I hope you all are fine by the grace of Allah Almighty. I am fine too . Today I am going to take part in the contest that is organized by @sahmie.
Promoting better health in elders is necessary for their betterment. By following some methods we can do this.
Firstly by accessing health care services we can do this . By providing transportation services for medical services and offering health care services at home. Secondly by offering health care programs . These programs should include healthy diet , exercise , mental health awareness. Thirdly by promoting healthy diet . Elder people should take healthy food. They must be aware of the food that are healthy for them . Which also enhances their mood. Forthly by promoting better mental health which include counseling, therapy and common issues like anxiety and depression.
Maintaining good mental health and well being in elders is somehow difficult but we can do it by the following:
• Elder people should have good connections with friend ,family and relatives. Regular interaction with their closed ones might decrease the chance of anxiety and depression in them and help them to stay happy.
• They must include some physical activities in their daily life . Which keep them busy and active . Exercise is shown good for them this help them to reduce depression. They must do walking, swimming and playing .
• They must have weekly checkups . If they are suffering from any disease it can be cured on time . To avoid any big loss.
Here are some strategies that can be used to avoid chronic pain in elderly:

Improving access to health care is necessary in elderly so that they can receive timely medication if needed.
• By providing facility of mobile medication like such apps and vans which can help elders to get treatment on time. It can also facilitate people who are unable to receive medication that are living in remote areas.
• By helping them financialy . If someone is not able to get treatment because of cost. Government should introduce such programs that can help them to get treatment immediately. Making hospitals that can provide them treatment free of cost . Or give them some monthly income.
Few steps can be taken to address social isolation.

I hope you are well and enjoying your life very well and I saw your post and I like this post very much the pictures you have posted are very effective. And what you have written about the elderly is very good because when they get old, their memory slowly fades and they forget the old things and if we tell them some such things we If they speak, they often forget, so we should take care of this thing so that they don't forget, it is a good thing to feed them local food so that they can take care of themselves and they can also protect themselves. Care should be taken for those who are mentally and physically weak
