MEN’S CLUB OUTING
The Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs is initiating a series
entitled —Men’s Health Tip of the Month.
The tips apply
equally to women and children. We would like all of Beth Shalom’s
members to take steps to improve their health. Here are some
basic steps.
Strength training is an important part of maintaining health.
As people age, their muscles become smaller and weaker and their
bone density decreases. The factor most responsible for the density
decreases is disuse, although age, hormonal changes, and dietarydeficiencies
contribute as well. If you don’t use it, you lose it. It
has been shown that poor muscle strength in midlife predicts
functional limitations and disability 25 years later. Resistance
training makes muscles stronger, increases muscle protein synthesis
and boosts the body’s production of testosterone and growth
hormone in men, helping to explain how muscles get bigger and
stronger. Larger muscles mean faster metabolism which burns more
calories. Even when at rest, muscle cells are more metabolically
active than fat cells. That is why people who maintain muscles
as they age are less likely to pack on extra pounds. Talk to
your doctor, and if you are healthy enough to start an exercise
program, don’t neglect the strength training. If you decide
to “pump iron”, make sure you learn how to do it
correctly. When done improperly, it can be harmful and even dangerous.

ROSH CHODESH
WOMEN'S GROUP
Learn about the many Jews who, after being driven out of Spain
in 1492, fled to the"New World"secretly practiced their
religion. More than 500 years later, the influence of these people
and their culture is still evident in New Mexico and the Southwest.
Vera Benjamin will share some fascinating information with us
as we welcome Rosh Hodesh Nisan on Sunday, March 14 at 7:00 PM
in the Beth Shalom Chapel. All women Bat Mitzvah age and over
are invited to join us. Bring your mother, your daughter, your
sister, your friend -- and, of course, your tambourine.
UPCOMING DATES…….
April 11—Rosh Hodesh Iyar
May 9—Rosh Hodesh Sivan
This group is open to women over
Bar
Mitzvah age. Please make plans to join
with us.
