Heart Healthy Tips/ A-1 Home Care Sierra Madre

 

February is the month of romance, Valentines Day, and the introduction of spring. But it is also a month for Heart Health Awareness. Health is very important to us at A-1 Home Care, so we will be focusing on this today.

 

For heart healthy seniors, lots of attention should be paid to eating habits. Heart disease and heart attacks are results of unhealthy lifestyles. We encourage seniors to ask their caregivers to provide clean meals that follow the guidelines below.

 

You should eat mainly:

• Fruits and vegetables
• Grains like whole-grain barley, buckwheat, bulgur, millet, quinoa, and sorghum
• Fat-free or low-fat versions of milk, cheese, yogurt, and other milk products
• Fish, skinless poultry, lean meats, dry beans, eggs, and nuts

 

Also, you should limit the amount of foods you eat that contain:

• Saturated fat
• Trans fat
• Cholesterol
• Sodium
• Added sugars

A-1 Home Care provides services in Sierra Madre, Pasadena, Altadena, La Crescenta, Alhambra, Rosemead, Arcadia, El Monte and Monterey Park.

Senior Respite Care in Sierra Madre

 It's painful to see a senior you love experience a chronic illness. Diseases like cancer or alzheimer are slow to develop and highly emotional. When you're a family caregiver who is with your ill parents or spouse day in and day out, you tend to internalize the struggle of your senior loved one which can develop into caregiver stress or burnout. A-1 Home Care highly recommends hiring a Sierra Madre Senior Caregiver to provide respite care.

A-1 Home Care hires and screens experienced, good natured Senior Caregivers who are skilled with caring for elderly people with chronic or terminal illnesses. Our caregivers emphasize a positive attitude and environment to keep an aura of healthy cleanliness. We can take care of chores like cooking, laundry, bed making, bathroom assistance and more.

A-1 Home Care is an A+ rated nonmedical home health agency with over 20 years of experience in caregiving. We provide respite care assistance for seniors in Sierra Madre, Pasadena, Altadena, La Crescenta, Alhambra, Rosemead, Arcadia, El Monte and Monterey Park.
