Good nutrition helps maintain your energy level and plays a critical role in enhancing quality of life. When you don't feel like eating, a lot of food can be overwhelming. Keep portions small, but nearby. Consider high-calorie choices. To keep up your strength, eat foods like tuna or egg salad, pudding, ice cream, and peanut butter and crackers, which are nutritious energy boosters.
Dehydration is a serious condition.
As we age, our sense of thirst is reduced, so we need to make a conscious effort to drink water. Keep fluids handy and use a straw to make it easy to take sips. Sports drinks, which replace lost electrolytes, may also be an option. Choose finger foods. Foods that can be consumed out of your hand are easy to eat.
