I’ve been helping my parents (both in their early 60s) make some small lifestyle changes, and I thought I’d share what worked for us in case it helps anyone else here.At first, I worried they’d resist anything that felt like a workout program or a strict diet. So instead of pushing, I started really small. We tried short walks after meals, a few easy strength exercises like chair squats in the morning, and simple meal swaps that didn’t feel like a ‘diet.’ I framed it as something fun we could do together, not something they ‘had’ to do.After a couple of weeks, I noticed their energy improved, they were sleeping better, and even day-to-day tasks seemed easier. The best part is they actually enjoyed it, which meant they stuck with it.I know a lot of us here are caring for loved ones who struggle with energy, motivation, or independence, and sometimes the small steps make the biggest difference. I ended up putting everything we tried into a short guide it’s in my profile if anyone wants to take a look.Curious, has anyone else here found little routines or tricks that worked well with your parents or loved ones?
Early 60s is young and, unless your parents have both suffered from diseases affecting their cognitive abilities, I don't think it's appropriate for an adult child to direct their parents' habits or daily living.
60’s aren’t often the problem .
Just my opinion.
