Healthy eating is crucial to healthy aging! A nutritious diet can support strong muscles and bones and lower the risk of certain health conditions.
If your loved one is looking to eat healthier in the new year, you can help by trying these tips:
- Discuss favorite recipes and see if you can make them healthier — like substituting olive oil for butter.
- When cooking together, cook extra and save leftovers so they have individual servings throughout the week.
- Encourage the person to talk to a doctor about healthy eating and any vitamin or mineral supplements they may need.
