Why Good Nutrition Is Important for Your Aging Loved One
A balanced diet plays a crucial role in health and wellness for everyone, but it’s especially essential for older adults. As we age, we’re more at risk for having nutritional deficiencies for many reasons, including:
- Loss of taste sensations that result in not eating enough or eating too much of one type of food, like sweets or fast food
- Medical conditions that can affect the way we eat
- Physical impairments that can make shopping and cooking more difficult
Seniors who don’t get the nutrients they need are at greater risk for many health problems and might not be able to live as independently as they would like. But you can help your aging loved one get the nutrients they need from their diet and supplements, in addition to keeping an eye out for warning signs of nutritional deficiencies and knowing when it’s time to get help. -
