OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES – ESSENTIAL FOR SENIORS

The importance of outdoor activities.

Getting outdoors is important for people of all ages but outdoor activities are essential for seniors. It is a great way to relax and take peace from the natural beauty that surrounds us.

Going outside in the fresh summer air is a wonderful way for elders and caregivers to spend their time together. It encourages light exercise and promotes socializing, which are both important parts for a healthy senior lifestyle. Going outside can get your brain moving, too. Even if you simply sit outside or take a short stroll, the sensory stimulation that nature provides activates the brain.

Fresh air benefits everyone, seniors and caregivers alike.

Most people spend 90% of their time indoors, so just imagine what that statistic must be for seniors, who often have more difficulty moving around and fewer commitments outside the home. While staying indoors may be the norm, it deprives you of a vital ingredient for physical and emotional wellbeing – fresh air.

Breathe In Happiness.

Fresh air can make you happy! Oxygen stimulates your body to produce serotonin, a chemical that lightens your mood and increases feelings of calm and wellbeing. Studies have also shown that breathing in the scent of the outdoors, such as flowers and pine trees, makes people feel happy and relaxed

Here are some activities which may help to entice your loved ones into nature.

  1. Gardening 

Gardening is one of the most popular outdoor activities for seniors. This is a great way for seniors to stay active and maintain strength and flexibility. This light aerobic activity is very beneficial and be incorporated easily into a daily routine.

  1. Walks

A great way to stay active is through walks. Whether it be long hikes or a quick jaunt around the neighborhood, walking helps to maintain cardio in a senior’s lifestyle. It’s also a great way to get some fresh air and see the sights the environment around you has to offer.

  1. Bird Watching 

While birdwatching can sometimes be a less exciting activity, it can be beneficial in calming the mind and allowing for reflection. This is a great activity for seniors who wish to enjoy and connect with nature. It’s very soothing and therapeutic.

  1. Fruit Picking 

Fruit picking is a great way to get out and get some fresh air while partaking in mild exercise. If you live in an area that is more agricultural, you or your loved one might be able to benefit from small berry farms.

  1. Picnic 

A classic outdoor activity. Picnics serve as a great way to get out and soak up some Vitamin D. Fresh air and good conversation are great for both seniors and caregivers.

  1. Photography 

An easy and enjoyable activity, photography can be enjoyed in the moment as well as later. After capturing memories, you can enjoy reminiscing about each photo.
