KEEPING HEALTHY IN THE NEW YEAR FAFHHC
ABOUT US A new year means a chance to create unique and healthy habits that will help you enjoy the year to the fullest. As we move into 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic still signifi cantly aff ects our daily lives. Especially for the more at-risk population — such as the senior population — taking precautions to stay healthy in this new year is essential. So make sure that this year you make senior health a top priority. So, how can you help improve the home care for your elderly loved ones and help them stay healthy this year? To help you with this crucial task, we have created a list of healthy habits that both caregivers and seniors alike can use to stay healthy in this new year.
WASH YOUR HANDS The COVID-19 pandemic has completely upset our daily routines and served as a source of anxiety for many of us. However, because of the constant exposure to terrible sicknesses, many benefi cial and healthy habits have become extremely important — especially washing hands frequently. As we get older, exposure to viruses and common colds can become way more threatening, and as such, making sure to thoroughly and frequently wash your hands becomes more important than ever.
REACH OUT TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY The past few years have been incredibly isolating. Especially for the elderly population, visiting relatives and friends was not easy in 2020 and 2021. While maybe safe in-person interaction with family and friends might not be possible for you at this time, it is essential to have meaningful interactions with loved ones. Luckily, there are ways to reach out to friends and family that are safe and still extremely meaningful. Even if you cannot have in-person meetings with your loved ones, there are many diff erent options for virtual conversations. From Zoom to FaceTime, there are many diff erent ways that you can interact with your loved ones if it is unsafe to meet in person.
MAKE HEALTHY EATING CHOICES One signifi cant part of staying healthy is maintaining a nutritious diet. Unfortunately, it can be easy to overlook eating healthy in senior living, mainly because preparing healthy meals requires more attention. However, making an eff ort to eat healthier poses incredible benefi ts to senior health. Finding ways to incorporate more fi ber, calcium, and vitamins into your diet are simple ways that you can drastically improve your overall health.
EXERCISE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE A BIG COMMITMENT
While we often hear that 30 minutes a day of exercise is the “right” amount, in reality, that isn’t an option for everyone. Because of this is why, here, we suggest just committing to 10 minutes of exercise a day. These 10 minutes do not h ave to be intense — they can be something as simple as going for a walk, doing yoga, guided exercises, or swimming. The point is to commit to just 10 minutes a day of getting your body moving.

KEEP YOUR BRAIN IN SHAPE! But exercising your body’s muscles aren’t the only things that benefi t from being active! The brain is an incredible organ that requires just as much attention as the rest of your body to maintain mental health and memory. Whether you are playing fun brain games that stimulate your memory, or you are simply making sure to engage in active conversations that stimulate your brain, working your brain as well as your body is a fantastic way to stay healthy this year.
HAVE A POSITIVE MINDSET! A positive mindset is essential to achieving an amazing healthy new year. Whether you are implementing a new, more nutritious diet, making sure to be active every day, or anything else, it all starts with a positive mindset. A positive attitude will help you through any challenges and obstacles you might encounter this year. And that is why maintaining a positive mindset is essential to making sure that your 2022 is as healthy as it can be. A new year is an opportunity for new healthy habits, but it can also be challenging to navigate these new habits for seniors, their families, and their caregivers.
