Healthy Food Choices for Seniors to Age Well

To achieve and maintain good health, paying attention to how we nourish our bodies is essential, especially for older adults at risk of getting a disease due to lower immunity. What you eat affects your quality of life. Eating well strengthens your body by boosting energy levels, improving mental sharpness, and many more.

As a provider of home health care in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, we want to ensure that everyone we take care of is in good health, and the first step is to eat appropriately, filling your body with the necessary nutrients. With that, here are healthy food choices for seniors:

• Fruits and Vegetables
  Aside from the usual banana and apples, try out berries and melons. As for vegetables, choose ones rich in antioxidants like broccoli, kale, carrots, and squash.
• Healthy Fats
  Instead of completely cutting out fat, choose healthy ones, such as Herring, Sardines, and Tuna, which are rich in Omega-3s.
• Fiber
  Adding fiber to your diet lowers risks of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes; try out whole-wheat pasta, Barley, Oats, and Quinoa.

Buying ingredients and cooking your food can be a challenge for seniors, and DEVOTED HOME HEALTH AGENCY, INC. is here to help through our meal preparation services! With our assistance, we will ensure that the food you eat is nutritious and delicious.
