Health Tips for Seniors

It is important for anyone to try and stay as healthy

as possible. Seniors though need to take even better

care of themselves. Below are a few tips to keep yourself

healthy, fit and happy.

Get active; Physical activity is an immune system booster.

The more you move the more your body is able to fight

inflammation and infections. It doesn't have to be strenuous,

low impact exercises are effective too.

Take supplements as necessary; Some supplements are a

great way to support a healthy immune system.

Before taking any please talk to your pcp. Recommendations

for seniors are calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12.

Eat a healthy diet; Diets rich in fruits, veggies and lean meats

also give your immune system a boost and protect against

harmful viruses and bacteria that cause illnesses.

Wash your hands frequently; Washing your hands on a

regular basis is a great way to stay healthy all year round.

Viruses can live on surfaced for up to 24 hours.

Wash your hands with soap and warm water

for at least 20 seconds.

Learn how to manage stress; Chronic stress

increases your body's production of the stress hormone cortisol.

Too much cortisol can disrupt different functions

in your body, including your immune system.

Get plenty of rest; Sleep reduces your stress level, gives

your body time to repair itself, it helps fight viruses,

helps memory and concentration. You should aim for 7-9

hours of sleep per night.

Schedule annual physicals; your normally yearly physical

and all the other tests you should have when you are

older are important to stay on top of.

Avoid contact with people who are sick; when you are

older you are at higher risk for getting sick, so stay

clear of sick people if possible.
