Boosting Immunity with Senior Care in the Fresno, CA Area

In the battle against illness, such as our current struggles with COVID-19, our immune system ensures that our body is equipped with the tools it needs to fight it off. For the elderly, this system is incredibly important. The CDC says that the elderly and those with serious underlying medical conditions are at a higher risk for developing serious complications from COVID-19. Today, the professionals at Visiting Angels of Fresno are here to help provide immunity-boosting tips to the Fresno community.

Healthy Routines Boosts Immunity

Boosting your immunity can be as simple as changing your daily routine. Here are a couple of tips to focus on, as recommended by the professionals at Visiting Angels of Fresno:

  • Staying hydrated: Hydration is important for everyone, but especially for seniors. At 80 years old, the amount of water in your body decreases 15% from the time that you're 20 years old. To ensure that your loved one is drinking the amount of water they need, a Fresno caregiver can give them hydration reminders throughout the day.
  • Maintain a healthy diet: A Visiting Angels caregiver can prepare healthy meals for your loved one. To help your loved one practice social distancing, a caregiver can handle grocery runs and ensure essentials don’t run out.
  • Washing your hands: You should wash your hands for at least 20 seconds to remain as clean as possible, according to the CDC. If you sneezed, coughed, or blew your nose, you should wash your hands directly after. Our senior care agency offers personal care services to help with day-to-day tasks such as handwashing, bathing, and toileting.
  • Exercising regularly: Getting daily exercise is a great way to boost your immunity. At Visiting Angels of Fresno, we can connect you with a caregiver that can assist your loved one with performing low-impact exercises.
  • Quit smoking and drinking alcohol: Scientific studies have shown that smoking and drinking can weaken your immune system over time. These behaviors can also lead to serious health issues such as mood disorders, liver damage, and cardiovascular disease.
