The Pine Knoll Shores Womens Club celebrated the holiday season on
December 2 with a Christmas luncheon for members, family and friends. With
music provided by Dick Cumberland and a holiday buffet hosted by The Country
Club of the Crystal Coast, it was a festive way to end the 2016 club year.
With the arrival of 2017, club members are prepared to stay active in the new
year by following the healthy living tips offered by new club member Lisa Park at
the November meeting.
Lisa moved to Pine Knoll Shores from Asheboro in March and immediately
embraced the towns volunteer culture by joining both the Pine Knoll Shores
Womens Club and the Garden Club. Lisa has many years of experience as an Active
Living Coordinator, teaching Silver Sneakers exercise classes, designing fitness
challenges and promoting an active lifestyle. We can counteract the normal effects
of the aging process, which causes loss in bone density and muscle mass and slows
metabolism, she explained, by practicing simple exercises that encourage moving,
stretching and cardio activities
Walking is the safest form of aerobic exercise, and Lisa stressed that it doesn’t
take fancy equipment or special clothing to engage in a healthy lifestyle. She led the
group through a series of exercises that can be done at home or outside in many
locations around Pine Knoll Shores. Lisa provided a list of benefits to both mind
and spirit that exercise provides: strengthening heart and lungs, building bone,
burning calories, fostering weight loss, boosting energy and improving mood.
She led the group through a discussion of the “Power Nine”—habits or common
denominators that help humans live a healthier, longer life. Studies have shown that
people in various locations around the world that have the largest number of people
over 100 years of age have the following in common:
1. They move naturally and regularly—their cultures encourage daily
movement.
2. They know how to “downshift” and release stress—they pray, take naps.
3. They have a purpose in life, something to live for.
4. They embrace the 80% rule—stop eating when full.
5. They drink moderate amounts of alcohol each day.
6. They eat a predominantly plant-based diet.
7. They belong to the “right tribe”—their cultures encourage socializing and
daily contact with others.
8. They live in faith-based communities.
9. They put their loved ones and families first and commit to a life partner.
Try some of the above behaviors in 2017 for a more balanced, stress-free and
longer life.
The next meeting of the Pine BCnoll Shores Women’s Club is scheduled for
January 27 at town hall, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Dr. Michael Souci, chief pharmacist
of Carteret Health Care, will speak about drug interactions.
How to Reach a PKS Police Officer
There is an alternative method to reach a Pine Knoll Shores police
officer for non-emergency situations. If you need to ask a question or
simply pass along information, please call 726-1911 and your call will be
answered by the County Communications Center. When you ask to have
a Pine Knoll Shores officer call you, the operator will ask for your num
ber and the nature of the call. An officer on duty will call you directly on
the number you provide.
If there is suspected criminal activity or if you need an officer to come
to your location for another reason, call 911. It is essential that officers
be centrally dispatched via the 911 system when physically responding
to a location.
