3. Travelling with family would be different than when travelling with friends. Especially,
when everyone knows each other's behaviour and mood to the last detail. When you
have seniors on travel, always be flexible to take regular breaks. It would be a good oppor-
tunity to have a nice stretch. A walk could refresh the mind. And maybe it could give the
time to do your favourite activity or crack a joke or two!
The age of senescence does not put a full-stop to the possibilities of dreams. It is the right
time to travel the world with your loved ones. The desire to travel is abundant but it is
equally important to care for oneself and others. Explore the colourful cities and culture
through a global journey. Erase the constant worries and give some space to travel
thoughts.
When you have your aged parent on the journey, make a note of few things to have a
smooth trip:
Stressless travel for seniors

4. Nourishmentisthenecessarythumbruleonajourney.General-
ly, the mothers are remindful to keep enough of snacks for the
entire family. The goody bag, that is, the picnic basket
prepared by the mothers comes along with favourite snacks of
the family members. For the elders, it is essential to take their
meals on time as they would have to take daily medications.
Having food on the wheels solves the confusions and becomes
a life-saver when one does not find a good restaurant on the
way.
Safety in every step. Keep an eye on the elders at all times.
Grandkids can assist their grandparents in doing activities by
just holding their hands and providing the extra support. This
kind of quality time will open windows for the senior to share
memories and interesting experiences with their grandkids. It
is also a great time to interact with one's grandparents.
One of the important essentials on an expedition is the safety
medical kit. Keep a checklist of the necessary medicines which
are needed. And make sure it is packed and suitable for use.
Travelling gear is a must on trips. Walking sticks, strollers,
wheelchairs, neck cushions and scarves are the protective
gears for a happy journey. Knowing the nearby hospitals and
clinics would help us to handle any kind of medical emergency
during the travel.

5. As the name implies, it’s all about senior care. Senior living can
be quite the handful of tasks to keep up with. Follow this
section to get handy tips for a breezy lifestyle.
Health is wealth: How to tackle craving for sweets?
Answer: Sweets can be disastrous for seniors if they are diabet-
ic. But they do not have to avoid the sweet tooth at all times.
• Including dry fruits like dates, apricots with a mixture of pow-
dered nuts can help satiate the feeling.
• Papaya is a fruit that is diabetic-friendly.
• Palm sugar candy has lower glycaemic index compared to
other sugar sources and cools the body. This is could be the
best occasional indulgence.
But do take care, moderation is the key to success!
All about seniors!
• Form and share riddles with your companions. Creat-
ing these riddles can bring out the creativity and also
allowing for some fun time with friends.
• Sudoku –The brain buster filled with numbers for the
challenging mind. Find the key and solve the pattern
to experience the completeness of a grid of digits.
• Memory of Fruits - The game starts with a name of
fruit. The consecutive person should name the previ-
ous fruit and add in a new one. Keep the loop going on
until all are out. Customize the game by replacing the
theme of the game.
It’s game time:
Pastimes with brain boosters for the curious!
