Seniors and Stress

Chronic stress is harmful to people of all ages, but its impact on older adults can be particularly severe, increasing the risk of age-related diseases, hastening cognitive decline, and even triggering falls. Stressors that are common amongst the elderly include loss of control, personal loss, declining health, financial worries, personal safety, and loss of independence. To reduce stress, get regular exercise, eat balanced meals to ensure the mind and body are properly fueled, and ask for help. Talking with a trusted family member, friend, or healthcare professional, at the very least, releases pent-up stress and may even lead to a solution.

Is Your Retirement Plan Complete?

Are pre-arranged funeral arrangements missing from your retirement plan? Here are three reasons to make pre-arranged plans that fit your personality and values, no matter how your lifestyle changes in the years to come: 1. Life insurance does not cover the cost of funerals. Planning helps pay for the full cost before your death. 2. Funeral planning is part of your legacy for your children. With planning, you have peace of mind knowing that your children are protected from certain monetary pressures. 3. Inflation affects lifestyle and funeral plans. We are here to help. Visit our website today and book a spot in one of our free preplanning seminars.

Feeling Stressed Out?

Stress is the body’s natural reaction to new, unpredictable, or threatening situations. However, constant stress can cause health problems. There are things you can do to reduce stress, such as adopting a healthy lifestyle, learning how to handle conflict and difficult situations, setting realistic goals, taking time for yourself, and practicing relaxation techniques. When these measures aren’t enough, your doctor may recommend medication. Our Integrative pharmacists can help you find the right supplements to get your body and mind back on track.
