How Stress Impacts End-of-Life Care

4/20/2018

stress
The American Psychological Association reveals that as our golden loved ones approach the end of their lives they, their families and care givers face tasks that include a broad array of choices or major decisions. Tasks include psychological, spiritual, legal, existential and preliminary medical. A dying person can be faced with choices about what kind of caregiver help they need at home or away from home in a facility.

All end-of-life medical decision choices have complex psychological ramifications and consequences that have an impact on the quality of the living of whom are dying. Each of these decisions should be discussed in terms of a value for the individual dying. Stress comes in when the system of medical care has its own primary values that does not coincide with the values of that person. Therefore, treatment or care possibilities by health care providers may overlook the dying person's wishes.
Alzheimer's or other dementia plays a huge role it the misunderstanding of treatment plans. It can be a stressful situation. To aid in this dilemma, there is help. If you, your loved ones or the care giver are feeling stressed, get support from family, friends and these important resources bulleted here:

Go Futher with GOOD Food

Fo futher with foodFrom: Eat Right
The National Nutrition Month campaign focuses on making good, informed food choices and developing sound eating habits with an active lifestyle. The 2018 campaign"Go Further with Food" is timely for many reasons. "Whether it's starting the day off right with a healthy breakfast or fueling before an athletic event, the foods you choose can make a difference" according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Preparing foods at home can be an additional plus. Refer to Food, Health, and Fitness for more information and recipes from Eat Right.

For seniors there are expert food, diet, and health resources available at- https://www.hhs.gov for just the facts and case studies. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services https://www.cms.gov is also an excellent resource.

One discussion from Eat Right on Understanding Osteoporosis pinpoints the needs for seniors. Osteoporosis is a disease that consists of weakened bones. For many, with a routine of a healthful diet and regular weight-bearing exercise these factors can aid in bone tissue continuing the process to build. Calcium, the major nutrient needed to form new bone cells, is vital for bone health. Eat Right indicates that women over age 50 and men over age 70 need at least 1,200 milligrams of calcium a day. Calcium still can't do it alone. Consulting a registered dietitian will help guide those seeking better nutritionist, recommendations for choosing the best supplements for stronger bones.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), it happens over time slowly and is the main reason for heart attacks. It has been established that adults, especially seniors, can greatly reduce the risk for CAD through lifestyle changes and with targeted medications.

Other kinds of heart disease challenges include heart valves not functioning property, the heart may not pump well enough and some people, unfortunately, are born with it.
