CUT CALORIES BY 15% TO STAY YOUNG

Maybe there's no need for a fountain of youth after all. New research suggests that cutting calories by 15% for two years can slow the metabolic process that leads to aging and protect against age-related diseases.

After just one year on a reduced-calorie diet, study participants saw their metabolic rates drop significantly. The lowered rate continued into the second year and led to an overall decrease in oxidative stress, a process that has been tied to diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's disease and other age-related conditions.

PASSOVER MODEL SEDER

Fleischman Office Manager, Melissa Thomas, with Memory Care Pavilion resident, Sarah.

Memory Care Pavilion residents, family, and staff participated in a Passover Model Seder Thursday at Fleischman! Everyone enjoyed singing, reciting prayers, and a delicious meal together. It is such a joy to see the residents remember and participate in the beautiful songs and prayers of Passover.

This event had a lasting impact on our new Fleischman Administrator, Sheila Pruzinsky, "I have to especially thank Bracha Drissman for the extraordinary daily passion she exhibits, and the love and energy she puts into making the lives of the residents she serves. Her endless efforts welcomed residents, families and staff to come together, work together, serve together, have a meal together, to make the event what it was. My most memorable thoughts are seeing the residents, families and staff together with one vision of sharing memories, meals and laughs, and taking pictures together. Seeing the families enjoy our staff means something special."

Thank you to everyone who made this day possible!
