Healthy eating habits for elderly people

The definition of healthy eating habits changes with age. Maintaining the necessary nutrition and proper weight of the body can keep you active and self-sufficient in old age.

So with age we have to change our eating habits a little bit. Because our metabolism is slow. And the calorie requirement also decreases.

On the other hand, the need for nutrition increases. So a change in eating habits becomes urgent.

Those who do not exercise, it is important to maintain proper body weight by eating in moderation.

The body’s immunity decreases with age. This can lead to various physical problems such as diabetes, cataracts, muscle wasting, heart disease, osteoporosis, dementia, Alzheimer’s, etc.

In some cases these can be prevented temporarily but not completely prevented.

Many people have dental problems with age and should eat light and soft foods. People who suffer from constipation should eat fiber rich foods like milk, grains, muesli, yogurt etc.

In this way they will also get the necessary nutrition and there will be no stomach problems.

So you should always seek the advice of a good dietitian. Age will increase but it should be healthy and colorful.
