Have you ever wondered what daily senior living at a place like eliseo actually looks like? Maybe your mind has conjured up images of group fitness classes, day trips to nearby attractions, and other leisurely activities that seniors like to enjoy. You’re not far off. Most Life Plan Communities offer a robust calendar of programs and activities, along with an array of fun and free amenities available right on-site. There’s a good reason for that.
It’s been shown that seniors who regularly exercise and explore their curiosities to keep their minds sharp enjoy lots of invaluable benefits, including reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and even some cancers. The benefits of exercise and an active lifestyle simply cannot be understated. In fact, they are more important for seniors than for younger adults.
- Improving Mental Health: The risks for depression and isolation increase as people age. The good news is that even a light regimen of regular exercise can reduce those risks, while also maintaining mental acuity and possibly holding off the effects of cognitive impairments like Alzheimer’s and dementia.
- Preventing Injury: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, seniors who spend between 120 and 300 minutes of light-to-moderate aerobic activity on a weekly basis lowered their risk of hip fracture. For older adults, hip fractures can sometimes signal the beginning of a host of other health issues.
- Enjoying Better Sleep: When we exercise more, we sleep better thanks to the fluctuations of body temperature during and after our workouts. For seniors, good sleep is especially important, as it results in a rejuvenated body the next day and a refreshing feeling of boosted energy.
- Promoting Better Bone Health: Getting older makes it more important than ever to maintain strong, healthy bones. Activities and exercises that focus on weight training and muscle development can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and osteopenia.
- Easing Arthritis: There are also low-impact exercises that are specifically designed to help active seniors control their arthritis pain so they can perform physical tasks more easily.
- Enhancing Overall Quality of Life: When you feel better, you feel more confident to stay physically active even as you age.
At eliseo, our amenities are all designed to help you feel as good as you ever have, while also providing a fun opportunity to socialize and experience new pursuits. Other communities simply cannot compare to the vibrant lifestyle or the exuberant residents that you’ll find right here at eliseo.
