For older adults, a variety of obstacles like vision loss, social isolation, mobility problems, and memory issues can make enjoying life more difficult.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why is it important for seniors to focus on their mental health?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Socially isolated seniors have a 59% greater risk of mental and physical decline than those who do not experience social isolation (Forbes).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The health effects of social isolation and loneliness on seniors is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes per day (AARP.org).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Depression in the elderly is associated with increased risk of cardiac diseases and risk of death from illness (WebMD).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For older adults who want to improve their quality of life through enhanced mental health, there are a few things they can do to kick off their healthy habits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Seniors Can Enhance Mental Health with Healthy Habits:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Exercise<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 Seniors should always consult with a physician before starting any physical activity or fitness program.

Exercise has been proven to have a positive effect on the brain.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Connection<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 At any age, many people find joy in spending time with family and friends. Social isolation can be a problem for seniors who have mobility issues aren\u2019t able to drive, or have loved ones who live far away. However, some services can help overcome these issues, including transportation help, in-home care assistance, technology that fosters connection and other outside sources of help.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Volunteering<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 Sharing time and talents doing volunteer work can bring a sense or purpose and fulfillment.
