods you’re eating. Some<br />
foods may be less healthy than you think.<br />
Some of those multigrain breads or prepared<br />
salad dressings may have more calories, fat,<br />
and sodium than some junk foods.”—Cathy<br />

Sutter Cancer Center at Memorial Medical<br />
Center, 916-453-3300, sutterhealth.org/services/cancer<br />
Friends in Need<br />
“Studies have shown that people with<br />
mental health difficulties are significantly<br />
at higher risk for physical health problems<br />
and a shorter lifespan. Socialize and spend<br />
time with others who are supportive and<br />
positive. Socialization increases resilience<br />
and can make a drastic difference in how a<br />
person tolerates stress.”—Jennifer Thomas,<br />
PsyD, Director of Clinical-Behavioral Health<br />
Services and Chief of Psychology at Sutter<br />
Center for Psychiatry, 916-386-3000, sutterhealth.org/scp<br />
Peace of Mind<br />
“Take time to pay attention to your<br />
senses. Try to engage fully with the important<br />
people or aspects of your life. Learn<br />
about how mindfulness works. Studies have<br />
shown that mindfulness reduces anxiety<br />
and increases mental and physical health.”—<br />
Jennifer Thomas, PsyD, Director of Clinical-Behavioral<br />
Health Services and Chief of<br />
Psychology at Sutter Center for Psychiatry,<br />

No Regrets<br />
“Living in the moment can allow you<br />
to live life more fully and may help<br />
reduce anxiety and stress. Try not<br />
to live in a ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda’<br />
[mindset]”—Cathy Anthony, Oncology<br />
Nurse Navigator with Sutter Cancer<br />
Center at Memorial Medical Center,<br />
916-453-3300, sutterhealth.org/services/cancer<br />
Walk This Way<br />
“Even a short walk out in the sun or in<br />
nature can improve your mood and<br />
health. It’s important that when taking<br />
that walk you try to engage and notice<br />
your surroundings.”—Jennifer Thomas,<br />

Hang Up<br />
“Put down your phone. Our lives are<br />
becoming consumed with digital<br />
devices and social media. Limit your<br />
screen time and achieve greater happiness<br />
by spending more time with<br />
those who really matter to you in life<br />
