How nutrition is important for seniors?

Good nutrition is important to ensure healthier living for seniors who tend to be at elevated risk of mental problems and chronic illnesses. A well-balanced diet is key to reducing the loss of bone strength that comes with aging for example, while certain nutrients can help improve muscle strength and reduce atrophy to improve balance. With a strategic nutrition plan in place, a senior loved one is less likely to fall ill and enjoys high energy levels that enable them to keep active and pursue their hobbies and happiness. Moreover, good nutrition has been shown to increase one’s life span by up to 10 years.
