Thanksgiving Tips for Seniors: Staying Safe, Healthy, and Stress-Free

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time for family, friends, and good food — but it can also bring challenges for seniors. With a little planning, you can enjoy the holiday safely and comfortably. Here are three tips to make the most of your Thanksgiving:

1. Plan Meals with Health in Mind

Holiday meals are delicious, but heavy foods can be tough on digestion or interact with medications. Consider smaller portions, balance indulgent dishes with fruits and vegetables, and stay hydrated throughout the day.

2. Pace Yourself with Activities

Decorating, cooking, or hosting can be physically demanding. Take breaks, sit when needed, and don’t hesitate to ask for help. Keeping energy levels steady will help you enjoy the day without overexertion.

3. Keep Healthcare and Medications Organized

Holidays can disrupt routines. Make sure medications are easy to access and taken on schedule. If traveling, bring a list of prescriptions and your healthcare information, just in case.
