Senior Health and Wellbeing | January 14, 2019
Senior Stress and Well-Being | Stress is just part of our life journey and there’s no avoiding it. Aging adults trade the worries of raising children and career concerns with other stressors. Older adults are often concerned and worried about their health or that of a loved one.
Seniors see that independence may be slipping away, and finances may be tight, too. The illness and death of loved ones come all too often. Stress is a normal symptom, but seniors may need new coping skills.
Studies have already shown that stress is connected with physical and mental problems, ranging from anxiety and depression to hypertension, and possibly even a lowered immunity. Stress left unmanaged increases heart disease risk by 40%, heart attack by 25%, and stroke by 50%! Other existing medical conditions may worsen from stress. What help is there for a senior?
There are techniques that seniors can learn to cope with stress and improve their health and well-being. Here are some items that could be helpful.
Firstly, if you are concerned about the health and well-being of your aging loved ones, we can help with 24-hour care. We offer senior care, post-surgery care, palliative care, personal care, senior living transition services, and much more!
