Neglecting your nutrition is one of the most common health problems in older adults. Eating too many high-fat foods and not exercising is a combination that leads to diabetes and heart disease in many older adults.
Malnutrition opens the door to a number of medical conditions.
It is important not to neglect your nutrition. Cut down on high-fat foods. Consider taking a daily vitamin and mineral supplement as dietary insurance. Avoid too much salt. Keep plenty of easily prepared nutritious foods handy to snack on.
