As people grow older, changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain. As a result, some people notice that they don’t remember information as well as they once did and aren’t able to recall it as quickly. They may also occasionally misplace things or forget to pay a bill. These usually are signs of mild forgetfulness, not a serious memory problem.

It’s normal to forget things once in a while at any age, but serious memory problems make it hard to do everyday things such as driving, using the phone, and finding the way home.

Signs that it might be time to talk with a doctor include:

-Asking the same questions over and over again
-Getting lost in places you used to know well
-Having trouble following recipes or directions
-Becoming more confused about time, people, and places
-Not taking care of yourself — eating poorly, not bathing, or behaving unsafely

Older adults have unique nutrition needs.

Simple adjustments can go a long way toward building a healthier eating pattern. Follow these tips to get the most out of foods and beverages while meeting your nutrient needs and reducing the risk of disease:

-Enjoy a variety of foods from each food group to help reduce the risk of developing diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. Choose foods with little to no added sugar, saturated fats, and sodium.
-To get enough protein throughout the day and maintain muscle, try adding seafood, dairy, or fortified soy products along with beans, peas, and lentils to your meals.
-Add sliced or chopped fruits and vegetables to meals and snacks. Look for pre-cut varieties if slicing and chopping are a challenge for you.
-Try foods fortified with vitamin B12, such as some cereals, or talk to your doctor about taking a B12 supplement.
-Reduce sodium intake by seasoning foods with herbs and citrus such as lemon juice.
-Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help stay hydrated and aid in the digestion of food and absorption of nutrients. Avoid sugary drinks.

Does an Older Adult in Your Life Need Help?

It is not always clear whether an aging parent or relative needs help. Sometimes a person will recognize that they need help and request it, or an emergency or sudden illness will make it clear. Others may not want to cause worry or admit they’re struggling.

If you become aware of the signs that a loved one needs help, you will be better prepared to provide support for their safety and well-being.

Physical activity is essential for healthy aging, and it can be beneficial at any stage of life. Some potential benefits are immediate, such as reduced feelings of anxiety, reduced blood pressure, and improved sleep. Others are long term and require consistent physical activity over time, such as reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers.

Arthritis can affect people at any age, though it becomes more common as people get older. There are different types of arthritis, and some can develop earlier in life:

***Juvenile arthritis can affect children, typically under the age of 16.
***Osteoarthritis, the most common form, usually affects people over the age of 50, but it can develop earlier, especially in those with joint injuries or excessive joint stress.
***Rheumatoid arthritis can develop at any age, but it often begins between the ages of 30 and 60.
***Gout and psoriatic arthritis can also affect younger individuals, typically starting in middle adulthood.

In general, while arthritis is more prevalent in older adults, it is not exclusively an age-related condition and can affect individuals at various life stages.

Can canned fruit be healthy for you?

Yes, canned fruit can be a healthy option, but it depends on how it's prepared. Here are some factors to consider:

Nutrient Content: Canned fruit retains many of the vitamins and minerals found in fresh fruit, particularly when it is canned shortly after harvest. However, some nutrients, like vitamin C, can decrease during the canning process.

Sugar Content: One of the main concerns with canned fruit is added sugar. If the fruit is packed in heavy syrup, it can significantly increase the calorie and sugar content. For a healthier option, look for fruit canned in its own juice or water, which has much less added sugar.

Fiber: Like fresh fruit, canned fruit contains dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health. However, fruits that are peeled before canning may have less fiber than whole fruits.

Preservatives and Sodium: Some canned fruits may contain added preservatives or sodium. It’s always a good idea to read the label to check for unnecessary additives.

In summary, canned fruit can be a nutritious option if you choose varieties without added sugar or preservatives. It’s a convenient way to enjoy fruit year-round, especially when fresh options are not available. 🍏🍎🍐🍊🍍

How do you deal with loneliness?

**Volunteering for an organization that supports older people is a key way of helping a lonely or socially isolated older person. But a simple friendly chat or phone call can make all the difference, too. 😍 Evidence suggests giving your time in this way could be as valuable to you as the person you support. 🌺
