A number of issues have a bearing on older adults and their nutrition. For instance, many seniors take multiple medicines, which increase the possibility for side effects such as decreased or increased appetite. At times, mouth pain or tooth loss makes eating stressful. Economic hardship is another factor, regrettably coercing some seniors to pick between their much-needed medications or healthy food. Meanwhile, seniors who live alone more often than not are unable to pay proper attention to their diet.
Health problems can be due to both overeating and abstention from food.
Therefore the diet has to be balanced containing essential nutrients to prevent the diseases and to check the early damage to the tissues. Regular moderate exercise also helps maintain healthy life of a senior. Osteoporosis Diet should be adjusted to the particular body needs. Avoid rough fibres and bran as it may not be digestible. One solution is breakfast cereals fortified with B12 or a supplement.
