Nutrition for Seniors
Most people don’t like cooking just for themselves, so they rely on fast food, frozen meals or canned soup for their daily meals. Seniors are particularly at risk because they often live alone, have little energy or money, and have taste buds that just don’t work like they used to. What can be done?
Eat with others. If you live alone, get together with friends or acquaintances and share a meal.
Shop sales. Look for fruits and vegetables in season when they are lower priced and have the best flavor.
Season food with herbs and spices, not salt.
Avoid sugary drinks. Not only are these bad for your insulin levels, they are also terrible for your waistline!
Fresh is best when available. Frozen vegetables packaged without sauces or butter are fine also.
Use smaller plates. It makes your servings look larger.
