Elder Tips for Healthy Eating, pt 2

Does everyone follow the phrase, “you are what you eat”? Of course, not always. But ingesting healthy foods into the engine of an elderly body DOES make a positive difference.

Here are some tips to implement healthy eating habits into your elderly lifestyle:

— Start small: Implement changes gradually to give your body and palate time to adjust.
— Plan meals: Prepare a weekly menu that incorporates elements of the Mediterranean or DASH diet.
— Cook at home: You can control the ingredients and portion sizes.
— Practice mindful eating: Pay attention to hunger cues and savor your food.
— Stay active: Complement your eating plan with regular physical activity.

Before starting any new eating or exercise plan, it’s important to solicit some informed (expert) advice. Please consult with your health care provider, or primary care physician. They can offer personalized advice based on your current health status and long-term goals. Ask questions.

Following the plan of care prescribed by your doctor, including diet restrictions and recommendations, is the educated elderly methodology.
