Embrace the Outdoors This Season With Your Loved One!

Are you having a hard time getting your loved one to see the benefits of being outside, especially during the sunny days of summer? Due to a lack of mobility and a fear of falling, going outside worries some older adults.

However, it doesnt have to be that way. Our in-home care providers at Qualicare Toronto South have some tips on how to motivate your loved ones to get outdoors this summer.

The Benefits of Being Outdoors Are Endless

Are you looking to help your loved one improve his or her quality of life? Then, look no further than the Great Outdoors for answers.

Why? Because of all the advantages being outside can bring to your health, such as:

• Boosting mood
• Building a stronger immune system
• Decreasing risk of heart disease
• Helping achieve a good nights sleep
• Improving mental health
• Lowering stress
• Maintaining healthy bones
• Rejuvenating your memory
• Promoting physical health

Spending time outdoors can also help slow the aging process and what it can bring, including dementia, heart disease, bone loss and cancer. Therefore, with all the benefits in store for those who spend a good amount of time outside soaking in the vitamin D, what can you do to help motivate your loved one to spend more time outdoors?

Outdoor Activities for All

Being outside doesnt have to mean going for a run around the neighborhood. Although that would be a wonderful way to get in a cardio workout.

There are plenty of other ways you can spend time outside. You can take a walk through Toronto, visiting local shops and checking in the scenery.

Or you can even pack up some lunch and spend some quality time with your loved one in Eglinton Park.

Choosing Qualicare Toronto South can make all the difference when it comes to your loved one receiving the exceptional care he or she deserves. Give our in-home care providers a call today to learn more about the services we offer.
