How Seniors Can Enjoy Summer Without Health Risks?

Create Perfect Living Conditions
Always remember,  in summer, the temperature often goes up suddenly. It causes problems for everyone, especially seniors.  Due to aging, they are more vulnerable to heat stroke, exhaustion, and unexpected falls. Heat can intensify their problem to a great extent. 

Therefore, ensure a cool, clean, spacious, and well-maintained living area for older people. It will increase their daily comfort and sleep quality and let them have good health. Star Capital offers perfect living conditions for all seniors. As a result, they enjoy a high-quality life even if there is hot weather outside. 

Drink Sufficient Water 
Remember, during summer,  dehydration is one of the main challenges for seniors. Their body’s thirst mechanism weakens with aging. As a result,  they don’t feel thirsty when dehydration strikes. It can lead to serious health issues among seniors, such as tiredness, dizziness, complications in the kidneys, etc. So, they must drink 8-12 glasses of water every day.  Also, eating water-rich foods (such as oranges, cucumbers, etc) boosts hydration naturally.  Start Capital reminds seniors about their water intake every hour during summer and ensures they are hydrated very well. 

Maintain a Nutritious Summer Diet
You must always keep in mind that a balanced diet supports seniors’ health and allows them to deal with summer challenges. It boosts their energy. At Star Capital, we regularly check the food intake of all seniors and recommend light, small, and frequent meals. It ensures they get sufficient nutrients and remain physically fit. Our supervision also keeps them away from overeating and foodborne illnesses. 

Dress Comfortably For The Weather 
In summer, senior citizens must wear comfortable clothes in light colors. Remember, light colors reflect heat, which will help them feel relaxed. So, they must choose loose-fitting clothing made with cotton. It will allow air to circulate, enabling their bodies to adjust their temperature as required. 

Stay Active Safely
Remember, physical activity is important for seniors. It helps maintain their mobility, mental health, and strength. But in summer, they need to be extra careful. Star Capital engages them in low-impact exercises in cooler environments. 

Participation in group activities allows them to socialize and keep themselves physically active. Our staff keep a close eye on their activities and health conditions during exercise sessions and recommend them to stop immediately or take frequent breaks to avoid being fatigued or overheated.
