Have more liquids in your diet: As we age, we can have less of a sense of thirst. Drink water throughout the day or other liquids to maintain healthy hydration.
2. Minimize your salt intake: People of any age should avoid excess salt, but seniors especially should focus on consuming less. Don’t season your food with salt, and instead, use herbs and other salt-free spices to add flavor to your meals.
3. Reduce sugar intake: Just as you should consume less salt, do the same with sugar. Naturally sweet foods, like fruits, are fine to satisfy your sweet tooth, but other foods, like baked goods and desserts, have added refined sugar that isn’t healthy for anyone.
