3 Tasty Holiday Tips For Seniors To Enjoy A Healthy Thanksgiving In Pico Rivera

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching—and the leading home care agency in all of Southern California is giving elders in Pico Rivera something to be very thankful for!
That's because at A-1 Home Care, the elder care agency of choice in Los Angeles and Orange County, caregiving experts come to the comfort of the home with helping hands and a golden heart to provide diverse caregiver services that are as affordable as they are exceptional. A-1 Home Care has continued to provide in-home assistance to elders from all walks of life, including Jewish, Middle Eastern, Asian, and European, since its inception more than 20 years ago.

Below are 3 helpful eating tips for elders to enjoy a happy AND healthy Thanksgiving meal:
  1. Drink in moderation. Enjoy a drink or two—but stop it there. Indulging in any more drinks than that modest amount could lead to damage in your body that’s more long-term than you might expect.
  2.  Focus on preparation. With so many tasty morsels all around the dinner table, it’s hard NOT to indulge a little—and considering it’s Thanksgiving, why shouldn’t you? If you’re bringing a dish to the festivities, remember that those in attendance will be indulging, and prepare as healthy a dish as you can that allows for that extra indulgence—without the potential harmful health effects that many of the other treats on the table can have on the body!
  3. Remember your health. Don’t allow a mild cold to “go away on its own”-- set up a doctor’s appointment at your earliest convenience so that you won’t have to endure a painful Thanksgiving!
