If you fall into the latter group, it is important to find ways to cope with and combat high stress levels.

Some Natural Methods for Seniors to Try

Many people associate stress problems with the younger generation, but a lot of seniors also suffer from high stress levels. It is important to ensure that, as an older person, you take on board some of the tips below as well as ensuring you have regular visits to a medical facility that specializes in geriatrics care to keep an eye on your overall health. Finding natural ways to combat higher stress levels makes it much easier for you to improve your quality of life without having to turn to drug-based treatment. As many people will know from experience, high stress levels can affect many other areas of your life including physical health, relationships, finances, and more. If you are retired, you could find that you are unable to enjoy your golden years because of the effects of stress. The earlier you take action, the better. One of the things that can exacerbate stress in older people is lack of sleep, so it is important to ensure you get proper sleep on a regular basis. If you have problems getting to sleep, which is often the case if you are stressed, you can try things such as developing a night-time routine, having a warm bath or warm milk before bed, or taking natural supplements to help aid sleep. Also, avoid things such as late-night eating, caffeine drinks, and alcohol. Another way in which you can help to reduce stress is through gentle and regular exercise. When you exercise, it releases endorphins and also helps to lower cortisol levels, which can lead to increased stress. The feel-good endorphins will help to lift your mood and energize you. In addition, regular exercise can help to promote and regulate better sleep patterns, which can further help to reduce stress levels. As a senior, you may have mobility issues but you may still be able to do some gentle exercise and activity. Traditional Chinese treatments have also been known to help combat higher stress levels. One of the things that can help with stress and anxiety is acupuncture, which involves the insertion of very thin needles at strategic points around the body to stimulate these areas. Massage such as reflexology can also help to relax and de-stress you, and many older people swear by treatments such as these. One final thing you can try in order to relieve stress naturally is to change your diet and lifestyle. If you eat unhealthy meals or skip meals and you drink a lot of alcohol, it can make your stress worse. Try to eat healthy, balanced meals with a variety of vitamins and minerals — this is something that is important for older people anyway, as it can aid other areas of your health. Also, reduce your alcohol intake if you are drinking more than you should, as this can exacerbate stress and depression.

Enjoy a Better Quality of Life

By taking steps to naturally reduce your stress levels, you can look forward to a far better quality of life and boost your overall well-being.
