Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Healthy Full fats such as nuts,yogurt,avocados are healthy ,low fat foods are full of sugar and not healthy .Lean organic meats two to three times a week are healthy. I would consider checking with other sources.
Every time articles such as this spout 40 minutes a day they get thousands (millions?) of people tuning out. Yes, 40 minutes doesn't seem a lot to those people already active, but to the couch potatoes or those working behind a desk or those with chronic pain or those just struggling to juggle daily commitments the number seems laughably insurmountable. It doesn't matter that there is a link that explains "moderate exercise" doesn't mean running on a treadmill, you've already lost your audience.
It's the usual out-dated propaganda that has destroyed the health of so many people. The most important health food is organic saturated fat, for heart, brain, joints, etc. Low-fat is a con where it's then sold back to nutrition-starved people in other forms.
Why are these lies still being promoted?
Organic red meat is excellent food. High carb grains and too much fruit are not. Fish would be nice, but it's heavily contaminated.
Please learn the truth about what is good to eat and stop recycling the myths that are killing and maiming so many people.
Intensive workouts also can be harmful. Ask all those people with knee and hip replacements how much the used to jog and do other stressful exercise. Not overdoing is as important as is regular non-stressful exercise like walking in nature.
A low-fat diet starves the brain! We need plenty of quality fats in our diet. Quality fats come from the grass-fed animals (including butter), organic coconut oil, extra virgin cold-pressed olive oil, raw nuts and seeds. Avoid fats that come out of a laboratory, such as trans fats.
Good point about adequate sleep, and I would add to that list #7: Drink plenty of pure water.
Mostly good advice in this article, but I have to contest the red meat and dairy myth! The problem with the meat in this country---aside from the antibiotics and hormones the poor animals are dosed with---is the grain and corn diet. That's what makes beef and dairy unhealthy, and to make things worse the feed is genetically modified.
The hysteria over butter, cheese and marbled beef has caused many people to turn from eating the healthy, necessary fats to using junk like margarine (hydrogenated vegetable oil), canola oil, corn oil and that fake whipped "creme" crap. Children, who need the fats the most, are being raised on low-fat or non-fat milk. Hasn't helped the obesity epidemic, has it? In fact, obesity in children as well as adults has skyrocketed since the craze for fat-free took off back in the 80s. Your body needs fat (and vitamin D) to process calcium, something to think about when dealing with osteoporosis and fragile bones.
Eat GRASS-FED beef in moderation and dairy from PASTURED cows and you'll enjoy better health. Not only will you be helping to protect your brain from the ravages of dementia, but you'll also have the satisfaction of knowing that the animals are not being subjected to the living hell that is "factory farming." I took my mom off the hardened vegetable oil spread she was in the habit of using ever since the medical pundits (aka "doctors") told her that butter was bad, and started buying Kerry Gold Irish butter in tubs. Too late to help with her dementia at 93, but she loves the stuff. I do too!
This sixth step is too often ignored... 6. ADEQUATE SLEEP -- Research shows that sleep deficiency significantly increases the risk of many health conditions, including stroke. The CDC has even called sleep deficiency "a public health epidemic," because a third of working adults sleep less than 6 hours a night when 7-9 hours are recommended.
