For the Later Years Neglecting proper 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 can lead to diabetes and heart disease.
Malnutrition increases the risk for contracting a number of medical conditions.
It is important NOT to neglect your nutrition. Make healthy food choices. This means you may need to have more highly seasoned food in order to be able to enjoy it. There are many spices that will not upset your digestion but will add flavor, such as lemon juice or lemon pepper. Ask your healthcare provider for your ideal body weight and try to stay near that ideal weight by exercising and eating nutritious foods.
