✅ Plenty of water
✅ Light walking or gentle movement

Small daily habits can prevent bigger health issues.

High salt intake can cause the body to hold onto extra fluid, which makes the heart work harder and raises blood pressure. Over time, this can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke—especially for older adults. The challenge is that most sodium doesn’t come from the saltshaker, but from everyday foods like bread, canned soups, deli meats, sauces, and snacks.

Poor digestion can slow nutrient absorption, leaving the body low on essential vitamins and energy. 🥦✨

Our feet carry us through every stage of life — let’s take care of them! 👣

Regular washing, gentle drying (especially between the toes), and a little moisturizer each day can help prevent dryness and infection.

Keep toenails trimmed and clean, and if you notice redness, swelling, or pain, let your caregiver or nurse know right away.

Healthy feet mean better balance, comfort, and independence. 💕
