The coronavirus outbreak has been a difficult time for everyone, but it has been especially challenging for older adults. Seniors are at a higher risk of developing serious complications from COVID-19, and they are also more likely to be isolated from their loved ones.

However, there is hope. There are many things that older adults can do to stay healthy and happy during this difficult time.

Stay Connected

One of the most important things that older adults can do is to stay connected with their loved ones. This can be done through phone calls, video chats, or even just writing letters.

Staying connected helps to reduce loneliness and isolation, which can lead to a number of health problems. It also helps to keep older adults mentally sharp and engaged.

Stay Active

Another important thing that older adults can do is to stay active. This can be done through exercise, hobbies, or simply getting out and about.

Staying active helps to keep older adults physically fit and healthy. It also helps to improve their mood and cognitive function.

Eat Healthy

Eating a healthy diet is important for everyone, but it is especially important for older adults. A healthy diet can help to boost the immune system, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and improve overall health and well-being.

Older adults should focus on eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. They should also limit their intake of processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats.

Get Enough Sleep

Getting enough sleep is essential for everyone, but it is especially important for older adults. Sleep helps to repair the body and mind, and it can also help to improve mood and cognitive function.

Older adults should aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night. They should also try to create a regular sleep schedule and stick to it as much as possible.

Manage Stress

Stress can take a toll on anyone's health, but it is especially harmful for older adults. Stress can lead to a number of health problems, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and depression.

Older adults can manage stress by ng activities that they enjoy, such as reading, listening to music, or spending time with loved ones. They can also try relaxation techniques, such as yoga, meditation, or deep breathing.

Seek Professional Help

If you are an older adult and you are struggling with your mental or physical health, it is important to seek professional help. There are many resources available to help older adults during this difficult time.

You can find more information about resources for older adults on the website of the National Council on Aging: https://www.ncoa.org
