SALT LAKE CITY - May 23, 2016 - PRLog -- In honor of National Senior Health and Fitness Day, MBK Senior Living is hosting the "Use It or Lose It" event on Thursday, May 26th at each of the company's 18 senior communities. The event will showcase how participation in the MBKonnection program enriches the whole person, mind, body and spirit, and positively affects seniors' health and wellness.

At Cottonwood Creek and The Wellington, the MBK communities in Salt Lake City, Utah, the "Use It or Lose It" event will be held at 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm respectively. Open to all seniors and their families the "Use It or Lose It" event will include three 15-minute interactive activities that focus on mind/spirit, body/spirit and cognitive/intellectual connections. Examples of activities to include: guided meditation, color therapy, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, brain aerobics or brain teasers. Following the activities there will be a short presentation about the benefits of healthy nutrition and the Mind Body Konnection program. Refreshments will also be served.

"At MBK communities, residents find new options daily to keep connected, engaged and fit," said Crystal Roberts, Corporate Director of Resident Enrichment. "While the mind/body connection is important at any age, it's especially critical to seniors to ensure they get the most out of life as they age."

According to Roberts, one of the most popular and beneficial program activities is guided meditation. Studies show that seniors who meditate experience improved longevity, are less lonely and have enhanced moods. In addition, results have suggested that practicing meditation may slow Alzheimer's and reduce the need for hospitalizations in elderly adults.

"MBK's emphasis on the whole person life enrichment combined with healthy eating creates a positive platform for seniors to age gracefully and in the best possible way," said Roberts. "Our hope is that seniors in the markets we serve will join us on May 26 to learn more about the Mind Body Konnection and how essential it is to use it before they lose it."
