Hearty greetings to you all.
Ageing is one of the stages of life, something we must all pass through in life whether we like it or not. It is a natural process ,and it is essential to approach it with a positive attitude, resilience, and a willness to adapt . Dealing with ageing requires a holistic approach that addresses physical, emotional, and social aspects.
This is the period that I advice my elders to engage in moderate exercises , such as walking, and swimming, ao as to maintainh strength and flexibility.
Secondly, I advice rhem to focus on whole nutrient-rich foods from the five variety of food groups. Eat plenty of vegetables, whole grains, high fibre varieties lean proteins and other alternatives. They should also stay hydrated by drinking enough water throughout the day. Having enough sleep and relaxing , practicing stress - reducing techniques like meditation or deep breathing also helps.
Thirdly, I advice elders to always stay connected by keeping relationships with family and friends to combat loneliness and isolation. They should focus on the present moment and let go of worries about the past or future. Ensuring that they have a reliable health-care system and access to necessary medical services.
Considering therapy or counseling to address age- related concerns or emotions and engaging in activities that challenge your mind such as reading or learning of new skills.
Also make your living space safe and accessible by installing handrails, non- slip flooring and good lighting .
Elders should always emphasize on their strength, accomplishment , and the things they are grateful for . Treating yourself with kindness, understanding and patience .
Resently, I came across an aged man who never welcomes visitors in his house just because of the life he lived while he was growing old. He had a school in which he dated one of his female teachers, who was old enough to be his daughter.
He started dating her and it became known even to the school pupils. It started affecting the pupils in such a way that that the parents of the pupils started withdrawing their children from the school and also he has a wife and grown up children in another stat yet he was having an affair with his friends daughter too.
When the father of the woman in question asked his daughter to quit the relationship because it was affecting the marriage of the elderly man, the man refused and upon her insistence, he stabbed the lady in her breast That was when she finally broke up with him.
This elderly man didn't just stop at that he went ahead to date her younger sister . She collected his money on a very good day and broke his head after extracting money from him. He became ashamed of himself and only goes out at night to get what he wants or drive out in a tinted car.
So it is necessary to live a good life and to let go of offences so that it wont affect then when they are passing on to the otherside of life (death).
I also observed that when someone is ageing he or she forgets things easily and behaves like a little child. Anyyways ageing is a good gift we all pray for.
Thanks you all for reading to the end. This is my response to the #januaryinleo prompt for day 25.
