It’s unavoidable – we are all getting older. The good news is we are learning new things and becoming the people we want to be. There is so much change. Perspectives, priorities, likes and dislikes as we gain experience. What else changes is our health and wellness needs change. The best thing you can do for yourself is to be prepared for what your body needs now and what it’s going to need in the future.
Keep active: I find writing helps keep my brain active – coming up with compelling content that resonates with other moms makes my brain cells feel alive. It’s also important to find something you love to do physically to stay active. I watch my kids playing soccer and sailing and I love their passion for what they do. That’s my goal: being as passionately active as my awesome kids. Sometimes, being active comes with foot pain, but that doesn’t have to slow you down (not if you don’t let it!) Be kind to your feet and try something like Scholl’s® Pain Relief Orthotics for Plantar Fasciitis to help with the pain from aggravated and inflamed tissue in the foot. Having these orthotics handy can get you back on your feet again in no time!
Look into your eyes! As a parenting expert, I know how much debate there is about screen time for kids. I think technology can be used responsibly to enhance our kids’ lives. The reality for aging eyes is that spending time in front of screens, inside where it’s dry, can make our eyes feel uncomfortably dry. Also, when you do get out into the cold of winter, your eyes can really feel it. Beyond environmental conditions, hormonal shifts or medication regime changes can leave your eyes getting dryer too. Outdoor play, indoor stays or even getting older, arm yourself with some drops like hydraSense® Eye drops, a new line of eye drops that provide long lasting relief of dry eyes. They have a clinically proven naturally-sourced lubricant and no preservatives.
You are what you eat. Calorie needs change as you get older and as your activity level changes. You might find you’re not as hungry as you used to be (that’s why senior menus tend to have smaller portions.) Talk to your doctor or a registered dietician to make sure you’re fuelling your body appropriately.
Take care of your heart. One of the risks of aging is heart attack, and it’s good to make sure you’ve got what you need on hand for yourself and your loved ones. Learning the signs of a heart attack, and keep ASPIRIN® 81mg in your home or bag/purse. If you think you or someone you love is having a heart attack, call 911 and chew 2 ASPIRIN® 81mg, it may help save a life.
Be proactive and keep your family feeling healthy, fit and safe for the rest of their lives! What are your best healthy living tips?
