American Heart Month/ A-1 Home Care Costa Mesa

February is the month of Valentines, heart shaped candies, and American Heart Month. We at A-1 Home Care will honor this awareness month by focusing on heart healthy tips for our loyal readers. 

A lot of heart healthy tactics come from eating, and eating right. Eating clean, plant based meals is a good thing, but eating habits and timing also do a lot to maintain heart health. We've compiled a list of strategies to help:

Avoid skipping meals – This causes your metabolism to slow down, which leads to feeling sluggish and making poorer choices later in the day.

Breakfast – Select high-fiber breads and cereals, colorful fruit, and protein to fill you with energy for the day. 

Lunch – Keep your body fueled for the afternoon with a variety of whole-grain breads, lean protein, and fiber. 

Dinner – End the day on a wholesome note. Try warm salads of roasted veggies and a side of crusty brown bread and cheese, grilled salmon with spicy salsa, or whole-wheat pasta with asparagus and shrimp. 

Snacks – It’s okay, even recommended, to snack. But make sure you make it count by choosing high-fiber snacks to healthfully tide you over to your next meal.

Energy boosting exercise for elders/ A-1 Home Care offers Senior Care

As you grow older, an active lifestyle is more important than ever. Regular exercise can help boost energy, maintain your independence, and manage symptoms of illness or pain. Exercise can even reverse some of the symptoms of aging. And not only is exercise good for your body, it’s also good for your mind, mood, and memory.

Whether you are generally healthy or are managing an illness, there are plenty of ways to get more active, improve confidence, and boost your fitness.

A-1 Home Care encourages seniors to get their exercise by partnering with a family member, or joining a fitness group in the community. It's essential that elderly people stretch and maintain their bodies to promote wellness and good health.

Our agency will be visiting the Downey Care Center to provide arts and crafts activities for the senior patients there. If you or a loved one are receiving treatment there, come by for a session of fun, refreshments, and art!
