1. Take care of your teeth
Cavities are also quite common in older people since bacteria are built up in their mouths and cause tooth decay. However, you can prevent all these issues by brushing your teeth twice a day with a soft bristle toothbrush, flossing daily, having regular check-ups, and avoiding sugar and tobacco as much as possible.
2. Don’t skip your Vitamin D intake
3. Take care of your feet
4. Sugar-free drinks are your enemy
You would think that sugar-free fizzy drinks would be a great option for older people. However, this is further from the truth. Most of those drinks contain aspartame, sucralose, and saccharin. Not only do these ingredients have a negative effect on your weight, but they can also cause gastrointestinal and digestive issues, such as bloating and gas.
Moreover, sugar-free drinks contain high doses of caffeine, which may raise your blood pressure. Lastly, when you drink these fizzy sodas regularly, you increase the chances of cavities forming in your teeth. So, stick to water instead and drink full-sugar sodas in moderation.
5. Do acupuncture
6. Tone down the temperature
