Скачать или смотреть Summer Safety for Seniors: How to Stay Safe and Hydrated

In this week's episode of A3 Aging Ann Arbor, hosts Faye Molitor and Sheila Doeden discuss strategies for keeping elderly individuals safe during the hot summer months. They highlight the increased risk of overheating in seniors due to their reduced ability to regulate body temperature, emphasizing the importance of recognizing early symptoms of heat exhaustion like headaches, nausea, and dizziness. They suggest methods to keep seniors cool, including wearing protective clothing, using hydration packs like keto vitals, and staying hydrated with water-rich foods.

They also recommend indoor activities such as puzzles and crocheting on extremely hot days, stressing the necessity of air conditioning for the elderly. Additionally, they touch on the benefits of limited sun exposure for adequate vitamin D intake and offer practical hydration tips, including the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids.
