Senior Nutrition

Nutrition and healthy eating habits are important through all stages of life. As you age, a balanced and varied eating pattern remains important, however nutritional needs change. This is especially true if you take medications that may impact your appetite or vitamin and mineral needs. It is also true that the risks for nutrition-related diseases such as heart disease, osteoporosis and diabetes increase as you age. A nutritional consultation will address issues important to seniors, such as:

• Getting enough calcium and making sure it's being absorbed

• Physical fitness and bone strength

• Do you need a multivitamin/mineral supplement?

• Drug/nutrient interactions

• Increasing fiber intake

• Meeting nutritional needs on a limited budget

• Nutritional management of medical conditions
