Lilac Direct Primary Care

It happens all too frequently that the older members of society become isolated.

Some remain frightened of COVID, RSV, influenza, and rightly so.

Their families might live far away, or are too busy to visit as often as they want. Or their spouse, siblings, friends have passed away.

How can we engage these patients? Some ideas might include:

Physical activity, especially resistance training to increase strength & improve balance to prevent falls.

Volunteer in the community, which can be done remotely or outdoors.

Take up a hobby or join a group online doing similar activities.

Join a walking group of similar age seniors outside or masked and social distancing!

In general, the American population gets way more protein than they need, even those who follow a plant based diet!

It’s fiber that our American diet is deficient in! Fiber is essential for gut health, and it has been proven to lower cholesterol, control blood sugar, achieve a healthy weight, reduce the risk of certain cancers, and maintain strong bones.

Some foods rich in fiber include beans, oats, nuts, berries, whole grains, apples, broccoli, and more!

Check out the website NutritionFacts.org- it has information that is scientifically proven and evidence based including recipes, articles, and videos.
