Nutrition Corner with Jodie Wallace Make Hydration a Priority This Summer Eight cups of water each day is a start. However, adequate hydration during the summer season necessitates a higher intake. Age-related factors make seniors for susceptible to the dangers of dehydration. Keep a close eye on early indicators, such as dry mouth, fatigue, and dizziness. Taking multiple medications increase urinary output and may diminish thirst recognition which already declines with age. In fact, by the time thirst is detected, a dehydration state has already occurred.   





Tips To Beat the Heat: Drink 8 ounces of water each time medication is taken Keep water bottles in convenient places around the house, such as, next to your bed, your favorite chair, and always carry water with you when you leave home.

Balance intake with output. Each time you use the restroom, drink a glass of water; pay close attention to the color of your urine, clear or pale yellow urine is ideal; dark yellow or amber-colored urine indicates dehydration.

Avoid, or at least limit, beverage with diuretic effect, such as alcohol, caffeine, and high sugar content. Instead add fresh fruit to pure water and enjoy a refreshing cool drink infused water with natural fruit flavors.

Regularly eat foods with high-water content such as raw vegetables: celery, cucumbers and fruits: oranges, tomatoes, watermelon, grapes, and cantaloupe all of which contain over 90% water.

“No Job Too Small” Bonded

 Senior Announcements Message from the Antioch Senior Citizens Club President: To the Members of the Antioch Senior Citizens Club and its Staff, The Antioch Senior Center is, “Your Second Home”! And, being that it is your second home, we ask you treat each other as family. Let us reflect those same values that were bestowed upon us as children. Let’s hold true to the saying, “A home is only as strong as its foundation” because the foundation of the Antioch Senior Center is deeply rooted in Antioch’s history and our history as a senior center has always been a positive one which we must continue.

I would like to share with the member base what ASC means to me.

I have been a part of this family since 2004. In my first position as a kitchen staff, I made some very good friends; who to this day I would consider my extended family! We started off by going out to eat twice a month and eventually we got to know each other on a more personal level, and lunches became dinners and friends became Board of family! Our group size at one point was as large as 25+ members and restaurant tips became part of the bill as they Directors usually do with large parties! We would go to lunch once, twice or at times three to four times a month.

Monthly Meetings The Antioch Senior Center is not just a place for seniors to make friends and find family; it is a place in which a 1st Tuesday of new chapter in life begins for all of us; it is a safe-haven for fun, socialization and a place for life to thrive. So please consider what the Antioch Senior Center can become for you, because for me it has become a little of everything the month mentioned above and more.

Time: 12:30– Please share with friends and family the Jewel of Antioch, California and help the Antioch Senior Citizens Club grow.

2:00pm Location: Nick Rodriguez Conference Room

Upcoming Dates: Monday July 10 , 2017 and Tuesday Aug 1st, 2017 th

We have had inquiries about ales expensive cruise that will allow for first-time cruise passengers to discover the wonder of cruise travel. So we have scheduled a 7 day California coastal cruise out of San Francisco scheduled for October 2018. For the more experienced cruise passengers, who enjoy the luxury of high end amenities, this is a nice cruise to attend.

Old time favorites will be returning in 2018, an Alaska cruise including the land tour to Denali National Park, will span between May26-June 6, 2018. This tour gives you the entire Alaskan adventure, with great cruising and historic port stops on the inland channel, combined with the inland tour taking you to Denali National Park for a 2 night stay and an open dome train ride with close looks at both arctic animals and Mt. McKinley.

TO GET ALL THE DETAILS A REPRESENTATIVE FROM PRINCESS CRUISE LINES WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE FOR INQUIRES FOR BOTH OF THESE CRUISES. Everyone is invited to attend cruise expo 2018 where prizes will be awarded, refreshments will be served and reduced price incentives will be available for early signups and deposits.

As always, you don’t know what kind of costumes the tour office staff will have????

SINGLE SUPPLEMENTS Unfortunately, almost all of the major tours and cruises have an extra charge for singles as most group rates are based on double occupancy. Even though the Antioch senior center does not arrange for matching up singles to other singles we have had individuals leave contact information at the trips office. this has given some singles an opportunity to meet new people and see if their compatibility might give them a chance to participate in tours and cruises at an affordable price.
