🍊 Did you know? Vitamin C matters in winter. 🍊

During the colder months, our bodies need good, balanced nutrition to support overall health and wellbeing.

Vitamin C is an important nutrient that supports the immune system, helps with wound healing, and assists the body to absorb iron from plant-based foods.

Good sources of Vitamin C include:

🍊 Oranges, naartjies and grapefruit
🍓 Strawberries
🫑 Peppers
🥦 Broccoli
🥔 Potatoes
🥬 Brussels sprouts and leafy greens

A colourful plate is often a nourishing plate — and small daily food choices can make a meaningful difference.

Did you know? Quality care also happens behind the scenes.

Quality is not only seen in the final plate or the completed task — it is built into the small daily details: planning, preparation, hygiene, presentation, teamwork and consistency.

At GERATEC, we believe strong systems and caring teams work together to create better outcomes for older persons.

🚶‍♀️ Did you know? Gentle movement supports winter wellness. 🚶‍♂️

During the colder months, it can be tempting to sit still and stay indoors — but even small amounts of gentle movement can make a meaningful difference.

Light daily movement can help support circulation, mobility, balance and mood, especially for older persons.

Simple ideas include:

👟 Walking indoors
🙆 Gentle stretching
🪑 Chair exercises
🏠 Light household tasks
🤝 Group movement activities

The key is to move safely, comfortably and according to each person’s ability.

A little movement each day can help support strength, confidence and wellbeing this winter.
