In other words: the basis of health, even for the elderly, is to improve their lifestyle habits - learn how here, easily, directly and effectively:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-my-plugin-my-custom-block\">\r\n    <div class=\"custom-block-card\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/icaro.med.br\/en\/15habits\/\" class=\"custom-block-image-link\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/icaro.med.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/post20039-1024x576.png\" class=\"custom-block-image\" alt=\"15 habits for a BETTER, HEALTHIER, MORE PRODUCTIVE LIFE with more chances of SUCCESS and HAPPINESS\" \/>\r\n        <\/a>\r\n        <div class=\"custom-block-content\">\r\n            <span class=\"custom-block-title\">15 habits for a BETTER, HEALTHIER, MORE PRODUCTIVE LIFE with more chances of SUCCESS and HAPPINESS<\/span>\r\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/icaro.med.br\/en\/15habits\/\" class=\"custom-block-button\">LEARN MORE<\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n    \n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advanced Tips<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Individuality matters<\/strong><br>Each elderly person has specific needs. Care must be personalized, respecting their unique characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Love and affection are essential<\/strong><br>The elderly need more than physical and financial care; they need sensitive attention, love and emotional connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Competent medical supervision<\/strong><br>Experienced doctors who are attentive to the particularities of ageing are essential. Small disorders should not be ignored, as they can develop rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Encourage independence<\/strong><br>As far as possible, encourage the elderly person to perform important tasks to maintain a sense of usefulness and social inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Take care of your appearance and personal interests<\/strong><br>Encourage them to take care of themselves, their appearance and to get involved in activities that bring them satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Nutritional monitoring<\/strong><br>A nutritionist can balance the diet and prevent problems arising from poor nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Sleep regulation<\/strong><br>Avoid excessive naps during the day, as they are detrimental to nighttime sleep, which is more restorative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Re-evaluation of medicines and supplements<\/strong><br>Medicines should be periodically reviewed to avoid interactions, side effects and unnecessary use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption<\/strong><br>If it's not possible to stop, drastically reducing it will bring great benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Psychological support<\/strong><br>It may be necessary to deal with feelings such as disinterest in life or fear of approaching death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in my opinion, unfortunately, these and other important precautions are not routinely observed or followed. When it comes to \u201chow to treat the elderly\u201d, what I see most often in medicine is something like this, from most of the colleagues I've talked to: \u201cThe older you get, the less it's worth investing in... The main idea is to avoid too many tests, too many procedures, too many treatments and let them live the rest of their lives to the fullest, as they wish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curiously, however, when doctors with this mentality witness the loss of functionality (memory, interaction, independence, etc.) of loved ones, they come to the office asking for \u201cinvestment\u201d: of attention, of time, of energy, of \u201cmore complete\u201d exams, of treatments... Even if none of this is \u201cin line with official consensus\u201d. After all, it seems that \u201cpepper on other people's lips is refreshment\u201d and, when \u201cthe shoe pinches\u201d on us, even protocol seems to change, it's left aside, it's no longer as important, appropriate or even \u201cconsidered Christian\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, I'll reiterate the obvious: not all doctors are like this, but I'll make it clear that most of the more \u201cconventional\u201d ones I know, unfortunately, think and act in the way described above, in practice. Something I disagree with: the idea that \u201cit's not worthwhile or recommended to invest a lot in changes in the life of an elderly person who doesn't have many illnesses or who has them under control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That's why I recorded these videos, to try to shed more light on the subject and what to do to \u201cCare for the Elderly with a Real Focus on Health\u201d.
