Maintaining Good Senior Health With Great Eating Habits

What Every Senior in Edmonton, AB, Needs to Know About Healthy Eating and Optimal Health

Maintaining Good Senior Health | Most of us know that what we eat impacts our body—we know we should eat more fruits and vegetables, and try to reduce fat and sugar. Maintaining a healthy diet is even more important than maintaining good health for seniors. A poor diet can impact weight issues, immunity or the ability to fight off a disease, and problems with muscles, joints, and bones.

Many seniors are balancing health diagnoses alongside life-long food habits. While change isn’t easy, eating good foods that make sense for your body and health can make seniors feel better.

Your in-home care provider can work with you and your doctor to understand foods to avoid, possible ways your medicines could interact with food choices, and the best way for you to maintain balanced nutrition.

Maintaining Good Senior Health with In-Home Care

Home care providers can also help create a daily routine with healthy habits like regular meals, preparing fresh foods, medication reminders, and drinking enough water. These daily habits can improve senior health and help maintain better health in the long run.

Skipping a meal or binge dieting can be as bad as a poor nutritional diet. Enjoying regular, balanced meals is a key part of good health every day.

For many seniors, cost becomes a factor in daily expenses, including food. The National Institute on Aging has a handy guide for shopping efficiently for healthy foods. Your in-home care provider can assist you with grocery shopping and meal preparation, including finding recipes that use local produce when it’s in season, and healthy.
