6 Healthy Habits for Mature Adults that can Lower their Risk of Acquiring COVID-19
March 26, 2020
If
you are 60 and above, read this. The coronavirus can affect anyone but it’s
older adults, ages 60 and up, who are more at risk of getting seriously sick
from it. Is there a cure for it? None at the moment, but over 80,000 worldwide
have already survived it.
Internist-cardiologist
Willie Ong says that a total of 26.4% of the total cases in the Philippines
comprise patients belonging to the said population. That’s why mature adults
are particularly encouraged to keep calm and follow recommendations from the
experts.
So
Sure Bladder Leakage Pads, a product that’s designed to manage a mature adult’s
leaky bladder, presents these health tips to help you remain level-headed in
this season
of
uncertainty:
1. Practice
social distancing. Do
everything you can to reduce exposure to the virus. Avoid crowds, mass
transit systems, and other non-essential social gatherings. Of course, this
does not mean social isolation. You can still opt for family game nights,
reading a book, cooking a meal, indoor exercises, and group video calls. Since
families have been among the most significant hotspots of transmission, avoid
sharing utensils or any means that may acquire another’s saliva. Younger and
healthier family members should be encouraged to practice distancing from
mature household members as they may be asymptomatic carriers. Separate towels,
bags, ballpens and anything that may carry unwelcome viruses.
2. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. You know where to find them. Avoid
hospitals except in emergency cases. If possible, call ahead before visiting
your doctor. According to St. Luke’s Medical Center’s oncologist Denky Dela
Rosa, MD, senior citizens who have the following conditions are at higher risk:
asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, tuberculosis, or any lung disease, diabetes,
heart and kidney problems especially those undergoing dialysis, cirrhosis,
hepatitis, or any liver problems, an autoimmune system like lupus. Those who
are taking Prednisone, Dexamethasone, Decilone, or Medrol, and those
diagnosed with any cancer at any stage are also most vulnerable and are
strictly advised to self-quarantine.
3. Minimize
news consumption. It’s good to stay informed but
don’t get too obsessed with the news. Research shows that chronic TV watchers
and news followers have increased fear because everything they see starts to
feel like occurring outside their very door. Filter information. Keep
yourselves away not only from the virus but also from negativity and fake news.
Maximize the use of technology by connecting with family and friends to
minimize anxiety. Find time to clear your mind through prayers and meditation.
Do some light exercises and sunlight exposure. Read positive books and
articles. Or go for activities that stimulate your cerebellum, the part of the
brain that coordinates balance, posture, and movement. This part of the brain
works closely with the cerebrum, the thinking center of the brain. When these
two work properly, learning and movements are seamless and easier. You can go
writing, drawing, catching a ball, or sewing.
4. Be
proactive and keep your immune system strong. Get
ample sleep, exercise, and eat well. Plan your meals to include immune system
boosters such as citrus fruits, garlic, broccoli, spinach, turmeric, green tea,
papaya, poultry, and shellfish and zinc sources like beef, oyster, asparagus,
and malunggay. Go for a quick sunlight exposure just at your doorsteps between
8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. for your daily dose of Vitamin D. Load up on water.
And of course, keep in mind your dietary limitations as advised by your
doctor.
5. Practice
good hygiene. Wash your hands often with soap and water
for at least 20 seconds. Should there be a need to go out, quickly take a
shower as the virus can thrive for a few hours on the clothes. Wear a face mask
around people and pets. Refrain from handshaking and touching your face. Cough
or sneeze into a disposable tissue and discard it immediately. Use a tissue or
your elbow to touch switches and elevator buttons. Sanitize phones, doorknobs,
and other items that you usually touch. Members of the household should also
practice the same.
6. Avoid public toilets.
COVID-19 is transmitted through droplets. In some public toilets, we can smell
the stink even before entering. In other toilets, the floors are wet, the
toilet bowls are soiled, and the sinks are dirty. Your risk of exposure here is
elevated.
However,
for some who experience incontinence, you may have to go to the toilet all the
time. Others have overactive bladders and cannot make it to the toilet because
of weak bladder control. Needs vary from one individual to another. Good thing,
So Sure made its pads available to fit comfortably for urine leaks. Whether it’s a light or moderate incontinence
condition, So Sure Bladder Leakage Pad is here to provide comfort and
protection. So Sure 340mm Pads are designed for light flow while So Sure
450mm Pads are made to cater to moderate incontinence.
Talk
