Josh was our hero today! 💪 Even in the miserable heat and humidity, he worked all day in the sun to build our 11 ft ramp to replace the stairs! He is exhausted! 😰 Everyone tried to help him and "supervised" the progress! I am so thankful for a husband and family that share my vision for the health of our seniors. All of the kids were unsure of what to do when it was all finished! A trip or two down the ramp and zoomies ensued immediately. Thank you, to everyone who donated and helped us reach our goal so quickly. This wouldn't have happened without you! GusGus, Buddy, Jake, and Baby did fabulous all on their own! Names will be engraved in the next week or two in honor of our donors! I will upload pics and videos at that point! We had a very productive day! 💗 Pictured: Bernard, Murphy, Baby, Puppy, Gigi 🐶 #webuiltaramp #buyaboardcampaign #thankyou #donors #support #safety #deckrebuild #seniordogs #nomorestairs #olddogsarehappydogs #whisperingwillowsseniordogsanctuary #whereloveiswhisperedtothelastbreath #weloveourseniors #happyhearthappylife #thankyouJosh (at Whispering Willows Senior Dog Sanctuary, Inc.)

"Before Young Life, I wasn’t really going to church much and was somewhat unaware of the stories in the Bible. I didn’t really confide in much people much less God himself. Now after 2 almost 3 years, I feel like I have a special family to guide me through this journey. Going to these meetings on Fridays is like a breath of relief from stress sometimes. Expressing myself to leaders and friends simply about how my day was or my thoughts feels like talking to my mom, sister, or brother. Young Life has shown me many different but relatable perspectives on how God blesses us every day and what events and sacrifices was made for me to be here. Even though I’m still learning more about God, I’m already grateful enough to where I’ve become stronger in my faith and glad to have Young Life from day one.” Sha-Nice~YL CH student (2020 Graduating Senior) #younglifenyc #ylcrownheights #weloveourseniors #testimonytuesday (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAqlXMPBs_a/?igshid=1jxvjmhor4qcw

Joint Health

Let’s face it, none of us are getting any younger (unless you’ve found the Fountain of Youth).

As we get older our joints begin to feel a little achy and may even sound like that squeaky door we’ve wanted to get fixed for so long now! Well there are solutions.

Joint health is very important to maintain as one ages. One major cause of arthritis and joint pain is the lack of magnesium in one’s body. Arthritis is the most common type of joint problem as the years increase. About 27 million Americans are affected by arthritis, and half of Americans that are over the age of 65 have been diagnosed with it. Arthritis tends to target the knees, hips, hands, spines and even shoulders.

Relax

But don’t stress out, because the best way to prevent joint pain is to relax! One cure is an Epsom salt bath! Epsom salt is rich in magnesium as well as sulfate which are easily absorbed through the skin. Sulfates that are in Epsom salt aid in joint protection.

Take it easy. As we move, we are continually using our joints, and they need a break! Walking down stairs, your poor knees take a force up to five times greater than your body weight!

Food

Remember our last post about food and mood? It talked about those fatty omega-3s, which despite the name are actually really good for you. Turns out that they are also beneficial to decreasing inflammation of the joints.

Not just omega-3, but antioxidants found in berries and other delicious foods help fight against free radicals that damage joints and contribute to their constant discomfort.

Work…but not too hard

Yoga and stretching are great to help ease the tension that joints build up. Don’t overly work your joints but make sure that they are working. Walking, stretching and other low impact exercises are perfect when taking care of you joints.

    You use your joints every day, so be good to them. Spend some time relaxing in a nice Epsom salt bath, eat healthy food to prevent discomfort and do some stretching to keep your joints active.
