Tips for Staying Healthy in the Elderly
The different nutritional needs of senior citizens should be balanced with a regular and healthy lifestyle. Discipline and self-awareness factors must be applied to have a long life.
What are the ideal nutritional intakes and activities for senior citizens?
In this post I will discuss it for you.
Okay, seniors don't depend on age. Because there are people who say that getting the word bubonic for life is considered a senior. So, senior is like a ripe coconut. The more mature, the older the more coconut milk.
So we have to have some kind of respect that one day we too will be like them. But what I want to talk more about today is about before talking about the current elderly, what are the changes in their lives?
They had 3 major lifestyle changes.
First, they changed professions to become MC. So the MC I mean is (Momong Grandchildren).
Well, for raising grandchildren, it's not just raising grandchildren. It turns out that the term mothering grandchildren is not just a package for mothering grandchildren, All In.
The second thing we need to pay attention to is that this senior age is the age when all of us have savings when we are young, it explodes, the interest is visible. So, we get the interest when we are seniors.
Well, that's why at the age of seniors, many people who are old, really want to prove something.
"I'm still young."
Moreover, he is actively connected with social media. Now this is the second phase of senior people connecting with social media. Because I'm unemployed, I don't work. He's got Facebook, from ancient friends. That's a danger to the elderly, because all the information is swallowed whole.
And people are shocked by the information, it is also dangerous. When I was young I wasn't really connected to social media. So, they have not been able to filter company information, e-mails, leaflets and so on. Then the old age began to be bombarded all.
I hear a lot when young parents rarely exercise. Then when the age was getting senior, he began to retire,
"I want to go to fitness from now on, I want to do yoga, I want to blah...blah...blah..."
We have an ambitious structure. This is what I don't like.
OK, nutrition remains. A lot of people say I have to drink milk, once I have entered the senior age community. The problem is not about milk, the problem with milk that is being championed once again is calcium. Yet what we need is not only calcium for strong bones. We must have phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin B3.
So, eat a balanced diet. Balanced is the right carbohydrates, enough protein, then the fat intake is from good fats.
First, what I want to say to my parents. Please, what is inherited is not just diamonds, houses and land. If there are foods that when we enter senior age, it is no longer suitable, pass it on to our grandchildren or children. For example, foods rich in carbohydrates.
Precisely because of senior age, try shifting to food for seniors. Rich in antioxidants, rich in fiber, slow to digest into sugar. Especially if it's not vegetables and fruit.
According to general guidelines, a balanced diet should be 3-5 servings. Just imagine if one day we can eat 3-5 servings.
This is not a three-piece cucumber beside fried rice, that's a requirement. So, yes, vegetables are up to five servings a day. And avoid the same food over and over.
For our mother, we are talking about cooking long beans. All he thought was stir-fried long beans, again stir-fried long beans. Maybe you have to suspect, this mama may have started to back off a bit. Because the creativity of the old man will regress once he is no longer functioning properly.
My message for quality life for seniors. Life is to be a good old age, be happy.
And to be happy, you can be grateful. And the name is grateful in life, sometimes we don't necessarily get what we want.
Do you know why?
Because everything we need, has been given. That's the view.
Hopefully useful, thanks for reading.
Best regards always.
