Many older adults have been through life changes and health issues that require adaptation and have great resilience and wisdom. These traits will help them get through another difficult time. Psychiatrist, geriatrician, and UCSF professor Andreea Seritan, MD, provides several tips to create a healthy day. Start your day with a few stretches, yoga, or meditation. Mindfulness practice has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, and has a series of beneficial health effects, including improving cognitive functioning in older adults.
Start your day
Maintain a daily routine. Structure is very important. Get up at the same time, get out of bed, get dressed, and face the day.
Eat breakfast. The first meal of the day is important. It is also a chance to sit down and check in with your family, or if you live alone, to take an inventory of your physical and emotional state that day.
