As we get older, our health needs change. Geriatric health is all about supporting your unique needs so that you can live an active, independent, and fulfilling life.
With a primary care doctor at Anna Health Family Medicine, you’ll get the specialized care you need to feel your best during your golden years.
Common Health Concerns for Seniors
Aging increases the risk of certain conditions. While it’s common to experience more aches and pains, some changes require a closer look.
Common conditions diagnosed in older adults include:
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Type 2 diabetes
- Arthritis
- Osteoporosis
Early detection and proper treatment are crucial for preventing these issues from affecting your daily life.
Healthy Aging Starts With Healthy Daily Habits
Taking simple steps can have a huge effect on your health. Eating a balanced diet, staying physically active, and scheduling regular checkups can go a long way in protecting your wellness.
Nutrition plays a key role. Eat meals that are high in healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Be sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Hydration is just as important. Drink water to support digestion and even cognitive function.
Daily stretching and gentle exercises are key in maintaining balance, strength, and flexibility. They also help with sleep and stress management.
Another key part of senior wellness is cognitive health. Regular mental stimulation, such as reading, puzzles, and learning new skills, can keep your mind sharp.
A Whole-Person Approach Is Key
Senior wellness goes beyond preventing illness. It’s all about living well and making the most of your later years. We offer specialized medical care, programs, and resources to support seniors like you.
Remember, growing older doesn’t mean giving up on your health. It simply means approaching it a little differently.
