If you have not taken any steps toward self-care, it’s time to start now. A-1 Home Care applauds you for your efforts in caring for your elderly loved one. As many families can attest, providing assistance with daily tasks such as meal preparation, overnight care, and toileting care can take a toll on your physical health, especially if your loved one’s condition is such that you have to stay awake all night to ensure your loved one’s safety. Over a period of time, when your body’s stress response system is stimulated day after day, night after night, you will experience some of these long-term effects:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Osteoporosis
- Colon disorders
- Gastrointestinal disorders
- Viral infections
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Lupus
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Multiple Sclerosis
All of the aforementioned diseases have been linked to high levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6), an immune system protein that’s activated in response to trauma, stress, cancer and infection. One study showed that family caregivers had a 63% higher death rate than their counterparts, and about 70% of the caregiver participants passed away before the study was over.
