We burn fewer calories as we age, become less mobile, and our habits alter. Excellent nutrition and physical activity are associated with perfect health, thus the elderly must maintain an active, healthy lifestyle for as long as possible. Those additional pounds might creep up on you gradually until you realize you have a weight problem! Excess weight does not have to be unavoidable as we get older! Bella Vista Village II LLC gives some strategies for beating the bulge!

Avoid the temptation to stock up on unhealthy snacks and junk food. Follow your grocery list and avoid going shopping while you’re hungry. Don’t deprive yourself of goodies, but maintain a healthy balance.

Vegetables should make up half of your meal. The remaining half should be divided evenly between protein and grains. Drink lots of water and consume fiber-rich foods. In our residential care facility in Sonoma, California, we help clients get the nourishment they need to be healthy and active while still eating delectable foods and their favorites.

Many elderly people believe they cannot or shouldn’t risk exercising, however, exercise has been shown to reduce the risk of illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension.

A 10-minute stroll will burn 100 calories and appear manageable. Water workouts are easy on the joints and ideal for people with poor balance. Exercise regularly will assist in enhancing your balance and agility. We will assist you in finding a physical activity that you will love and that meets your needs here at our nursing home.

Obesity prevention is an aim for everyone, regardless of age. With the help of our assisted living care in California, you may achieve that healthy age even in your golden years.

We also provide hospice care in California. Please contact us right away!
