Seniors and many others use payday loans as a financial bridge. When an unexpected expense comes up, a payday loan can seem to be the least expensive credit option, as opposed to an overdraft fee or bounced- check fee. But using this option often puts people on a merry-go-round debt cycle that is difficult to end. Even the basic fees are high:
1 thanks to National Consumer Law Center for this example.
Luckily there are lower cost alternatives for handling unexpected expenses. A financial coach from $tand By Me 50+ can help you clarify the best options for your situation. One product that folks find most helpful is Loans Plus, a payday loan alternative that is paid back over three months instead of two weeks - a major relief to borrowers. The loan is available for $250-$500 and the maximum interest paid on this loan is $12.49, not the $56 shown above! If you or someone in your life needs a loan, think of the financial coaches at $tand By Me 50+ and Loans Plus.
Call 302-651-3401 to reach the $tand By Me 50+ Program for financial coaching on how to get your finances in order.

You write a check dated in two weeks for$256 You get back today. $200 Interest and charges$ 56 The cost of a loan for two weeks is 730% annual percentage rate (APR).
Triple digit Annual Percentage Rates (APR) are the norm for payday loans. This is ex- ponentially higher than the cost to borrow from more traditional lenders. For instance, compare this 730% APR to the cost of a short term small dollar loan from a federal credit union. The maximum the credit union may charge is 28% interest and a $20 ap- plication fee, which translates to 28% APR. (If the application fee is charged to all ap- plicants, regardless of whether credit is extended, then it may be excluded from the APR, although the true cost is higher due to the fee.)
7 CHANGE TODAY FOR A HEALTHIER FUTURE Diabetes Prevention Program YMCA of Delaware
Join us to find out how to reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes New class starting at the Wilmington Senior Center, June 11th from 9:30-10:30am (1901 N Market Street, entrance in rear) FREE for recipients of Medicare parts A/B/C and commercial United HealthCare A SUCCESS STORY FROM WILMINGTON SENIOR CENTER
Mary and Greta have known each other for more than ten years, celebrating birthdays and holidays at parties with cookies and cake, even while bemoaning their expanding waistlines and lack of motivation for exercise. Each had been diagnosed with pre-diabetes and warned by their doctors to lose weight and change eating habits in order to reduce their risk of developing diabetes.
Last fall the two women joined the Diabetes Prevention Program offered by the YMCA of Delaware at Wilmington Senior Center. Sixteen weeks was a long time to commit to a program, but after the first week with Coach Janice, they were hooked. With fellow classmates they enthusiastically learned about counting calories, fat grams, fitness activities and healthy meals. The educational aspects of the program were secondary to the motivation provided in the weekly sessions, however. With encouragement from their coach and the group sessions, both Mary and Greta lost weight and developed a positive perspective on living a healthy lifestyle. The group held them accountable when they struggled to change and cheered them on when goals were met.
This year's birthdays were greeted with energy and gratitude. Instead of celebrating by eating cake, Greta made plans to buy new clothes to replace the ones that are now too big. And Mary vowed to continue using stairs instead of the elevator so she wouldn't lose the spring in her step. They both were ambassadors for the 2014 Diabetes Alert Day, inspiring others to complete risk assessments and consider participation in the Diabetes Prevention Program. Wilmington Senior Center is proud of their progress and honored to contribute to their new healthier lifestyles.

CAREGIVERS CORNER
5 Foods That Help You Sleep By Melanie Haiken, Caring.com senior editor
Lack of sleep plagues many caregivers, so we hope this article will provide good suggestions to help you get a good nights rest.
Should you let yourself have that midnight snack if you're having trouble sleeping and you think hunger might be part of the problem? Here are five foods that can actually help you drift off:
1. Cherries. Fresh and dried cherries are one of the only natural food sources of melatonin, the chemical that controls the body's internal clock to regulate sleep. Researchers who tested tart cherries and found high levels of melatonin recommend eating them an hour before bedtime or before a trip when you want to sleep on the plane.
2. Bananas. Potassium and magnesium are natural muscle relaxants, and bananas are a good source of both. They also contain the amino acid L-tryptophan, which gets converted to 5-HTP in the brain. The 5-HTP in turn is converted to serotonin (a relaxing neurotransmitter) and melatonin.
3. Toast. Carbohydrate-rich foods trigger insulin production, which induces sleep by speeding up the release of tryptophan and serotonin, two brain chemicals that relax you and send you to sleep.
4. Oatmeal. Like toast, a bowl of oatmeal triggers a rise in blood sugar, which in turn triggers insulin production and the release of sleep-inducing brain chemicals. Oats are also rich in melatonin, which many people take as a sleep aid.
5. Warm milk. Like bananas, milk contains the amino acid L-tryptophan, which turns to 5-HTP and releases relaxing serotonin. It's also high in calcium, which promotes sleep.

9 HEALTH & COMMUNITY INFORMATION TAKE YOUR BRAIN FOR A DANCE DANCING BOOSTS MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH by Candy Sagon, AARP, September 20, 2012
From the tango to the two-step, Americans are dancing their way to better health. Even if you flub a few steps, its still fun and great for stretching the midsection. It will make anybodys body more flexible.
Dance is a joyful, fun and effective way for seniors to stay active and healthy, agrees fitness expert Pamela Peeke, M.D., a spokesperson for the American College of Sports Medicine. Peeke says one reason dancing is successful is because most people dont think of it as exercise - even though dancing actually moves more parts of the body than walking. All that movement helps older adults improve their balance and flexibility, as well as increase muscle power in their legs and even strengthen bones, thanks to the fact that dancing is a weight-bearing exercise, a 2009 analysis of research in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity showed.
Recent studies have also found that dancing may protect against dementia. A Korean study last year in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine found that teaching the cha-cha to a small group of older adults twice a week for six months was enough to improve their memory and cognitive function on a number of tests.
For a group of Canadian seniors, ages 62 to 90, it was learning to tango that upped both their brain power and balance. The 2005 study by researchers with Montreals McGill University compared a group that took tango lessons twice weekly with a group that walked instead. After 10 weeks, both groups scored better on cognitive tests, but the dancers performed better than the walkers on multitasking tests. They also improved their balance and coordination. Dance can also help those with Type 2 diabetes lower their blood pressure and control their weight. A pilot study last year of African American women with diabetes found that dancing twice a week for just 12 weeks significantly improved their blood pressure, body fat and weight. The researchers, with the University of Akron and Case Western Reserve University, wrote that the camaraderie, enjoyment and laughter during dance classes helped the women become more physically active and, in the process, improved their health.
Study author Carolyn Murrock, RN, an assistant professor of nursing at the University of Akron who has studied dance exercise and diabetes, says dance works so well because its an enjoyable way for older adults to become more active. Even for those who are already active, dancing provides benefits without the wear and tear that other forms of exercise can cause, says Navratilova. She notes that dancing is easy on the joints. It really opened me up and elongated my body. Plus, she adds, Its a great workout and a lot of fun. Candy Sagon writes about health topics for AARP media. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT SENIOR ROLL CALL LIFELINE?
