Safely manage multiple medications Individuals who are 60 and older are accustomed to making routine trips to the pharmacy to fill prescriptions. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that roughly 84 percent of adults between the ages of 60-79 use one or more prescription medications.

Prescription medications prolong individuals’ lives and can make their daily lives more comfortable and manageable.

As individuals age, their doctors may recommend various prescriptions, some of which they may need to take long-term. Managing multiple medications at once can be difficult, as it can be easy to lose track of which medications have been taken when individuals are prescribed more than one.

In recognition of that difficulty, the National Institutes of Health offers the following tips to help individuals safely manage multiple medications: • Maintain an updated list of all medications you take. The NIH notes a medication list should include both prescription and over-the-counter medications.

OTC medicines include vitamins, supplements and herbal products.

• Share your medication list with family or close friends.

A medication list should be accessible, and seniors can even share it with close family members, who can then advise medical professionals like EMTs, nurses and emergency room doctors which medicines you are taking in emergency situations

when you may not be conscious.

• Routinely review your medicine list with health care providers and pharmacists. The NIH recommends individuals discuss their medicines with their physicians during each appointment. Ask if all medicines still need to be taken and if dosages should be changed.

When visiting specialists, be sure to provide a list of all medications you are currently taking.

• Ask questions about newly prescribed medications. Drug interactions can be dangerous, so it’s important to ask if and how any newly prescribed medications may interact with drugs, vitamins or supplements you are already taking.

• Alert health care providers to any new side effects.

Immediately contact your physician if any new side effects present. The NIH recommends individuals continue to take their medications unless their doctor says otherwise.

• Use a pill organizer. A pill organizer makes it easy to manage multiple medications and can help individuals remember which pills they have taken.

Millions of individuals 60 and older take more than one medicine each day. Some simple strategies can ensure seniors safely manage their medications.

How seniors can overcome a lack of motivation to exercise Exercise has its fair share of devotees and millions of others who recognize its value but still struggle to include workouts in their daily routines. Motivation can be a significant hurdle when it comes to exercise, and recent studies are a testament to that difficulty.

In a 2021 survey from the global fitness brand Orangetheory® Fitness and Kelton Global, 43 percent of respondents indicated they suffered from a lack of motivation to exercise. Lack of motivation can affect people

of all ages, including seniors.

However, seniors may be uniquely positioned to overcome their lack of motivation to exercise, particularly if they’re retired and have time on their hands. Seniors who aspire to exercise more frequently can consider these strategies if motivation becomes an issue.

• Exercise away from home.

During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, a phenomenon that has been characterized as “basement burnout” developed. That

referred to the lack of enthusiasm to exercise at home when gyms and other fitness facilities were forced to close as a public safety measure. Home workouts can become monotonous since most people do not have enough room at home to house the same array of equipment that’s available at their local gym. Seniors can overcome monotonous workouts by purchasing a gym membership at a local facility. Many clubs offer discounted rates to seniors and some even offer senior-specific fitness classes like yoga and

Pilates.

• Employ the buddy system.

Seniors also can enlist friends and family members to join them when they exercise. Encourage neighbors or friends to come along to the gym for a favored fitness class, or invite friends and family on hiking excursions or daily walks. The National Institute on Aging notes that turning exercise into a social activity is a great way for seniors to maintain their motivation to exercise.

• Track your progress and celebrate your successes. The NIA touts the benefits of tracking progress when trying to stay motivated to exercise. As exercise efforts pay increasing dividends, seniors may find it’s no longer hard to stay motivated. Success can be measured in various ways.

Some might aspire to produce healthier blood test results at the doctor’s office, while others may hope to lose a few pounds.

However you define success, celebrate when you achieve your fitness goals. Rewards such as a spa day, a night out at the theater or a weekend getaway can provide all the motivation you need to stay the course.

physical limitations may affect seniors. But such issues need not prevent aging men and women from exercising, even if it does mean they won’t be able to hit the gym four or five days per week. Mix up your routine so you can still exercise even if physical limitations make traditional workout routines more challenging.

Go for nature walks on days when your body needs a break from strength-training, and check the forecast at the start of each week so you can rearrange your routine if Mother Nature makes outdoor exercise impossible on certain days.

Many people find it hard to stay motivated to exercise. Seniors can try a few strategies to ensure they stay the course with their fitness routines.

Berry grilled cheese Grilled cheese is a beloved comfort food that can be enjoyed any time of the day. Although there isn’t much that needs to be added to cheese to make it delicious, the inclusion of tart strawberries and blackberries in this recipe titled “The Sweet Sheep Grilled Cheese” from “The Reading Terminal Market® Cookbook” (Camino Books)

by Ann Hazan and Irina Smith pushes this sandwich over the edge of deliciousness. An additional cookie butter spread and chocolate chips makes this grilled cheese much more dessert than lunch, and can be an indulgent treat anyone can enjoy.

There’s nothing chilly about this warm meal Winter dinner tables tend to look a lot different at meal time than they do in summer. Come winter, people look to balance flavor with additional qualities that can chase away the chill.

In spite of its name, chili can warm anyone up quickly. Chili is often spicy, which means the dish gives off warmth in a multi-layered approach.

