Healthy Eating Tips for Aging Adults

Good nutrition is one of the most important parts of staying healthy as we age. Eating well supports energy, strengthens the immune system, and helps maintain independence. Here are simple ways seniors can make nutrition a daily priority:

• Balanced Meals: Include a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains at each meal.

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support digestion, circulation, and joint health.

• Smaller Portions: Lighter, more frequent meals can make eating easier and more enjoyable.

• Calcium & Vitamin D: Choose foods like milk, yogurt, or fortified alternatives to support bone strength.

• Limit Processed Foods: Reduce sodium, sugar, and unhealthy fats that can affect heart and kidney health.

• Make Mealtime Social: Sharing meals with family, friends, or a caregiver makes eating more enjoyable and encourages better nutrition.

• Plan Ahead: Prepare healthy snacks and easy meals in advance to avoid skipped meals or takeout.
