ISSEMYM seeks greater attention to the health of older adults / @Edomex >>>

#Edoméx.- Old age is a normal and irreversible physiological process in which various diseases and ailments appear, so it is vitally important to have a medical check-up and specialized follow-up to improve the quality of life of these patients, said José Luis Arzate Sánchez, a doctor at the Social and Assistance Center for pensioners of the Social Security Institute of the State of Mexico and Municipalities (ISSEMYM).

In the framework of Grandparents’ Day, he stressed that primary caregivers must have close surveillance and help them have a healthy old age, since older adults are people who require delicate care.

In addition to the above, he recommended the use of sunscreen, maintaining continuous hydration, a nutritious diet, getting enough sleep, avoiding tobacco consumption and excessive alcohol; being aware of personal hygiene and mood; in addition to doing physical activity according to age; all this will help to cope with physiological changes and alterations in the body.

She stressed that ISSEMYM is currently seeking to provide better quality services, in order to transform the quality of life of this age group, as instructed by Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez.

An example of this is the recent opening of the ISSEMYM Day House for Retirees and Pensioners, a sociocultural space that contributes to recreation and healthy leisure for adults.
