2. If you read the title and said to yourself, wait a
minute, it’s July: July is the time to celebrate
independence and unification. As countries and as
individuals, we are keenly attracted to the notion
of independence. Research tells us that it’s our
lifestyle—things we do and choices we make—that
determines how we will age.
According to research done at California State University, Fullerton by C. Jessie Jones and Roberta E.

July is Berry Month!
Did you know that
blueberries can help with
your workout? The high
water content can help
keep the body hydrated
during exercise. Blueberries
have one of the highest
amounts of antioxidants
of any fruit and are a
complex carbohydrate that
provides you with energy.
A handful of blueberries
is a great snack to have an
hour before your workout.
Blueberries are also
considered to improve
memory as well as prolong
the aging process of the
brain.
The most nutritious way
to have blueberries is
fresh or frozen. Try this
healthy blueberry smoothie
recipe (just throw them in
a blender and blend until
smooth):
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or
nonfat plain yogurt
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 tsp honey

Diving into our work
(strength, endurance, agility, and
balance).” Simple, right? So why declare
interdependence? Because life happens.
Appointments, other priorities, injuries,
and many other reasons all serve to
interfere with or distract our attention
from exercise. Encouragement and
accountability can be essential to sticking
with a fitness program.
In our office, several team members go
to the local YMCA to exercise at noon.
Sometimes, we join a group exercise class
together, and other days we each do an
individual program; regardless, we check in
with each other. We carpool. We rearrange
schedules.
During this month when we celebrate unity
and independence, ask someone to start a
walking group with you. Join a class. Walk
around the corner and visit a friend. Ask a
Life Enrichment/Wellness team member
about steps you could take with others to
improve your fitness capacity.
Declare interdependence—and gain more
independence!

maintaining physical independence in later
years, email me at FullLife@Touchmark.
