ASLI TALENT SHOWCASE How It Helped Elders Stay Active Mentally And Physically

Your golden years are one of the best times of your life. You can sit back and relax, look at picking up new hobbies, get back to what you are passionate about and so on. But most often, seniors who live independently have to look into a lot of household chores and run errands, they are left with no free time. Even seniors who live in elderly homes in India don’t have access to many things that allow them to live the life they always wished for. But that’s not the case at Primus Senior Living. Unlike paid old age homes in India seniors at Primus Senior Living get to live a carefree life.

Primus Senior Living ensures that seniors are healthy and engaged at all times. The ASLI team recently organised a talent show “ASLI TALENT SHOWCASE”, where they organised various activities that included dance, a fashion show, a group song, unscramble numbers and sudoku. Here’s how this showcase helped elderly stay active mentally and physically.

Encourages socialising: There are two kinds of people, those who are comfortable by themselves and the others who are shy to socialise. Either way, it is not healthy to be by yourself. Many studies have stated how isolation can affect seniors’ mental health. The ASLI TALENT SHOWCASE encouraged all the seniors to come out and meet like-minded people, know other seniors better, bring a sense of well-being and improve their quality of life.

Improves flexibility and muscle strength: Activities like dance, a form of cardio exercise can offer a list of health benefits. Apart from burning calories, activities like dance can improve your flexibility and muscle strength and help deal with mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.

Lifts mood and improves sleep patterns: Indulging in activities and meeting new people can release happy hormones, improving your mood. This way, your mental health is in check along with your physical health. Indulging in activities and being happy also improves your sleep.
Lowers stress levels: Physical activities and board games act as a fun distraction that helps stimulate endorphins (the happy hormone), boosting serotonin throughout your body, and reducing your stress levels.

Keeps mind alert and improves memory: Board games are said to keep the mind focused and alert. These games are also said to keep the brain active, improving your memory, and making it easier for you to remember things.

Elderly homes in India like Primus Senior Living understand the importance of an active life for seniors. The ASLI team organises various activities just like the ASLI TALENT SHOWCASE to ensure seniors enjoy their golden years and make the most of it.
