3 Ways To Keep Your Parents Hale & Hearty

‘You have to finish your glass of milk’ has been a phrase we all have heard as we grew up. And a lot of times it was combined with a few others ‘Don’t leave any food on your plate, eat it!’ or ‘Sleep now! You have to wake up early’. As we sit and think, numerous instances cross our mind where our parents ensured our well-being. Now the roles have swapped, it’s our turn to check on their health for their happier and wholesome lives ahead. 

Here’s a list to ensure that your parents stay in the pink of their health for long: 

Spend quality time together

Giving a portion of your daily routine to connect with your parents can do wonders in uplifting their spirits. Lend your hand in daily chores or take out an old family photo album to rekindle their fond memories. Make sure you spend quality time with your parents, be it over a call or a cup of tea in the balcony. Especially in times when social-isolation is taking a toll over our mental and social health, a gesture of care and concern is the way to feel connected. You can also keep them motivated and healthy by joining them in a yoga session or an exercise routine. 

Make their healthcare a priority 

As we grow up and get busy with our lives, it’s important to keep a check on our parent’s mental and physical well-being. Make sure that your parents go for regular health checkups even when not on an illness radar. If possible, have home equipment to keep track of their blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature as well as blood sugar levels. 

Even if you stay away from them, be aware of their medical records and keep a track of their prescribed medicines. Additionally, you can order their medicines, nutritional supplements and other health essentials so they don’t have to worry about medicine refills. To make this possible, 1Tab offers doorstep delivery for a wide range of medicines across Allopathy, Homeopathy, Ayurveda and even an array of immunity-boosters and medical equipment. You can download the 1Tab app to order medicines according to your parent’s health requirements.  

Add nutrition to their diet

A well-balanced diet full of nutrition is the route to overall good health and enriched immunity. Whereas, in the hurry-scurry of daily lives, sometimes healthcare and sufficient dietary nutrition takes a backseat. Make sure that your parents are putting sufficient nutrients to their plates. Add more fruits, green vegetables, dairy and fibre-rich food that ensures proper intake of vitamins, calcium and protein. Proper nutrition and hydration will help them stay active throughout the day. 

Get to know about their nutrition intake and how they can alter it to maintain stable blood sugar levels, healthy cholesterol and blood pressure, strong bones as well as a robust immune system. If you can’t keep a regular check on their diet, try to include multivitamin tablets and nutritional supplements to nurture their well-being. Browse through a wide range of health supplements on 1Tab as per your parent’s health requirements and get it delivered to their doorstep. 

This year, take the initiative of parenting your parents by keeping a check on their daily routine, exercise schedule, nutrition and water intake as well as staying in sync with their medical and healthcare needs.
