Senior Diet
A "Senior Diet" refers to a nutritional plan specifically designed for older adults, focusing on their unique health needs. This diet typically emphasizes whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. It aims to provide essential nutrients while managing common age-related issues like heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
In a senior diet, hydration is also crucial, as older adults may have a reduced sense of thirst. Additionally, portion control and balanced meals help maintain a healthy weight and energy levels. Consulting with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian can further tailor the diet to individual health conditions and preferences.
