As we age, our nutritional needs change — but eating well doesn’t have to be complicated. A few small shifts can make a big impact on energy, strength, and overall wellness.
Here are 5 simple ways to support healthy aging through nutrition:
🍽️ Enjoy food from every food group - Balance is key — include fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy.
🚫 Limit added sugar, saturated fats, and sodium
- Choose fresh, whole foods and read labels to stay in control.
💊 Focus on the nutrients you need, such as Vitamin D & Calcium
- Consult your doctor to determine what nutrients you should focus on.
💧 Stay hydrated
- As you get older, you may not notice thirst as much, so remember to drink water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
🥚 Get enough protein
- Include sources like eggs, beans, fish, or lean meats to maintain muscle strength.
