Loneliness can cause many health problems, making people less active, increasing the risk of heart disease, raising blood sugar levels, worsening sleep quality, and making daily tasks harder. It is also linked to memory issues, Alzheimer's disease, and a higher risk in older adults of dying earlier. These effects persist even when accounting for other factors like depression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64c7f39261414e37b0c3d914/4570b3cb-845e-48d3-874c-4a3ee8a95ac3/SBNC-Logo-Secondary.png Blog - Mind and Movement: The Link Between Mental Health & Fall Prevention - Always, and Especially, Post-Helene - To help address these challenges, Social Bridging NC created a social isolation self-assessment to help you see whether you are at risk of being isolated.

Drink lots of fluids: The National Council on Aging recommends that a general rule is to take one-third of your body weight and drink that number of ounces in fluids. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, aim to drink at least 50 ounces, or 6 cups, or water each day. If you feel dehydrated or need to switch up the flavor of water, drinks with electrolytes (Gatorade), or powder electrolyte packets (Liquid IV) are great options for hydration too. However, it’s best to talk with your doctor to determine how much water you should drink daily. Certain medications can make you more prone to dehydration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64c7f39261414e37b0c3d914/c9715cc7-661b-458c-bbca-6bf2a59287a2/Ladies.jpeg Blog - 10 Must-Know Heat Safety Tips to Stay Balanced in the Heat - Make it stand out Here’s a quick recap of what you can do to stay safe in the heat: Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine.
