Holidays for grandparents
When it comes to holidays, it’s not just the children we should be thinking about taking away. It turns out, that there are plenty of benefits for our elderly relatives too, particularly when it comes to the health and happiness of our grandparents and great-grandparents.
Here at Parkdean Resorts, we’ve teamed up with James Brown, Biogerontologist from Channel 4’s ‘Old People’s Home for 4-Year-Olds’, to share some of the amazing health benefits a holiday can have on our elderly relatives.
From improving mood and enhancing memory to reducing loneliness and bettering physical function, a four-generation getaway really could be the answer to a longer and happier life.
With short travel times, picturesque locations and familiar environments, the UK is the ideal destination for a multi-generation holiday. Now, is the perfect time to start planning your next family break.
Benefits of multi-generational holidays
Sunlight
Sunlight helps your body to produce Vitamin D, which can lower blood pressure, help muscles, improve brain function and may even protect against cancer.
Sleep
Sea air helps us sleep better, and also makes us feel more relaxed and energised.
Outside
Being outdoors has a de-stressing effect and can lower blood pressure.
Behaviour
Spending time with their grandparents and great-grandparents can improve children's behaviour.
Memory
Holidaying with children in a familiar environment can improve autobiographical memory, which is the part of the brain that contains information about yourself.
Mobility
Children encourage their great-grandparents to be more active and forget about their physical capabilities, reminding them just how much they can physically do.
Skills
Creating new memories, as well as building new skills and experiences, is really important for the mental health of older adults.
Outlook
Holidaying with children can increase self-worth, giving great-grandparents a more positive outlook on life.
Happiness
Anybody who spends time around a happy child will feel happier, it's infectious. Laughing and smiling can help reduce stress, depression and loneliness in older adults. Children who are closer to their grandparents are more likely to be happier as adults.
Youthfulness
Spending time with children can make great-grandparents feel younger and more energetic.
Relationship
The younger you start the relationship with your grandparents or great-grandparents, the stronger the bond when you're older.
