Health Eating for Seniors | 2019-04-03
Everyone can benefit from eating healthy food and maintaining a well-balanced diet. For seniors, this is especially important. According to the AARP, 60% of seniors are more likely to experience depression because of food insecurity.
Older adults without elderly care and assisted living can suffer from more severe negative health effects that come with a nutrient-poor diet. These can include weight issues, lowered immunity, cognition problems and weak muscles, joints and bones.
Seniors should always discuss their specific dietary and supplement needs with their physician and personal support worker. However, there are some nutrients that can be helpful for most, and are found in a variety of delicious, enjoyable foods. Here are a few of the nutrients that are important for older adults:
There are many other nutrients that are important for seniors. People that have specific questions about their diet or the vitamins and nutrients they need should talk to a doctor or nutritionist. These experts can help someone evaluate their current diet and can help with healthy eating goals.
Nutrition becomes more important as we get older, and the trusted care team at Comfort Keepers Brampton/North Mississauga can help. Our personal support workers can help support physician-prescribed exercise regimens and diets, and can help with grocery shopping and meal preparation. Our goal is to see that clients have the means to find the joy and happiness in each day, and to support health and wellness goals.
