Pain and Older Adult

10/6/2022

0 Comments

 
Pain is a signal that something may be wrong in your body. You’ve probably been in pain at one time or another but found that it often goes away as the body heals or with treatment. However, many older people may have ongoing pain from health problems like arthritis, diabetes, shingles, or cancer. 
 
A few things you can do to help manage your pain and feel better are:
  • Keep a healthy weight. Being overweight can slow healing and make some pain worse. A healthy weight might help with pain in the knees, back, hips, or feet.
  •  Be physically active. Pain might make you inactive, which can lead to more pain and loss of function. Activity can help. 
  • Get enough sleep. It can reduce pain sensitivity, help healing, and improve your mood.
 
The National Institute for Aging has released an informative booklet discussing different aspects of pain experienced by older adults.  To view the booklet, click the button below.

Healthy Aging Tips for the Older Adults in Your Life

8/16/2022

As a caregiver, you may worry about the health of older family members or other loved ones as they age. The good news is that adopting and maintaining a few key behaviors can help older adults live longer, healthier lives — and it’s never too late to start! Consider these tips to boost healthy habits:
  • Promote physical activity. Exercise can help reduce levels of stress and anxiety, improve balance and lower risk of falls, enhance sleep, and reduce feelings of depression.
  • Encourage healthy eating. Having a healthy diet can support muscles and strengthen bones, which can help with balance and independence.
  • Schedule regular check-ups with a doctor. Staying on top of doctor visits may help reduce risk factors for disease such as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
