As the weather warms up and the flowers start to bloom, it’s important for seniors in senior living to take extra precautions when it comes to their health. Here are five senior spring health tips to keep in mind:

Spring Senior Health Tips

1. Stay Hydrated

As temperatures rise, it’s important to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Aim for at least eight glasses of water per day, and avoid sugary drinks and alcohol.

2. Get Moving

Spring is the perfect time to enjoy the great outdoors and get some exercise. Take a walk around the neighborhood, go for a bike ride, or try some gentle yoga or stretching.

3. Protect Your Skin

 The sun’s UV rays can cause damage to your skin, so it’s important to wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 whenever you’re outside. Don’t forget to wear a hat and sunglasses to protect your face and eyes, too.

4. Eat Fresh

Spring is the season for fresh produce, so take advantage of it! Load up on fruits and vegetables, and try to incorporate them into every meal. Not only will they help you stay healthy, but they’ll also add some color and variety to your diet.

5. Stay Connected

Spring is a great time to socialize and reconnect with friends and family. Whether it’s a picnic in the park or a game night at home, make time for the people who make you happy.
