Don't be afraid of getting old.
They say when you're 40, you’re over thehill.
No, you're not.
I'm Frances Dellaratta, and I'm 77 years old.
I'm from San Antonio, Texas.
I guess I'm a dancer at heart.
It’s just one of those healthier menus.
My name is Bianca and I work for the San AntonioFood Bank as a senior wellness navigator.
We're doing a group class right now so thatway we can do Zumba and a cooking demo because
one of our clients wanted to do it with herfriends.
We brought a recipe called the meatless burritobowl from the food bank.
SWIM is a Senior Wellness Intervention Modelprogram at the food bank.
We are grant-funded by Humana.
They teach you how to eat.
They give you good food.
It keeps you healthy.
It's pretty incredible how many people arein need.
They're on a set budget.
They're very vulnerable because most of themare eating what's cheap, not nutritious at
all.
Towards the end of the month, you're not goingto have poultry.
You're not going to have a good meal, so youstart looking at cans.
Sometimes when you don't have food, you don'treally want to eat because it's not satisfying
you.
We do education and distributions of foodto them once a month by us and then, a second
distribution by a volunteer within the month.
So, they get two food boxes, two produce bagsand then, one-hour classes with our navigators.
Excellent, Bianca.
That way, they can learn different thingsfrom diabetes education to food preservation,
nutrition education, exercise.
We’re going to do a little warm-up stretch.
We go to Zumba classes twice a month, andwe really shake it.
Yes, especially me.
They're changing their eating patterns.
They're starting to do more exercise outsideof what we're teaching them.
I can bend more.
I can reach down without going “Ugh.”
They're really using what we're teaching them,sharing it with their families, so everyone's
getting the knowledge.
It's really making a difference.
Well, if you don't use it, you're going tolose it.
And it makes you happy.
And you come out, and the blood is running.
It's good.
It's healthy for you.
Puts rosy cheeks.
