A Senior’s Guide to Self Care

Research by the American Psychological Association showed that 43% of those over age 60 reported feelings of isolation, which can lead to mental and physical health issues.

Seniors are a diverse group with various fitness levels and lifestyles. However, there are many changes associated with aging that you’ll probably need to prepare for.

Your daily habits can help you live a longer and more active life. Use these suggestions to develop your own self-care program for your golden years.

Staying Healthy:

1. Eat a balanced diet.

You usually require fewer calories as you grow older, but your nutritional needs may increase. That’s why it’s important to minimize empty calories. Focus on whole foods, including complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

2. Drink water.

Your sense of thirst also declines, and you may be more sensitive to the effects of dehydration. Start your morning with a big glass of water to replace the fluids you lose overnight. Carry a water bottle with you to sip from throughout your day.

3. Train for strength.

Resistance exercises can slow down bone and muscle loss. Lift weights, or use your own body weight for pushups and squats. Aim for three sessions a week with days off in between to rest.

4. Do aerobics.

Condition your heart with at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobics or 75 minutes of vigorous weekly activities. If you need to protect your joints, choose low-impact workouts like walking, cycling, and swimming.

5. Prevent falls.

Working on your balance will help you to avoid injuries that would reduce your ability to live independently. Stand on one foot while brewing coffee or talking on the phone. Study yoga and tai chi.

6. Limit alcohol.

You may have less tolerance for alcohol than when you were younger. Your metabolism slows down and your body composition changes. Drinking may also cause memory issues and interfere with some medications.

7. Sleep well.

It’s a myth that older adults need less sleep. Listen to your body if you need to shift to an earlier bedtime in order to get 7 to 8 hours of rest each night.

8. See your doctor.

Talk with your physician about your personal priorities based on your medical conditions and family history. Follow their recommendations for tests and screenings.

Staying Connected:

1. Get a hobby.

How do you make friends when you no longer attend school or work? Go to places where you can meet others who share your interests. Join a bird-watching group or a book club.

2. Use technology.

Stay in touch with family and friends, and expand your social circle. Ask your relatives to show you if you're unsure how to navigate social media and Zoom calls.

3. Continue learning.

Trying new things stimulates your mind and makes you more interesting. Invite a friend to accompany you to cooking classes and science lectures.

4. Volunteer for a cause.

Serve your community while you fight isolation. Contact the volunteer managers at nonprofits you care about. Organize fundraising events or answer correspondence.

5. Adopt a pet.

Animals can be a great source of social support too. Research shows that interacting with them lowers stress hormones and blood pressure. Offer to walk a neighbor’s dog if you cannot care for your own.

Self-care for seniors can add more joy and meaning to your life and reduce your risk for many chronic conditions. Make choices that will optimize your mental and physical well-being, and help you to maintain supportive relationships.
