NUTRITION FOR SENIORS

Why nutrition matters for older adults

Malnutrition is one of the most common issues in the senior population. It can happen for many reasons, including a weak or limited diet, tooth loss, decreased appetite, lack of transportation, living alone and medicine side effects.

Older adults also have a greater need for certain nutrients, which makes proper nutrition necessary for good health. With elderly nutrition therapy, we help with meal plans and simple recipes that help seniors reach their nutrient needs. Seniors can benefit from increased energy, alertness and immunity.
