Tips to Stay Healthy During
Coronavirus Lockdown
Times are difficult. We
have entered the third
phase of lockdown due to
coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic. And health
experts are saying
‘older people are more
likely to contract the
disease.’

So, driving our attention towards the
ones who need it most during such
times, are the senior citizens.
This is because their
immune system may not
be as strong as the
youngster's one.
Therefore, the potential
danger of the novel
coronavirus has left many
older people worried.

But despite all the
difficulties we are
facing and no control
over certain risk
factors like old age, it
is imperative that we
adopt all the possible
measures to help
seniors stay healthy
and safe.
Yes, we have
possible
solutions to
keep our
elderly safe and
healthy during
the lockdown.

Here are smart tips
to follow during
corona virus
lockdowns.
They are
Extremely
helpful and
beneficial for
every citizen.

You can help elderly people procure
basic groceries during the
coronavirus lockdown. You can offer
them simple and fresh home-cooked
meals (canned and processed food
must be avoided).
1. Eat Healthy to Stay Fit
It is a must for people
to stay on track when
it comes to diet.

You can let them add
in their diet green
vegetables, pulses,
and seasonal fruits like
mango, watermelon,
and honeydew melon
as they work as
antioxidants.

Also, you can help
them make a habit of
drinking at least 3 litres
of water every day.
This will help them
maintain good health.

2. Buy Health Insurance Policy.
Having a health
insurance policy that
covers coronavirus
disease is essential.
Look for an adequate cover.
There are plans in the market
that can provide complete
coverage against the corona
virus pandemic. This way, they
will be financially strong.

3. Easy Exercises Regularly
A little but regular exercise is sure to
benefit not only the elderly people
but all. There are many easy
exercises that senior citizens can do
to stay fit and happy. But the most
basic of all is simply walking around
the home. Besides, you can help
them do some stretching exercises as
this also helps elderly people stay
active.

4. Keep The Brain Active
Not only physical activities, but
some mind games can also be of
great help to keep senior citizens
active as well as engaged. You can
play with them some games they
like such as Sudoku, Carrom,
Ludo, Chess, Crossword puzzles,
etc.

Other ways to keep them engaged is
watching their favorite shows on
the television, engaging in
conversations they like or
discussing current topics with them.
This will make them happy and
will go a long way in keeping them
healthy during the lockdown.

If the elderly people you love live far
from your place, then you need to take
even more care of them. This is
because staying away from the loved
ones can be difficult for them
especially in a case where they are
already suffering from a pre-existing
disease.

So, it becomes important to check upon
them quite a few times in a day. You can
call them, or even visit them if they live in
your vicinity. Either way, make sure you

health emergency arises.

actions in case any elderly in
your family feels sick or
develops the coronavirus
symptoms. Make sure you
have in stock all the medicines
they take. Also, you should be
ready if the situation demands
to call the doctor at your place.

In case
hospitalisation is
required, you must
have a mode of
transport that makes
it easier for the
patient to visit the
hospital during the
lockdown.
Save the doctor’s number in your phone
and keep a note of doctors in your
vicinity.

Make it a habit to wash hands
often with soap and water for
around 20 seconds.
7. Keep Yourselves And Your Surroundings Clean
If soap and water are
not available, use an
alcohol-based hand
sanitizer.

Also, assist the older people in
washing their hands properly.
Ensure that the
homes of the elderly
People are
disinfected regularly,
especially electronics and
other commonly used items
like doorknobs, remote, and
table.

today’s technology. But those using a
