Healthy Eating Tips for Seniors to Keep in Mind

As you age, the definition of eating healthy also changes. As we grow older, our body’s metabolism slows down, this would mean that we need to eat fewer calories than what we are used to. Your body would also need more nutrients. At Lowenhill Home Care Services, we have care providers who can help seniors make delicious meals with the best nutritional value each day.

Make sure that you eat a variety of foods to get all the nutrients you need, and keep in mind the list of recommended foods provided by your doctors. To make mealtimes more enjoyable, try playing with colorful and healthy foods on your plate like bright colored foods are always the best choice! A healthy meal should include lean protein, fruits, and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, or other alternatives. Remember to choose foods that are high in fiber and low in sodium or salt. Also, look for Vitamin D, it is an important mineral as we age.

If you want to achieve healthy eating or have someone prepare healthy food options for your or your senior loved ones each day, we have the right care providers who can for you. Not only that, but we also provide a wide range of home care services that you can choose from.
