Living a Healthy Life Can Postpone Your Care Needs

Every day we make choices to how we live – which foods we eat, how much food to eat, how often to exercise and how much exercise to do. The fact is that someday, many of us are going to need the help of someone else just to make it through the day. We see it at Caring Senior Service each and every day. The good news is that with a few small changes we can extend the timeline so our care needs are put off as long as possible. For those that have current needs, regular exercise and good nutrition can help get you back on your feet and reduce the amount of care you need.

Three small changes you can make include getting more exercise, eating fresh food and eating the right amount of calories for your body type (this may mean eating less food if you’re overweight). While these three changes are good, don’t ignore other obvious things such as limiting alcohol, stopping smoking and regular well check ups with your doctor. Eating healthy and getting exercise can have many effects: reduce high blood pressure, help prevent diabetes, ward off depression, reduce risk of stroke and cancers and help you win marathons. Ok the last one may require an extensive regime of good eating and exercise, but I’ve not met many marathon runners who don’t live healthy, have you?

In the end, living healthy is less costly than needing help from someone else. The longer we live the more important it is we live healthy. Make some simple changes today and start seeing effects tomorrow. If you need some help getting started, call any one of our offices and our staff will put you in touch with a personal trainer or a local nutritionist that can help get you on the right track.
