Health Care MinistryPsalms 92:14-15 (NKJV)
"They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him". September Healthcare Topic - Senior Health
Many health topics are relevant to senior citizens, including diseases, wellness, and age-related changes: Diseases: Common diseases that affect seniors include cancer, arthritis, heart disease, Alzheimer's, and more. Cancer can develop in any organ, but many types are treatable and curable if caught early. Arthritis is inflammation of the joints, where two bones meet, such as the elbow or knee. Wellness: Some elements of senior wellness include: Diet: A proper diet is the foundation of good health. Sleep: Aging can cause changes in sleep. Physical activity: Staying active can help prevent some health concerns. Socialization: Having friends and family can help seniors pursue wellness. Purpose: Having a sense of purpose can be important for senior wellness. Safety: Seniors can take steps to ensure their safety. Age-Related Changes As people age, they may experience several conditions at the same time, such as hearing loss, cataracts, back and neck pain, and more. Other age-related changes include changes in bones, muscles, joints, the digestive system, and more. Older adults are at higher risk for chronic health problems like diabetes, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's disease. In addition, 1 in 3 older adults fall each year, and falls are a leading cause of injury for this age group. Physical activity can help older adults prevent both chronic disease and fall-related injuries.

Most Americans eat too much sodium. Your body needs a small amount of sodium to work properly, but too much sodium can be bad for your health. Diets higher in sodium are associated with an increased risk of developing high blood pressure, which is a major cause of stroke and heart disease. LOOK AT THE LABEL Use the Nutrition Facts label as your tool to make informed decisions! • The Daily Value for sodium is less than 2,300 milligrams (mg) per day. • The number of servings you eat or drink to determine how much sodium you are consuming. Food Choices Matter! According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 40% of the sodium consumed by Americans comes from the following foods: • Deli meat sandwiches, Pizza, Burritos. Tacos, Soups,Chips • Poultry, Pasta,Burgers, Egg dishes, omelets Surprisingly, some foods that don’t taste salty can still be high in sodium, which is why using taste alone is not an accurate way to judge a food’s sodium content. For example, while some foods that are high in sodium (like pickles and soy sauce) taste salty, there are also many foods (like cereals and pastries) that contain sodium but don’t taste salty. Sodium and Blood Pressure Sodium attracts water, and a high-sodium diet draws water into the bloodstream, which can increase the volume of blood and subsequently your blood pressure. High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) is a condition in which blood pressure remains elevated over time. Hypertension makes the heart work too hard, and the high force of the blood flow can harm arteries and organs (such as the heart, kidneys, brain, and eyes). Uncontrolled high blood pressure can raise the risk of heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney disease, and blindness. In addition, blood pressure generally rises as you get older, so limiting your sodium intake becomes even more important each year. Americans eat on average about 3,400 mg of sodium per day. However, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends adults limit sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg per day—that’s equal to about 1 teaspoon of table salt! For children under age 14, recommended limits are even lower! TIPS TO LOWER SODIUM INTAKE 1. Read the Nutrition Facts label Compare and choose foods to get less than 100% DV (less than 2,300 mg) of sodium each day. 2. Prepare Your Own Food When You Can Limit packaged sauces, mixes, and “instant” products (including flavored rice, instant noodles, and ready-made pasta). 3. Add Flavor Without Adding Sodium Limit the amount of table salt you add to foods when cooking, baking, or at the table. Try no-salt seasoning blends and herbs and spices instead of salt to add flavor to your food. 4. Buy Fresh Choose fresh meat, poultry, and seafood, rather than processed varieties. Also, check the package on fresh meat and poultry to see if salt water or saline has been added. 5. Watch Your Veggies Buy fresh, frozen (no sauce or seasoning), or low sodium or no-salt-added canned vegetables. 6. Give Sodium The “Rinse” Rinse sodium-containing canned foods, such as beans, tuna, and vegetables before eating. This removes some of the sodium. 7. “Unsalt” Your Snacks Choose low sodium or no-salt-added nuts, seeds, and snack products (such as chips and pretzels)—or have carrot or celery sticks instead. 8. Consider Your CondimentsSodium in condiments can add up. Choose light or reduced sodium condiments, add oil and vinegar to salads rather than bottled dressings, and use only a small amount of seasoning from flavoring packets instead of the entire packet. 9. Reduce Your Portion SizeLess food means less sodium. Prepare smaller portions at home and consume less when eating out—choose smaller sizes, split an entrée with a friend, or take home part of your meal. 10. Make Lower-Sodium Choices at Restaurants |
