MIND REFRESHMENTS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS
Hobbies for senior citizens, exercises for senior citizens, caring for senior citizens
All those who reach the age of 65 are considered as Senior Citizens, but
some of them don’t look or feel like 65 since they keep their mind and body
healthy by keeping both occupied. Physical fitness and mind freshness play
important roles in our life. If either of them is not good we become weak
.Keeping both fit is an art.
Mind has to keep fresh by giving work to it everyday. We can either give
them some work like reading books, reciting poems, singing songs, telling
stories, which will keep the mind fresh since it needs to think and act.
Once you retire from work you don’t have a routine work in your life and
so tend to become lethargic so if we don’t keep ourselves occupied we tend
to get forgetfulness and brain related diseases like dementia, and anxiety.
In order to avoid getting these diseases in the old age they have to be
looked after carefully.
Memory is initial symptom of aging. When there is a loss of memory, there
starts both the physical and mental stress. Hence we need to be very shrewd
on the memory of the seniors. Senior Citizens can be kept engaged by playing
games with them. Games like Bingo, Scrabble, Uno will tune their memory
and keep the brain active. If they don’t have anybody to give them company
to play, they can play solo games like solitaire, cross word puzzles, sudoku
etc. Each game has its own value. It is up to us to use it.
Cross word puzzles and Sudoku are brain teasing games. By coming across
many new words our brain gets activated and keeps thinking and try to remember
them.
The Senior citizens can be taken outside and then after coming home asked
to give a list of the things they saw on their way home, by doing this they
think and keep the mind fresh. If they can’t go out, we can ask them to
enter a room and ask them to tell what they saw in the room.
Depending on the interest of the person concerned they can be made to play
what they want and keep their mind refreshed. Even after retirement it is
always better to have a set of pattern to follow each day so that you don’t
have a blank mind getting up from bed. When we are retired and don’t go
to office but fit enough to go out we can visit a library or a mall for
an hour or so, so that we can meet some people there. Mind occupation is
very vital as physical fitness. If a person keeps both mind and body fresh
by doing some activity within his limits he can lead a very happy life.