This recipe for “Totally Excellent Chili” from “Clueless in the Kitchen” (Firefly) by Evelyn Raab is spicy, but not too hot, and thin enough to be eaten with a spoon, but not to be mistaken for soup. Home cooks can customize the recipe further depending on their desired flavors.

Give this healthy dinner a Mexican twist All kinds of resolutions are made at the start of a new year, and most of them involve some sort of healthy habit. Losing weight and eating better often top the list of health initiatives.

Individuals who want to revamp their diets may be on the lookout for healthy recipes. “Health food” may evoke images of lots of leafy greens and bland grains, but diners can rest assured there are plenty of tasty options… even beef.

Historically beef may not be seen as healthy fare, but when enjoyed in moderation, beef can be part of a healthy eating/weight loss plan. This recipe for “Tender Salsa Beef” can replace Taco Tuesday on your weekly menu. For a kid-friendly option, be sure to use mild salsa. Enjoy, courtesy of “Taste of Home Healthy Cooking Cookbook” (RDA Enthusiast Brands, LLC) by the Taste of Home Kitchen.

The Sweet Sheep Grilled Cheese Makes 5 servings -2 cups Valley Shepherd whipped sheep milk ricotta -1 cup mascarpone cheese -10 slices soft brioche sandwich bread -3⁄4 cup blackberry jam -1 cup hulled and diced strawberries -1 cup diced peaches -1⁄2 cup cleaned blackberries, cut into quarters -3⁄4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips -1 cup speculoos cookie butter (see note) -1⁄2 cup softened unsalted butter In a bowl, mix together ricotta and mascarpone.

On a clean, dry surface, lay out five slices of the brioche. Spread equal parts blackberry jam on each slice.

Place a large spoonful of the mascarpone ricotta mix on top of jam (it may be helpful to use a piping bag) until

Totally Excellent Chili Serves 6 -11⁄2 pounds lean ground beef -2 medium onions, chopped -2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed -1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes -1 tablespoon Mexican chili powder -2 teaspoons ground cumin -11⁄2 teaspoon salt -1⁄2 teaspoon curry powder -1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or one small fresh jalapeño pepper, minced, or both) -2 19-ounce cans red kidney or pinto beans, drained and rinsed In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the ground beef with the onions and garlic, and cook, stirring to break up the clumps, until the meat is no longer pink and the onions are softened — about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, curry powder, and cayenne or jalapeño, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes. Add the beans and cook

Tender Salsa Beef Serves 8 -11⁄2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into -3⁄4-inch cubes -2 cups salsa -1 tablespoon brown sugar -1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce -1 garlic clove, minced -4 cups hot cooked brown rice In a 3-quart slow cooker, combine the beef, salsa, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or until meat is tender.

Using a slotted spoon, serve beef with rice.

all the mixture is used.

Evenly divide strawberries, peaches, blackberries and chocolate chips among each slice. Spread the speculoos cookie butter on the remaining five slices of brioche and place on top of the first slices.

Spread the softened butter in a thin layer on the outer parts of the brioche. Grill in either a panini press or in a hot pan. Slice and serve hot.

Note: If speculoos is too hard to find, here’s how to make it. Place 2 cups of ginger snaps in the bowl of a food processor and blend to very fine crumbs. Add 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, and process until a smooth paste forms (similar to consistency of peanut butter).

Refrigerate leftover portion and bring to room temperature when using.

for another 30 minutes, stirring often.

Serve this chili sprinkled with shredded cheese and accompanied by plain rice or freshly baked corn bread. If the chili is too spicy for you, a spoonful of plain yogurt or sour cream will help cool things down.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Aries, watch out because you are hot stuff this week. Coming off the excitement of the holidays, you’re still in the mood to socialize. The invitations to various social events will still flow.

Libra, after a season of partying and letting other tasks fall by the wayside, it is time to get back to focus. You must take out your financial account records and track spending right now.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Hopefully you’ve made progress on the various organizational projects that you have had in mind, Taurus. Now is the time to get those resolutions moving.

Take an inventory of the things you want to change about yourself, Scorpio. There is always room for improvement, especially if you feel you have not been your best self lately.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Gemini, how is your to-do list coming along? If you haven’t yet gotten moving, a coming slowdown could make the perfect time to get cracking.

Hopefully you have met your quota of parties and social events because now is the time to take a break, Sagittarius. The invitations will cease, but that can be a good thing for you.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, right now you may be feeling like hibernating, especially if the weather is changing. Don’t burrow under the covers just yet. Find a way to stay busy and socialize.

It’s often business as usual for you to burn the midnight oil, Capricorn.

But scale back on those late-night interludes. That’s a recipe for burnout that can derail your bigger plans.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, even if it seems the way to be the most productive, burning the candle at both ends is only going to make you tired and less efficient.

Ask for help if you need it.

Aquarius, you are the zodiac’s team player, so you may have to give the troops a pep talk to get everyone working together this week. Smooth down any ruffled feathers as needed.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your innate humility means you’re often content with being behind the scenes and not in the limelight. However, this week you may want a little extra fanfare.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 If you have any unfinished business that needs to get wrapped up, Pisces, the clock is ticking. Make a strong attempt to finish by Wednesday or Thursday.
