Having elders in the house is very good for the family, but it is equally important to take care of their health.
This is because with increasing age, the elderly start facing problems like high BP, sugar, bone pain and memory loss.
In such a situation, doctors say that if some habits are adopted, the elderly can remain healthy for a long time and they can be easily protected from many types of diseases. Dr. Prasun Chatterjee, former professor of the department of geriatrics in Delhi AIIMS, has told about this.
Dr. Prasun explains that it is important for the elderly to prevent diseases and also to take care of them if they have any disease. It is not necessary that everything can be cured by medicines only. In many cases, correcting the diet of the elderly also provides a lot of benefit. Their diet should contain protein, fiber and vitamins. Be sure to include green vegetables, fruits and pulses in your diet. Eat their morning meal on time and do not feed them late at night. Try not to give heavy food to the elderly and include oats in their diet.
spend time with elders
It is very important to take care of both the physical and mental health of the elderly. In such a situation, it is important to spend time with them. Listen to what they have to say and also share your thoughts with them. Don’t let the elderly feel alone. Because this can increase the problem of mental stress and depression. Family members should spend time with them, interact and involve them in social activities. This greatly benefits the mental health of the elderly.
Also keep in mind that in case of any health problem faced by the elderly, they should consult a doctor on time and keep getting their health checkups done regularly. With this, diseases will be detected in time and good treatment will also be provided.
safe side
Take care of the safety of the elders at home so that they do not get hurt. This is because there are many magical conditions in which the elderly may feel dizzy and may fall in the house. In such a situation, it is important that there are no things like slippery, loose wires or bad lighting in the house. These can become a threat to the elderly.
