6 THE EDITOR’S PAGE by Linda Green It's that time of year when the outdoors beckon! Spending time outdoors is good for all ages, but especially beneficial if you are “getting up there” in years. It increases our vitamin D levels, which helps fight certain conditions such as osteoporosis, cancer, heart attacks and depression. Make getting outside one of your goals for the summer, spending less time in front of the television or computer. Just making the trip to attend an indoor function can have some of the same health benefits. The health and social benefits of staying active are plentiful. Of course, you want to keep summer safety in mind. Summer can bring extreme heat that will increase the risk of dehydration, heat stroke, and other health risks, so be sure to practise safety first. Summer Ideas for Those with Mobility Issues Picnic at a Local Park or Playground - get back to nature by packing a lunch and eating outdoors. Your grandchildren might enjoy this outing as well. You can also just sit on a bench and enjoy the neighbourhood children having fun. Reinvent your Green Thumb - did you always enjoy gardening? There is no need to give it up even if you have mobility issues that keep you from bending over. Plant your vegetables or flowers in raised flowerbeds or pots. Adapt or purchase tools that will make working in the garden easier. Join or Start your Own Book Club - if your community does not have a book club, invent one. Ask you local churches for help in getting the word out or check with your local library; they may have an existing program. Then start by just sharing books that each of you have enjoyed. Attend a Coffee Group - or start one with your friends and neighbours. Members can take turns hosting in their homes. Meet once a week or monthly. Community Events Attend Museum Activities - many museums offer summer activities. Art Walk / Gallery Openings - Stroll your downtown to see what local artists offer. To see what your community offers, check the community events calendar in the newspaper. Catch a Sporting Event - this can be any local sporting event. Enjoy a local Little League team, your grandchild’s team, minor league or even a professional event. Many stadiums offer discounts for senior citizens. Walk Around the Flea Markets, Farmers Markets, or Craft Shows – check the community events section in your local newspaper or news broadcasting. Catch an Outdoor Theatre or Concert Event - again check your local media community events section.
