Nutrition is about eating a healthy and balanced diet so your body gets the nutrients that it needs. Nutrients are substances in foods that our bodies need so they can function and grow. They include carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water.
It may also help prevent some diseases, such as osteoporosis, high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
But as you age, your body and life change, and so does what you need to stay healthy. To stay healthy as you age, you should:
•Eat foods that give you lots of nutrients without a lot of extra calories, such as
•Fruits and vegetables (choose different types with bright colors)
•Whole grains, like oatmeal, whole-wheat bread, and brown rice
•Fat-free or low-fat milk and cheese, or soy or rice milk that has added vitamin D and calcium
•Seafood, lean meats, poultry, and eggs
•Beans, nuts, and seeds
•Avoid empty calories. These are foods with lots of calories but few nutrients, such as chips, candy, baked goods, soda, and alcohol.
•Pick foods that are low in cholesterol and fat. You especially want to try to avoid saturated and trans fats. •Saturated fats are usually fats that come from animals. Trans fats are processed fats in stick margarine and vegetable shortening. You may find them in some store-bought baked goods and fried foods at some fast-food restaurants.
•Drink enough liquids, so you don't get dehydrated. Some people lose their sense of thirst as they age. And certain medicines might make it even more important to have plenty of fluids.
•Be physically active. If you have started losing your appetite, exercising may help you to feel hungrier.
