Seniors can benefit immensely from healthy food, but they’re just as prone to making poor choices at the grocery store as the rest of us. Cake with chocolate frosting just looks so tempting! The table below reveals how often seniors choose healthy food options according to a national survey taken by the AARP.

ChartJsPromise().then(function(){ Chart.defaults.font.family = $(".chartjs_wrapper canvas").css("font-family"); var ctx = document.getElementById('myChart4').getContext('2d');var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {"type": "pie","data": {"labels": ['Buy Nutritious Food All the Time','Buy Nutritious Food Sometimes','But Nutritious Food Once in a While','Never Buy Nutritious Food'],datasets: [{label: '',"data": [61,21,11,3],backgroundColor: ["#05182E", "#34546B", "#5287A3", "#72C8F1"],hoverOffset: 4}]},"options": {responsive: true,"plugins": {tooltip:{callbacks:{label:function(context){return context.dataset.label + ': ' + context.dataset.data[context.dataIndex]}}},"title": {"display": true,"font": {"size": 16},"text": ""}}}});});
It’s good news that seniors generally opt for healthy food at least most of the time, but 35% of respondents only do so “sometimes” or less. A great meal delivery service will ensure that your loved one has consistent access to nutritious foods even if they may not choose them themselves.
