Senior Center
[Music]

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:26,519
good morning everyone so what we do here
we create this group where we bring some

5
00:00:24,119 --> 00:00:33,780
of our seniors that actually are taking
care of somebody else or care for

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:40,260
someone so we can help them connect
the caregiver part with nutrition and

7
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:46,320
cooking because nutrition being food
protected is one of the main reasons for

8
00:00:43,739 --> 00:00:51,180
us to keep ourself and our body up and
running so we just want to show our

9
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:58,739
seniors by cooking by touching
ingredients how nutrition cooking eating

10
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:03,260
is well connected when you take care of
someone or while you've been taken care

11
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:03,260
of

12
00:01:05,460 --> 00:01:13,680
stable when they're at home okay
[Music]

13
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:17,600
so today we make a breakfast muffin so
we taught the seniors how to make it

14
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:24,960
what ingredient
contains and the importance of those

15
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:30,540
ingredients for them so we pre-chop some
of the vegetables but our seniors were

16
00:01:27,540 --> 00:01:34,380
able to actually break the egg whisk it
add all the ingredients make sure

17
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:40,320
they're seasoning with a little salt and
pepper and then put it in the oven so

18
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:45,500
they're actually making
that dish and then be able to enjoy it

19
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:52,439
we also
incorporate a drink so they were able to

20
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:59,820
prepare a tea with fresh ingredients
which that was mint Ginger and lemon

21
00:01:57,060 --> 00:02:07,380
for the frittata or the breakfast muffin
what we use we use eggs we use broccoli

22
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:13,800
we use turkey bacon we use a scallion we
use cheddar cheese and green peppers

23
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:19,680
but the beauty of it was also that we
want to showcase to all of them so that

24
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:24,780
we can bring into reality what what
taking care of other and you being take

25
00:02:22,020 --> 00:02:28,560
care of means so everybody was making
their own dish right so they were all

26
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:32,340
excited no I'm gonna add more bacon to
mine I'm gonna add more pepper to mine

27
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:37,620
but guess what we put it all on the
muffin pan and then we bake it and then

28
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:45,060
everybody was eating somebody else plate
so everybody was eating a dish that they

29
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:50,879
put so much love and energy into it and
that's what we want to broadcast here

30
00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:54,900
you know that we use great product fresh
product but at the same time when we're

31
00:02:52,800 --> 00:03:00,300
making something we make it with love
and then that we transport that love and

32
00:02:57,959 --> 00:03:05,060
that energy for somebody else sometimes
without even you knowing and that's what

33
00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:05,060
was going on today

34
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,659
[Music]

35
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:20,879
so this has already grease on it we
spray it so I wanted to put it in there

36
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,319
I'm gonna get it so that's six of them
one two three four five six

37
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:37,620
what we make with this is fresh tea we
have fresh mint and then we have some

38
00:03:34,019 --> 00:03:41,940
fresh ginger root okay we boil it for
roughly maybe 15 minutes and now we're

39
00:03:40,019 --> 00:03:45,480
gonna serve it to our seniors and they
will incorporate it on Lemon so they

40
00:03:43,799 --> 00:03:51,780
will squeeze a little lemon and put some
honey to the you like it

41
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:57,780
when you have a cup of tea it's not just
a drink when we're seniors or when we

42
00:03:55,019 --> 00:04:04,319
are a little ill you know feeling that
warm on that cup on that glass it helps

43
00:04:01,379 --> 00:04:13,260
you it helps your circulation and any
help you feel loved I will say also

44
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:19,199
adding all those fresh herbs that Aroma
actually help our seniors and help

45
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:25,919
anyone that drink tea for us to calm
down to inhale that positive energy but

46
00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:33,300
also at the same time we're having all
the great nutritions that those herbs

47
00:04:28,979 --> 00:04:37,740
come with it so while you have a cup of
tea you're not just drinking a liquid

48
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:43,919
you're drinking love you're drinking
Health you're drinking

49
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:49,620
um positive energy so that's what they
enjoy so a lot of them they have never

50
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:54,360
experienced a to have a fresh tea they
always just get a tea bag and and that's

51
00:04:52,380 --> 00:04:57,600
it but now they know that they can have
any fruit they can have an orange they

52
00:04:56,220 --> 00:05:03,240
can have a mandarin they can have a
lemon they can have a lemon shallow

53
00:05:00,780 --> 00:05:08,340
um herb they can have mint they can have
basil and they just incorporate that

54
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:12,360
with hot water and some fruit they can
combine it they cover a little bit and

55
00:05:10,139 --> 00:05:17,820
just by their smelling that the energy
change the energy they they the mold and

56
00:05:16,139 --> 00:05:22,620
everything change and they become more
happy or they become more calm and also

57
00:05:20,580 --> 00:05:27,180
they uncover what helped them to go to
sleep you know a lot of these things

58
00:05:24,539 --> 00:05:31,860
that we're making they discover that
they become more calm and that helped

59
00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:36,000
them to when they take their nap or if
they just want to relax a little bit so

60
00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:41,400
the importance of eating healthy the
importance of of incorporating fresh

61
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:48,120
item is not just for you to be healthy
it's also for your inner self to be calm

62
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:55,380
and on a happy mode on that all the love
that we receive by food and by people is

63
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,380
all connected yes

64
00:05:57,810 --> 00:06:00,949
[Music]

65
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:17,280
you know the the body is so perfect but
if you don't feed it with what you

66
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:22,080
specifically need it's not gonna work
good so when you take care of somebody

67
00:06:19,740 --> 00:06:27,360
else and that person doesn't have food
security or the food security they may

68
00:06:24,660 --> 00:06:33,600
have is some food that are not good at
all for them okay so that is why it's so

69
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:41,100
important that we the source of the food
comes from a place that is great food

70
00:06:37,139 --> 00:06:46,199
good food that is safe for us to eat and
most important that is fresh so that's

71
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:49,680
why Phoenix Food Hub is for us like as
soon as we know me and Michelle that

72
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,940
we've been working together since we
opened the senior center we're like oh

73
00:06:51,539 --> 00:06:58,500
no we have to do this this is the best
way for us to incorporate for our

74
00:06:55,919 --> 00:07:06,319
caregivers to give them the opportunity
and the spotlight so they can actually

75
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:06,319
take great care of their loved ones

76
00:07:07,860 --> 00:07:15,840
if you're looking to learn if you're
looking to actually connect with others

77
00:07:12,419 --> 00:07:21,660
because we don't only cook here okay we
also share all the seniors that come

78
00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:26,639
here that are caregivers or or are or
providing or receiving that Services

79
00:07:23,479 --> 00:07:32,940
they share they share those moments and
they share what is important for them

80
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:39,900
and also the greatness of a lot of them
receiving all the services that galise

81
00:07:36,259 --> 00:07:45,599
City and the state provide it's amazing
to see how Michelle and I we can just go

82
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:50,280
over and we feel so happy knowing that
there was a lot of people that they

83
00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:54,240
didn't have an opportunity to be safe at
home and a lot of people that they

84
00:07:51,780 --> 00:07:59,940
didn't have an opportunity to feel good
because they didn't have the right

85
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:05,699
resources or they didn't have any ideas
on how to use services and also

86
00:08:02,699 --> 00:08:10,919
