Senior Health Care Solutions
There are more and more seniors retiring every year. In fact, we are going to be in the majority over the next decade. Our health care organizations are already reeling over the increased requirements from seniors and changes to health care needs. The bottom line for senior health care solutions is that we can hope for help from government health care or we can increase the odds of having a healthy life by taking care of our selves to decrease the potential need for hospital care. After all who wants to wait in a clinic or hospital for hours at a time or have to deal with increasing levels of disability. We may not be able to eliminate these issues, but we can surely improve our lifestyles by taking care of ourselves. The following are a few ideas about what you can do regardless of your age or general health.
Senior Health Care Solutions – What You can Do
The following is a general list of potential solutions for people of all ages with a particular focus on seniors. Obviously each of these suggestions should be tailored to your age and ability. We will expand on these ideas a bit later.
- Tailored Exercise programs
- Stay active even in old age
- Manage your diet, add vitamins as needed
- Maintain proper weight for your body
- Active social life with friends and groups
- Keep up with friends
- Ask for help when needed from family and professional groups
- Stimulate the brain as well as the body
Tailored Exercise Program – age, ability, and general health will dictate what you can do and how aggressively you follow your exercise regime. The point is to get out there and run, walk, stroll, play sports, take up golf or whatever you enjoy, just get moving for at least 15 minutes every day. You need to get your heart rate up and increase your breathing rate to get any real benefit.
Use the above ideas on exercise as an example to apply to the other ideas we have included in this post. for more posts about baby boomer health care, click here.

With my gluten intcrelanoe, I feel the same way, although I rarely travel any place that takes so long that I necessarily have to eat. A trip to Europe would be a different story altogether. Generally I buy stuff on the other side of security if I want to take it on the plane with me, like salads or fruit. But even then, you can never be sure what will be offered, or if it is truly free of the offending ingredients. I have never heard of TSA stopping someone from bringing a sandwich on flight. What do they think there is more than 3.4 oz of mayo on the bread?
