Rest Homes Hamilton- A Healthy Lifestyle


Being aware of your elderly home health care needs will contribute to your high quality of life. This is important because I don't think you want to live longer with a poor quality of life but prefer to live longer while enjoying a high quality of life. It is my desire to provide you with information that will allow you as seniors to achieve this goal.Checkout rest homes hamilton for more info.



According to Lucille Ball, the secret to staying young is "eat slowly, live honestly and lie about your age". If I interpret "staying young" as being physically, mentally and emotionally healthy then staying in your existing home can help you as seniors to actually "stay young".


One of the best ways to ensure you can remain in your existing home as long as you want to is to know that your elderly home health care needs involve having a healthy lifestyle which will allow you to maintain your energy and vitality.


This includes high quality nutrition by eating a balanced diet rich in real, whole, minimally processed foods. This will help you maintain a healthy weight and provide lots of essential anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant compounds. It also includes participating in physical and mental execise regularly, taking part in social activities, minimizing stress and taking supplements as needed.


General Recommendations
Since we spend about a third of our lives sleeping, this is a vital elderly home health care need. It is therefore a good idea to invest in a good quality comfortable bed and pillow. This could help in ensuring plenty of high-quality sleep. You may also find that you get a better night's sleep by using earplugs to block out noise and by wearing a mask over your eyes to block out any light in the bedroom.


Protect yourself from the sun's harmful UV rays by wearing a hat and sunglasses when you venture outside. It's also a good idea to wear sunscreen.

Invest in several pairs of good quality and comfortable shoes.

Consider getting a pet if you don't already have one. Pets have a way of providing companionship, comfort, and exercise (if you have to take your pet for a walk).

Speaking of things we subject our bodies to that have no redeeming value, don't smoke! This comes as no surprise as we have been hearing for years now that smoking kills!

Avoid unnecessary medications, procedures and surgeries. Of course you should discuss this with a qualified medical practitioner, but don't be afraid to get a second opinion.
