2. Create family time for yourself. Spending time with your immediate family, those who love and care about you truly helps you to live a longer, more satisfied life.
3. Watch your weight and avoid obesity and cholesterol build up. Keeping your weight under control can help you live longer, and healthier, by helping you avoid the conditions that play havoc with your body. Keeping your weight down will lower your risk of diabetes, which in turn, can lead to high blood pressure, blindness, the loss of limbs, kidney failure and ultimately, death.
4. Get a pet dog to liven up your immediate environment. Pets help you to relax and help you to get outside of yourself. Owning a pet helps older persons living alone to keep focused, feel needed and gives them a sense of purpose.
5. Have you considered exercising? Regular effective exercise, at least 30 minutes a day as has been suggested, helps improve your mood by releasing the necessary “feel good” chemicals, endorphins. Exercise your mind also with adventure games and puzzles to keep your brain active.
