Active Ageing - Keep Older People Physically Healthy
Active ageing is the process of enhancing opportunities for health, social
involvement as well as security to improve quality of life as people grow old. It
applies to both individuals and population groups. Active ageing lets old people
understand their potential and take part in society.
Ageing in a healthy way is a concept often used to show the ambitions in
developing a comprehensive elderly care and service with the goal of increasing
independent lifestyle. Building an all-embracing society as well as enhancing
quality of life of increasingly elderly people by a comprehensive center or non
profit organization that meets the requirements of elderly persons can be an
important strategy for active aging.

“Health” refers to bodily, psychological as well as social well-being as expressed in
the World Health Organization description of health.
Regular, moderate workout by older adults is able to help delay or avoid the
beginning of disabilities and a lot of chronic illnesses, lessen the risk of falls as well
as fractures, enhance frame of mind and let go depression, increase mental
sharpness, and perhaps increase life expectancy.
Social involvement as well as social support is strongly related to good health and
happiness throughout life. Taking part in leisure, social, cultural and spiritual
activities in the community, along with the family, let older people carry on
exercising their competence, to enjoy respect and regard, and to sustain or
establish helpful and loving relationships.

It has been found that mental exercise improves mental abilities in healthy elderly
people. When all 3 of these domains are counted in the ageing process, wisdom
years turn out to be healthy, happy as well as active.
There are many NGOs in India that help senior citizens enjoy all these domains in
their establishment and make their life healthy. To offer help one can volunteer or
sponsor grandparents.
