TOUCHMARK AT MEADOW LAKE VILLAGE
THE{FULL}LIFE
August 2014
Show and Shine car show draws intergenerational crowdOwners of classic cars, hot rods, custom vehicles, and bikes showcased their wheeled wonders for people of all ages during Touchmark’s third annual Car Show.
Friends and family viewed these four-wheeled and two-wheeled treasures, talked with owners, and enjoyed an afternoon of fun that supported an important nonprofit. Purchases from on-site food vendors benefited the local Metro Meals on Wheels program.
Participants included members of local car clubs, including the Western Idaho Model T Club, United Street Rods of Idaho, Valley Corvettes, and Idaho Chariots. A Touchmark resident also displayed a 1964 Ford Mustang.
Our environment, and how we feel about it, can have a huge impact on the way we feel. For many, the first areas that come to mind when we think of environmental wellness are things like reducing and conserving energy or reusing and recycling practices. These areas should be important to all of us, and they are areas of focus for Touchmark communities.
Another area to consider is the impact and benefits that house plants have on the environment and our wellness. Research at Kansas State University (2006, Park, Seong-Hyun) on indoor plants identified several therapeutic benefits, including reduced stress, lower heart rates and blood pressure, decreased pain medication, and less fatigue and anxiety. Indoor plants also add color and brighten mood, moisturize and purify the air, and sharpen focus and attention.
Some Touchmark communities have outdoor gardens, which are also beneficial for your body and soul. Gardening is considered a moderate to intense form of exercise and uses all three types of recommended activities—endurance, flexibility, and strength. Gardening also provides people with a sense of personal well-being through stress relief, education, and the creation of friendships.
Indoors and outdoors, plants offer many benefits. Do you have a green thumb? Would you consider teaching others how to have a green thumb? Share your thoughts and ideas with your community’s Life Enrichment/Wellness team. Help us enhance environmental wellness; consider adding indoor plants to your home environment. If you are interested in a list of safe plants, send me an email at [email protected].
