Senior citizens are busy living their best life. The only thing they need to do is take care of their health. Physical and mental. Here's how you can help them achieve both

You can ask them or help them to go for a walk. Walking, even if it’s just for a few minutes, is great for their heart and helps keep their muscles strong

You can ask them to do simple exercises at home, like sitting down and standing up from a chair, lifting light weights, or using resistance bands

Spend time with family and friends. Being social is good for their mental health and can help them feel happier. And do not forget to let them know that they're loved

Ask them to practice deep breathing, meditation, or spend time on hobbies they enjoy. Keeping stress low is important for their heart and overall well-being

Ask them to visit their doctor regularly to check your blood pressure, cholesterol, and overall health. Also remind them to take their medicines on time
