A Note FromJeanne’s Journal
Fifteen years ago this month, Ibegan my career as the ExecutiveDirector of Belmont Village. Insome ways, it seems absolutelyimpossible to me that fifteen yearshave already passed since I firstwalked through the front door atour community. I never dreamtthat I would have the amazingopportunity to work as yourExecutive Director for so manyyears. While I have enjoyedlongevity at other places ofemployment, fifteen years is amilestone for me.
In my many years at BelmontVillage, I have had the amazingopportunity to becomeacquainted with so manyremarkable residents, familymembers and staff. I have had thedistinct honor of sharing manyheartfelt discussions. Residents,families and staff have allowed meinto their lives so that I could helpthem on their particular journeys.I cherish all of these moments as I
feel so grateful to have been giventhe opportunity to help.
You have been there for me aswell during all the happy timesand the sad ones, too. I will neverforget how the community ofBelmont Village welcomed myaunt when she moved into ourcommunity many years ago. Thesame wonderful welcome wasextended to my mom when shearrived here last June. You helpedme celebrate high school andcollege graduations, a weddingand the birth of mygranddaughter. Through yoursweet cards, hugs and kind words,you helped me endure the loss ofmy dad and then just three yearslater, my mom.
Thank you for every second ofthe past 15 years. Thank you foryour trust and for opening yourhearts to me. I have cherishedevery moment.
I look forward to continuing toserve you for many years to come.I anticipate the future we willshare together and the memorieswe will create along the way.

HEART HEALTHY DIETHeart disease is the number
one killer of both men andwomen in the United States. Ifyou are worried about heartdisease, one of the mostimportant things you can do is tostart eating a heart-healthy diet.Changing your diet can help stopor even reverse heart disease.
A heart-healthy diet focuses onadding more healthy foods toyour diet and cutting back onfoods that are not so goodfor you.
Healthy foods are ones that arehigh in vitamins, minerals, fiberand other nutrients, such as:
Fruits and vegetablesBeans (including chickpeas and
lentils) and whole grains (such aswhole wheat, brown rice, oats,rye, bulgur, barley, quinoa,and corn).
Oily fish like salmon, trout,albacore, tuna, herring, mackerel,and sardines, which containsheart healthy omega-3 fatty acids.You can also get omega-3 fatsfrom omega-3 eggs, walnuts, flaxseeds and canola oil.
Limit foods such as unhealthyfats, such as saturated fats, transfat, and cholesterol.
Saturated fats are mostly foundin animal products, such as meats
and dairy products.Trans fats include shortening,
partially hydrogenated vegetablesoils and hydrogenated vegetableoils. Trans fats are made when aliquid fat is turned into a solid fat(for example when corn is madeinto stick margarine). They arefound in many processed foods,such as cookies, crackers, andsnack foods. Restaurants often usehydrogenated oils for frying foods,so try to limit fried foods wheneating out.
Cholesterol is found in animalproducts, such as eggs, dairyproducts and meats.
Salt (Sodium). You need somesodium in your diet, but mostpeople get far more than theyneed. Too much sodium tends toraise blood pressure. Processedfoods and fast foods often containa lot of sodium. Try to limit thesefoods and try to eat more freshfoods.
Eating foods that containunhealthy fats can raise the LDL(bad) cholesterol in your blood.Having a high level of LDLcholesterol increases your chanceof having clogged arteries(atherosclerosis), which can leadto coronary artery disease andheart attack.
Trans fat is especially bad. Itraises both the level of badcholesterol and lowers the goodcholesterol in the blood. Try toavoid trans fat as much aspossible.
