Elderly Nutrition

Elderly nutrition focuses on providing balanced, nutrient-rich foods to support overall health, energy, and aging well. As people age, their nutritional needs change; they often require fewer calories but need more vitamins, minerals, and protein to maintain muscle mass, bone strength, and immune function. Key nutrients include calcium, vitamin D, protein, fiber, and antioxidants. Proper nutrition can help prevent chronic illnesses, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life. It’s important to tailor diets to individual health conditions, encourage staying hydrated, and promote enjoyable, manageable eating habits.
