As the seniors in the family enjoy their golden years, there will be times when they may need a little more tender loving care.

At times, it could be the need to slow down active lifestyles to give their joints more rest, looking out for the heart, or eating well for better digestive health. Other times, it could involve adopting living better to keep diseases such as cancer at bay, or being sensitive to the natural hormonal or physical changes in the body that come with age.

Ageing and Digestive Health

As a person ages, their digestive tract may not work as efficiently as before. The muscles in the digestive tract become weaker, and many functions of the digestive tract will slow down. This makes older people more prone to certain digestive problems such as reflux, stomach pain, constipation, and haemorrhoids.

Preventing Cancer

Majority of the new cases of cancer are diagnosed among adults aged 60 years and above. This makes it very important to discuss cancer prevention with the senior members of the family.

As we focus on living life to the fullest and finding joy and fulfillment with friends and family, do include regular health screenings as part of the family’s lifestyle. The peace of mind that comes with a clean bill of health is priceless, but so is the assurance that any problems can be detected early for a better treatment outcome. This is why regular mammograms for breast lumps and colonoscopies for polyps can help reduce the impact of diseases like cancer.
