Can you come out and play?

 I was asked the other day if playing is a good idea for a hobby. I said yes, playing can be a happy hobby and a happy habit! Engaging in play can provide a number of benefits, such as reducing stress, increasing creativity and imagination, improving social skills, and promoting overall well-being. Play can take many forms, including physical play, creative play, and social play.

It's important to make time for play in our daily lives, whether it's through games, sports, art, or other activities that bring us joy and allow us to unwind. Incorporating play into our routines can help us maintain a positive outlook and a healthy balance in our lives.

There is no specific recommended amount of time that seniors should allocate for play each week, as it can vary depending on individual preferences and schedules. However, it is generally recommended that seniors engage in some form of leisure activity or hobby on a regular basis to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.

Experts suggest that adults aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week, in addition to muscle-strengthening activities at least two days a week. This can include activities that are considered "play" such as team sports, dancing, hiking, or any other physical activity that brings joy and allows for social interaction.

In addition to physical activity, seniors may also benefit from engaging in creative hobbies, such as painting, writing, or playing music, to promote relaxation and boost mood. The key is to find activities that are enjoyable and bring a sense of fulfillment, and to make time for them regularly in your schedule  However, convincing seniors that play is important may require a bit of persuasion and education. Here are some strategies that may be helpful:

Seniors may not be aware of the many benefits that play can provide, including reducing stress, improving cognitive function, and promoting overall well-being. Share research and personal stories that illustrate how play can enhance their lives.

Many seniors may be more likely to engage in play if it involves socializing with friends or family members. Encourage them to join a local sports team, take up a hobby with a group, or participate in activities at a community center

Seniors who have not engaged in play for a long time may be hesitant to jump in with both feet. Encourage them to start small, perhaps by trying a new game or activity with a friend or family member, and gradually building up to more regular participation.

Seniors may be more likely to take up play if they see others their age enjoying it. Set an example by engaging in play yourself and sharing your experiences with them.

Some seniors may have concerns about safety or physical limitations that may prevent them from engaging in certain activities. Address these concerns and work with them to find activities that are safe and accessible.

Ultimately, the goal is to help seniors see that play is an important part of maintaining a happy and healthy lifestyle and to provide them with the support and encouragement they need to engage in it.

8 glasses of water a day, is it too much or not enough?

 The recommendation to drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day is a common belief, but the actual amount of water needed varies from person to person depending on factors such as body size, climate, activity level, and metabolic rate. The current recommendations for total water intake are 13 cups per day for men and nine cups per day for women, which includes water from other beverages and food. 

Staying hydrated is important for maintaining cognitive and cardiovascular function and preventing chronic diseases. Adults who are not sufficiently hydrated may age faster, face a higher risk of chronic diseases, and be more likely to die younger. 

However, research shows that many older adults are chronically underhydrated, which can negatively impact their health. The sensation of thirst tends to decline with age, and certain medications and health concerns may also negatively affect water balance. 

Overall, eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day is a good starting point, but individuals should pay attention to their body's needs and adjust their water intake accordingly.

A new study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggests that adults who aren’t sufficiently hydrated may age faster, face a higher risk of chronic diseases — such as lung disease, diabetes, heart failure and stroke — and be more likely to die younger than those who stay well-hydrated.

The results are based on 30 years’ worth of data collected from more than 11,000 adults in the U.S. who were 45 to 66 years old when the study began. The researchers looked at levels of sodium in the participants’ blood to determine hydration (higher concentrations are a sign that they most likely weren’t consuming enough fluids) and found that those with blood-sodium levels at the higher end of the normal range had aged faster than those at the lower end of the range, 

Exacerbating the problem: Research shows we tend to drink less as we age. One study published in 2019 in the journal SAGE Open Nursing suggests that up to 40 percent of older adults may be chronically underhydrated. The obvious culprits: Certain medications, such as diuretics, may negatively affect water balance, plus some older adults may intentionally reduce their water intake because of incontinence or other concerns about bladder control. What’s more, the sensation of thirst tends to decline with age.

When you’re younger, you get thirsty and you get something to drink, but older people in the same situation don’t feel thirsty,
