Last Friday, the last of the Active Aging Workshops and Talks of this course took place at the Senior Center in Herencia. In collaboration with the Castilla-La Mancha Regional Government and TeleVida, the day focused on a topic of special importance at this time of year: the prevention of the effects of heat on older people.
The high temperatures of summer can pose a risk to health, especially for older people, who are more vulnerable to heatstroke and other heat-related health problems. For this reason, the workshop focused on providing useful information to prevent these problems.
During the talk, the most serious illnesses that can affect older people in summer were addressed, their symptoms were detailed, and guidelines were offered on what to do when any of these symptoms appear.
The aim of these workshops is to promote active and healthy aging, providing older people with the necessary tools to care for their health and well-being. Prevention is a key element in being able to safely enjoy the summer, and this workshop has been a valuable opportunity to promote it.
The Senior Center and its collaborators will continue to work on organizing new activities and workshops that contribute to improving the quality of life for older people in Herencia.
