important in old age

Many bodily processes change with age. The immune system weakens, muscle strength decreases, and chronic illnesses can increase. The goal is not only to prevent illness but also to preserve independence, mobility, and quality of life. Holistic care services and individualized consultations make a valuable contribution here – and this is precisely where Sernitas Care comes in.

A balanced diet forms the basis for physical health in old age. It helps with:

To slow down muscle loss (e.g., through a high-protein diet)
to strengthen the immune system (vitamin C, zinc)
To reduce inflammatory processes (Omega-3 fatty acids)

Equally important: Drink plenty of fluids! At least 1.5 liters of water or unsweetened tea per day is recommended.

Mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness. Puzzles, reading, games, or learning new things promote brain activity. Social contacts are also a valuable factor: conversations, shared laughter, or short trips strengthen mental well-being.
