Silver Innings Gero-Psychological Care Programme for Senior Citizens in India

A commendable Initaiative for the betterment of Aged population of MMRDA by the Silver Inning Foundation.


In Oct 2009 Silver Innings had launched one of its kinds in India Silver Innings Gero-Psychological Care Programme Senior Citizens in India, Holistic approach to our elderly.


Initially this Helpline/programme is available in Mumbai MMRDA region only.


One of the most important aspects of being human is our emotional or psychological nature. Our Gero-psychological care program, therefore, is founded on the belief that even the very best physical care is not sufficient as there is something more to it. During this time of transition--often from independent to community living, from self-sufficient to increasing dependency--emotional and psychological care are especially crucial.

Our elderly can encounter psychologically painful issues of loss and adjustments in lifestyle, often complicated by medical problems, memory loss, and depression requiring specialized care. We offer program that addresses the psycho-social-emotional needs of Senior Citizens. This is a specialized program that focuses on the unique psychological and emotional needs of the Elderly.


Silver Innings trusts that Elderly are best looked after and cared for in their own homes environment and community. With our experience we understand that our Elderly are looking for that human comfort and caring. This service will be provided in home, Institutions and consulting rooms depending on the need of the individual or group.

The ultimate goal of this programme is to bring that Hope, the Sense of Belonging and 'Smile' on the face of our Elderly."


Trained Clinical Psychologist and Volunteers will provide these services.

Type 2 Diabetes - Little Changes That Can Make a Big Difference to Your Blood Sugar and Body Weight

Type 2 Diabetes - Little Changes That Can Make a Big Difference to Your Blood Sugar and Body Weight By Beverleigh H Piepers In your quest for better health, you may need all of the help you can get. It's not a coincidence most adults struggle with their well-being. We live in a time where it's easy to become complacent with what matters the most. We give in to temptations. We submit to laziness. Ultimately, unless a cataclysmic event inspiring the necessary change occurs, we tend to resume our indiscretions. The above summarizes how many people develop Type 2 diabetes or become overweight. If you're overweight, it's not because your body is predisposed to storing more fat.  Nor is it because you have "fat genes." Rather, it's because you've made the wrong choices time and time again.

संतुलित आहार का वृद्धावस्था में महत्व

पौष्टिक आहार और संतुलित भोजन क्या है ? पौष्टिक आहार वो आहार हैं जिसमे हर ज़रूरी तत्व (जैसे protein, fats, carbohydrates और minerals) उचित मात्रा में शरीर को मिलते हैं। एक संतुलित आहार में ये सब सही मात्रा में और सही अनुपात में मौजूद होते हैं। Proteins, fats और carbohydrates रोज़मर्रा के कार्यों के लिए ऊर्जा प्रदान करते हैं। Vitamins और Minerals ऊर्जा तो नहीं देते पर शरीर के विभिन्न कार्यों को नियंत्रित करने और क्रियांवित करने मर मदद करते हैं। भोजन पौष्टिक, सुपाच्य और आसानी से उपलब्ध होना चाहिए। बुज़ुर्ग द्वारा खाये गए भोजन की मात्रा महत्वपुर्ण होती है क्या? भोजन की मात्रा से गुणवत्ता का महत्व ज्यादा है। व्यक्ति की उम्र, लिंग, शारीरिक क्षमता, ऊंचाई और वजन के अनुरूप ही ज़रूरी पोषक तत्वों की मात्रा निर्धारित होती है । छोटा आहार भी पौष्टिक हो सकता है। उदहारण के लिए 100gm गेहूँ में 12gm प्रोटीन होता है जबकि उतने ही चावल में मात्र 6.4gm प्रोटीन है। इसी प्रकार 100gm रागी में 344 mg कैल्शियम है जब की उतने ही चावल में सिर्फ 9mg। जैसे जैसे व्यक्ति बुज़ुर्ग होता जाता है, क्या उसकी ख...
