Eating is nourishment, and it can be entertainment.
Humans require a steady balanced diet to maintain the immune system and organs, to think clearly, and to guard against the threat of illness and disease. For example, if a person who generally weighs 140 pounds, gets on the scales and finds a change of more than 14 pounds, an appointment with the physician is in order. Nurse practitioner and researcher, Wanda Bonnel, Ph.D. has developed strategies to promote healthy eating among older adults, especially among women. Dr. Bonnel wanted to hear from the women themselves about the challenges of managing their meals. The women explained that many types of everyday changes affected their ability to prepare well-rounded meals.
