Health Care Reform Project Part II
Solutions on Medical Care for the Aging Population
Solution #1- Healthy Aging
According to Saisan, M.S.W. (2012), “Healthy aging is about much more than staying physically healthy–it's about maintaining your sense of purpose and your zest for life.” Eating healthy and exercising is a major part in one’s life, as well as dealing with life experiences that comes along with changes. Healthy aging can also mean knowing how to deal with the loss of a family member, as well as any day to day stresses.
Finding ways to cope with challenges lowers stresses. Focusing on the things that we enjoy doing, acknowledging and expressing our feelings, accepting things for what they are, because we cannot change them. In order for us to age healthy we can get involved with our grandchildren, learn something new, volunteer at something that we enjoy doing. Staying connected is a good way to aging healthy. Today, we can use the internet (Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn) to stay connected with old friends, family members, or support groups. It is as easy as using our finger tips. Communicate daily with your friends, family members that we enjoy and make us feel happy. Go to lunch with an old co-worker or shopping with your oldest best friend.
Keeping our mind sharp is vital when aging. Staying active by doing puzzles, playing games on your phone or on your television can keep your mind sharp. Taking different routes to the gym can keep our minds sharp. Another example of keeping our minds sharp is to tackle new projects. Some people enjoy the outdoors, learn to golf, take swimming lessons or just take a new hiking trail. Others enjoy staying indoors and cooking, try new recipes, invite people over for a snack and a movie. Conversing with groups of people keeps your mind happy and relaxed, and it makes people feel young and alive.
