  KEEPINGS SENIORS SAFE IN SUMMERS Summers can be an enjoyable weather for seniors where they can let their guards down and indulge in outdoor activities that can be relaxing for them. It is the best weather to enjoy a day at the beach or a picnic at the park with friends. While getting some essential vitamin D from the sun is important, with seniors there are always some risks involved. Keeping in mind their independence and their safety, here are some tips to keep in check before they leave home! Skin Care – Sun is without doubt the best natural source of vitamin D, but exposure to sun can take a toll on their skin. With age, their skin has become thin and delicate and sunburn is a cause of concern. When going outdoors, they should always use a sunscreen having at least 30 SPF or higher to prevent sunburns and heat marks.

Winter Nutrition Tips for Boost Your Health - Curodoc Healthcare

 Winter Nutrition Tips

The winter month brings in a lot of appetite changes and diet changes with it. The shorter days, longer nights, and colder temperatures make it less motivating to work out or exercise. The comforter and bed seems like the best place to be and obviously, comfort foods and treats are the go to meals.

 A nutritious meal is a must in the changing weather and colder months. It helps keep your energized, fit, and boosts your immunity.

 Adding healthy carbs and eating carbohydrate-rich foods increases the brain's production of “the happy chemical” serotonin and make you feel more up and less depressed. These include nuts (raw, fried, or roasted), whole grains, beets, radish, turnips, sweet potatoes, and squash.



 Winter also bring with it a rainbow of fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits like broccoli, oranges, pomegranates, kale, legumes, pulses, beans, strawberries, capsicums, and spinach.

 For the meat eaters, there is a whole lot of options but sticking to a roasted/baked version of chicken, meat, fish, and other seafood is a healthier option.

 Unlike the summers when you sweat a lot and the body demands a lot of water, staying well hydrated in winters can be challenging. Well timed and regular intake of water, fresh citric juices, tea, and coffee can help the body stay hydrated.

 Warm Winter Drinks such as soup, stew, hot chocolate, and turmeric milk can be nutritious, warm, and festive.

 Over-the-counter supplements for vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc can help boost immunity and fulfill the requirement of the body.

 Eating healthy is as important as exercising regularly, sleeping well, and keeping active during the winter months.
