Older adults need to take an active role in shaping their diet and nutrition habits to ensure more energy, better disease prevention and quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>Seniors should consult their physician to discuss their individual needs.

Protein and fiber are important nutrients for seniors.

For those that are less inclined to drink water, there are alternatives \u2013 milk, juice and broth are all hydrating liquids, and there are hydrating foods including watermelon, cucumbers and grapes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If engaging in good eating habits is a struggle, there are steps seniors can take to ensure that they are getting <b>proper nutrition<\/b><b>. <\/b>In addition to consulting a physician about diet or health concerns they might have, they can also try the following tactics to get back on the right track:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Make meals a social occasion<\/b>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/guelph\/blog\/ways-for-seniors-to-remain-socially-connected\/\">grocerygro<\/a>. This can include making something healthy and delicious for others, or reaching out to people that love to cook healthy food and offering them some company at meal times.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Make healthy eating fit your budget<\/b>\u2013 Good food doesn\u2019t have to be expensive.
