Our health requirements change in our later years. Some facets of our health that didn’t require much attention in the past can be brought to the surface. However, there are plenty of proactive ways to support longevity and wellbeing as we get older.
Stay connected for wellbeing
Connecting with others can be a source of peace and fulfilment for many, and it has been shown have positive effects for our brain health - here are some ideas:
- Get creative and keep your brain engaged, learn a new craft, take up crosswords or brain games.
- Dancing challenges the brain, is great for fitness and gives opportunities to socialise.
- Join local clubs with other likeminded people for new social interactions.
- Volunteer at a local charity to help with a mailout or with making calls to supporters.
- Connect regularly with friends and family in person or online.

Nutrition and hydration for elderly health
A diet with enough protein is key for maintaining our muscles. Aim for around 1 gram of protein per kg of body weight daily. Healthy muscle tone is important for bone and joint health and helps us keep active, it’s also great for healthy weight management. Make sure you include protein at each meal, from meat, poultry, and fish, or protein from eggs, nuts, legumes, beans, and tofu.
A common concern for seniors is bowel function, getting plenty of fibre from veggies, fruit, and wholegrains can support healthy and regular bowel motions. Stay hydrated throughout the day with herbal teas and water is key for general vitality, joint health and healthy bowel function too.
