In contemporary era, despite specialists’ statement that with regular catching up with others and working out, the old could be healthier and happier, a few people still are susceptible to be lonely and inadequate for exercise. This essay will shed light on how this phenomenon occurred and how to tackle it.
Regarding several underlying elements of this situation, firstly, as elderly have a high likelihood of living far from their offsprings, which could lead to the shortage of interaction with others either in their families, specifically when their children need to earn money to afford their lives. This would lead to the sense of isolation for the aged, especially when they can not adapt to new technology straightforwardly. Besides, the second culprit could be the emergence of several chronic diseases that severely degrades the physical health of the old. When this situation happens, they would get into a vicious circle, in which they are not healthy enough to retain a regiment of exercise but they are also vulnerable to diseases if they could not work out regularly, hence lethargic feeling to maintain fitness.
Therefore, several feasible solutions have to be implemented to alleviate this situation, both mentally and physically. First, local authorities could erect commune houses designated for the elderly so that they would no longer feel tedious. Those places could assist the aged to strike up new friendships with people in their ages as well as facilitate their lives more comprehensively with the latest facilities. In addition, programmes concerning fitness and health, which are consulted by experts in those specific fields, need to be easy to access for the elderly. Thus, they can both keep doing morning exercise more regularly with their neighbours and adopt a well-balanced diet which is beneficially meant to boost their stamina.
In conclusion, the phenomenon of getting exposed to loneliness and inadequacy of exercising, stemming from various reasons, has become more and more ubiquitous for the old. Owing to that, communities have to join hands to resolve this problematic issue with above-mentioned measures.
