Dad walking. Today he has gone past the corner. Even though he doesn't necessarily feel like going getting him out into the sunshine and moving is so important for him to continue to go to the toilet unaided, clean his teeth and continue to be as independent as possible as a man who is almost 101yrs old.

I've been experimenting with wraps. This is a lentil wrap with cos and cucumber salad.
Soak 1 cup of lentils in hot water for about 3 hrs. Drain and blend with cup water and clove of garlic if desired. Blend. I made 3 wraps.

Did you know that falls are the biggest threat to older people?
This is because as we get older our muscle strength and balance may reduce resulting in a fall accident.

Older adults can do a number of things to help improve muscle strength.
Land based exercises using weights
Water aerobics or Aqua fitness
Yoga
