On 19th January we prepared conversation hours in Elderly
home Ljutomer once again.There were 15 elderly people who took part in our
event. The main theme of conversation was what do elderly people think about
healthy lifestyle. We asked them how do they take care of their health. They
all had pretty similar answers. Most of them participate on everyweek sports
activities, like basketball, bowling,.. They also usually take a walk through
the Ljutomer's park and when it is summer they frequently stop for ice cream.
Lots of women said that they occasionally give up desserts because of diabetes
and blood pressure.They also drink lots of water and tea without sugar. They
believe healthy lifestyle is very important especially because with it they
have better control of their illness. However we realised that in winter,
although there are many sports activities organised for them, they rarely
participate in them. They said the main reason for this is that it is too cold
and that is why they feel lazy in these short winter days. As a solution we
decided to organise a walk with them through our neighborhoud next month. They
were all very excited about it.
