Summer Activities
Staying active is an important part of aging healthily. Partaking in healthy activities is great not just for physical health, but mental well-being as well. The social benefits can even prolong life. With summer just around the corner, it is a good idea to have some activities ready to go. Let us take a look at these 5 safe and healthy summer activities for seniors.
Have A Picnic
Getting outside is especially important. Sunlight is an excellent source of Vitamin D, which helps fight a number of issues including anxiety, depression, and osteoporosis. The sunlight and nice weather is a great way to stay active and keep spirits high.
Board Games And Puzzles
Board games are a fun and easy way to socialize, have fun, and keep seniors’ minds active. Additionally, studies show that mental activity may even help dementia.
Crafting
Another one of the 5 safe and healthy summer activities for seniors is crafting. Art therapy can be very beneficial for seniors. Working on a craft gives them a creative outlet to express themselves. In addition, it keeps their motor skills healthy. This is also a great way to socialize.
Visit Sporting Events
This is another fun activity that helps seniors get their Vitamin D from sunlight. Also, it can be a great way to connect with family and friends. Watching sporting events that their grandchildren are playing in can be a great way to stay social and active.
Reading A Book
Reading can also be done outside to enjoy the fresh air and sunlight. Moreover, joining a book club can give seniors some wonderful socializing. Reading also keeps their mind active and has mental health benefits.
