People of all age groups are crucial in society, and we can never undermine or overlook the importance of older people and senior citizens. International Day for Older Persons is observed by the UN on 1st October every year to draw attention to and challenge negative stereotypes and misconceptions about older persons and aging, and to enable older persons to realize their potential. This year the theme of this day is The Resilience and Contributions of Older Women. The 2022 theme of International Day of Older Persons (UNIDOP) serves as a hallmark and reminder of the significant role older women play in traversing global challenges and contributing to their solutions with resilience and fortitude.

We've created a list of activities you can do to give this day more importance so that older people can enjoy a vibrant life.

  1. Go out

As we age, we tend to lessen our activities. We stop going out, stay in rooms, and do our thing. Celebrate this day by going out and getting some sunshine. Go for a walk in the park, go to the beach or a nearby cafe, and do what you like doing. Laugh a lot more and forget about your age for a while.

  1. Pledge to eat healthily

Eating a variety of foods from all food groups can help supply the nutrients a person needs as they age. A healthy eating plan emphasizes fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat or fat-free dairy; includes lean meat, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts; and is low in saturated fats, trans-fats, salt (sodium), and added sugars.

  1. Add supplements to your regime

Older people have special nutritional requirements that may or may not always be adequate in their diet. Adults older than 70 need more calcium and vitamin D to help maintain bone health than they did in their younger years. Consuming adequate potassium while limiting sodium (salt) intake may lower your risk of high blood pressure. Along with these, they need an adequate amount of vitamins. 

Supplementation helps you add these nutrients to your body that might not be present adequately in your diet. 

Rawleigh presents to you a range of supplements that are dedicated to your nutritional needs. From bone health to brain health, we have vitamins and supplements available for every category.
