Health & Wellness Files


NEW YEAR RESOLUTION


Physical activity improves health and well-being. It reduces stress, strengthens the heart and lungs, increases energy levels, helps you maintain and achieve a healthy body weight and it improves your outlook on life.

Research shows that physical inactivity can cause premature death, chronic disease and disability. Health Canada encourages Canadians to integrate physical activity into their every day life; at home, at school, at work, at play and on the way ... that's active living!

For children, regular physical activity is essential for healthy growth and development. For adults, it allows daily tasks to be accomplished with greater ease and comfort and with less fatigue. For seniors, weight-bearing physical activity reduces the rate of bone loss associated with osteoporosis and regular physical activity maintains strength and flexibility, balance and coordination and can help reduce the risk of falls. Regular physical activity prolongs independent living.

Being physically active not only strengthens your body, it also makes you feel good about yourself.

What Can You Do?

Physical activity is something that everyone can do. You don't need to run a marathon or spend hours at a gym. Look for simple ways to be physically active every day.

You could:

- Take a walk once a day;
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator;
- Spend less time in front of the television or computer;
- Play actively with your kids;
- Walk, wheel or cycle for short trips; or
- Find out about walking and cycling paths nearby and use them.

To help you become more active in your every day life, consult Canada's Physical Activity Guides for children, youth, adults and older adults.

These guides are designed to help you make wise choices about physical activity; choices that will improve your health, help prevent disease and allow you to get the most out of life.






EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING
(TAKING CARE OF AGING PARENTS)


The typical caregiver in North America is a forty-six-year-old female who has some college education, works, and is spending more than twenty hours a week caring for her mother, in addition to providing housekeeping for a spouse or partner and primary care for children or grandchildren. Given her age, the typical caregiver is also likely to be going through the menopause transition.

Many of us struggle to balance raising children or grandchildren, caring for aging or disabled loved ones, maintaining a household, and working full-time or part-time. Although men are more involved with caregiving now than in previous generations, women still do the majority of it. While we reap the benefits, we also shoulder the problems: emotional stress, risk to our health, reduced wages and job security, and diminished retirement guarantees.

Without social and economic policies that support, affirm, value, and supplement the caregiving that we do, we’re facing an impossible task. Our society may sentimentalize motherhood and caretaking, but it does little to support the concrete needs of mothers and other caretakers. We need affordable, accessible, high-quality, comprehensive long-term care services to support our work at home, and paid leave from our jobs to do it.

If you are a caregiver—whether it’s a labor of love, a duty, or some combination of the two—give yourself credit and feel proud. You are doing important work. Providing continuity of love, care, and connection across the generations is of great value.

Many of us may be worried about not having time for our spouse or partner or for our children, missing work, or not saving enough for a secure retirement. When the physical or emotional demands upon us increase, we are more likely to feel burdened by our caretaking responsibilities and less likely to take care of ourselves.

Take time to do good things for yourself. It is important to acknowledge your feelings, monitor and learn to manage your stress, and take care of your own health.

Also, recognize that caring for elderly family members is a responsibility that is difficult if not impossible to manage alone. Whenever possible, enlist help from others—whether your siblings, partner, children, other relatives, family friends, or paid professionals. Ask those who live far away to contribute financially or to provide you with occasional breaks. Organizations in your community may also offer help, such as free meal delivery and respite care. If you are financially able, consider hiring someone to help with cleaning or provide other assistance.

Caregiving can bring us closer to family, but sometimes it causes strain in family relationships. If conflicts arise on health care decisions, financial and living arrangements, or communication problems, remember that help is available. You may also be able to find a support group in your community. If you live far from your older relatives, geriatric care managers can help organize needed services and solve problems.

Try to avoid potential problems by preparing in advance. Find out if your parents have drawn up a will, a health care proxy, and an advance directive or living will with instructions for emergency care and end-of-life decisions; if they haven’t, ask them to consider doing so. Make sure you and other important people in their lives have copies. Know where to look for Social Security cards, financial account information (pensions, checkbooks, savings passbooks, stock certificates, bonds, and trusts), health insurance (Medicare, co-insurance, Medicaid, long-term care), home insurance, and other legal documents. Having a power of attorney or signature on an account enables you to take care of bills and transactions if this becomes necessary. Find out what kind of living situation your parents want if they can no longer live independently. As we take care of others, it’s also important to think about our own aging and anticipate our own long-term.
