Health is an important issue for senior citizens above 60

A person gets a new lease of life once he reaches the age of 60. By then, the individual has gained enough experience to know what is right and what is not. He has to manage not only his health but his wealth as well. Some of the following factors decide how he would pass his twilight years. He has to be choosy about his food habits and avoid anything that might look attractive but could have ill effects on the body. Diabetes is common among this group of people and they should not succumb to the temptation of items loaded with the sweet stuff. Another common complaint is about blood pressure and the heart disease. By the time he has crossed the threshold of 60, he must have passed through periods of breathlessness, inability to have sound sleep, perspiration etcetera. These indicate trouble if ignored. Nowadays, home kits are available to check blood pressure and blood sugar levels in the comfort of your home.

In India, hospitals offer attractive health packages. However, the best policy is to take care of your health by yourself. The human body is, after all, a machine that runs 24X7 and has to be given due care. In order to ensure the longest possible service, it needs to be pampered. All around us we see men in their 80s who go for morning walks, who use the stairs instead of the elevators. They want to exercise their bones and muscles in order to keep the mechanisms in working condition.
