Physical Well-Being
LifeStream aims to enhance the well-being of all seniors and therefore offers services for the healthy and active senior. Nutrition, diet, weight control and exercise are very important to maximize energy, increase productivity and maintain health. Nutritional supplements, vitamins and herbal remedies may prove helpful in improving memory, increasing energy, regulating bowel function and even reducing the risk of disease.
It is important that exercise be fine tuned to the needs and limitations of the elderly. Proper exercise increases strength, endurance, balance and range of motion. Being fit decreases the risk of falling and subsequent injury as well as reducing the risk of illness such as stroke or heart attack. Yoga can be useful in maintaining flexibility and increasing relaxation.
LifeStream can provide seniors with information and referral to geriatric vitality specialists, nutritionists, personal trainers and exercise programs.
