These activities encourage a healthier mind. Meanwhile, they also bring joy and a sense of purpose to everyday life. This is a core component of active aging—it helps older adults preserve cognitive abilities as they age.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL CONNECTIONS IN ACTIVE AGING
Social connection is a vital component of active aging, and it’s more important to overall health than most people think. Regular socialization boosts mental health, reduces stress, and brings support and love to a person’s life. However, despite these benefits, many older adults live in isolation. Roughly 1 in 3 seniors report feelings of loneliness and isolation. This isn’t a small problem—isolation increases the risk of various health issues, which could compromise your loved one’s health. Regularly spending time with others is essential for a healthier lifestyle. Encourage older adults to try joining local groups or clubs. Even just having a coffee or tea with a neighbor can make all the difference in the world. To get started on your active aging journey, contact Stacy, our Symbria Wellbeing Specialist at (708) 645-2082. She will discuss the Wellbeing Program, answer any questions and concerns, and be there to help you reach your goals.
