When we arrived at Lewisville Estates ten months ago, we were quite apprehensive to begin a whole new way of life in our old age. However, we were warmly greeted by residents and staff alike. We were most pleasantly surprised with our new apartment and quickly settled into our new home. We have been very contented and happy here.
Promoting Men's Health this Father's Day Back
It is almost Father’s Day so let’s talk about dad. Is he a man who can tell any story? Is he a handyman or gearhead? Can he pull any joke out of his sleeve to make you laugh? No matter who your father figure is, Dad’s are important to our life. That is why promoting men’s health is also important, especially for your aging father. Here are some specific tips to improve men’s health:
Manage stress. Take time everyday to complete activities that bring you joy, but don’t overload your tasks. Maintaining a positive mental attitude is also important to managing stress. At Lewisville Estates, things such as meditating, yoga, and brief walks can help clear your mind and balance your mental state. Finally, it is recommended to sleep for 7-9 hours, so get plenty of rest each night to replenish your body with energy.
Get regular check-ups and screenings. Men have unique healthcare needs. Regular check-ups and health screenings not only protect your health, they also help your doctor understand your overall health. At Lewisville Estates, our on-site nursing staff helps with needs such as blood pressure monitoring and scheduling for doctor visits. As you age, keeping an eye on your health is important to maintaining an able lifestyle.
Stay active. Movement and exercise are crucial to improving your health. Developing personalized fitness plans and goals gets your blood pumping, activates your muscles, and stimulates your mind. The fitness and wellness center at Lewisville Estates has everything you need to fulfill your fitness journey.
To all the extraordinary Dads, we thank you for showing up and inspiring us all throughout life. We encourage you to keep your health at par so you never have to miss out on this amazing life in Lewisville, Texas. Happy Father’s Day. You are truly a superhero.
