In some families with a history of certain types of cancer, however, people may inherit abnormal genes that place them at greater risk of developing the disease.

We Need to Talk
Talking with an older driver about stopping or altering driving can be a difficult and challenging conversation. This seminar, led by a trained facilitator from AARP, is designed to help adult children and friends learn to talk with their loved ones about remaining active and participating in the community when it is time to limit or stop driving.
The seminar will cover topics like warning signs, conversation openers, how to have an effective conversation about driving and finding other forms of transportation so loved ones can continue to be active and remain part of the community. Please join the conversation at either location.

DASH in a Flash!
The “DASH” diet has garnered a lot of respect, but do you know what it’s all about? DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stopping Hypertension. Keeping sodium down is important for good blood pressure, but don’t stop there. The DASH diet features an abundance of fruits and vegetables (high in potassium) as well as dairy products (high in calcium), plus nuts/seeds/legumes (high in magnesium). Join Karen Massey, RD, LD, for a synopsis of the dietary goals recommended in this style of eating on Wednesday, July 17, from 10 to 11 a.m. at INTEGRIS Third Age Life Center, 5100 N. Brookline, Ste. 100.
