Being physically active is one of the core foundations of healthy aging. It improves strength and balance which significantly helps in preventing falls. It also contributes to having a healthy weight which lowers the risk of various health complications. For older adults, being active does not have to mean having a strict exercise
regimen. Doing household chores and taking daily walks are already examples of ways of being physically active. Moreover, there are many easy and good physical activities for seniors.
As your trusted provider of home health services in Burbank CA, we want to share with you other tips to become a physically active senior:
- Bonding with family and friends
Socializing with loved ones keeps us physically and emotionally energized. Playing with grandkids and dancing with family and friends during gatherings are fun ways to be active.
- Gardening and other hobbies
Gardening keeps a senior active and productive at home. For older adults who mostly stay at home because of their illness, our skilled nursing in CA can help you recover and/or maintain your good health so you can continue doing your favorite hobbies.
- Timely treatment for physical pains
When an older adult feels pain, it should not be ignored. Having physical pain or even discomfort discourages us from being physically active. Our physical therapy service is part of our medical home health care in CA. We help with pain management and strength training, among others.
