Moms hold a special place in our lives. The bond that we share with her cannot be imitated by any other relationship. While it is difficult to fully appreciate her everyday, Mother’s Day is a great opportunity to prove that you care.
An important aspect of our lives is our health and staying healthy is even more important especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic. As mothers always prioritise other family members’ wellness over their own well being, this Mother’s Day let’s have a look at what we can do to take care of her physiological and psychological health as she grows older.
Good Diet
A mother keeps a track of our eating habits when we are young and even later. Now, it’s time for a role reversal and we should keep a check on our mother’s eating habits now.
Don’t forget to include a fibrous, high-protein diet. Ensure that she takes multi-vitamins and minerals. This will keep nutrient deficiencies at bay.
Smart Watch
Keep a track of one’s health from the wrist is always a good idea. Consider a smartwatch as a Mother’s Day gift this year, so that her health indicators are continuously monitored.
A luxurious pillow or a mattress
A comfortable night sleep is of utmost importance. With age these requirements change as well. Consult your family doctor to make sure that the mattress and pillow on your mom’s bed are fit for her.
Stress Management
Mothers are often known for their stressful behavior. They even get stressed if you have skipped a meal. Help to reduce her stress in whatever way possible. Don’t let her feel alone and always cheer her up.
Gift her a cook book
Our mothers might know it all but you can always gift your mom a cook book of healthy recipes. Make sure that she eats the right way while taking care of your taste buds.
Give her time
Time is the most important thing that you can give to your mother. Try to be with her even when she says ‘don’t bother’. Support and help her in whatever ways you can.
