Why Nutrition Matters in Old Age
As we age, our body needs change. Good nutrition helps elderly individuals maintain strength, improve immunity, support digestion, and stay active and alert. At Elderlove Nursing Home, we emphasize proper nutrition as part of holistic elderly care — because what our residents eat directly affects how they feel and function every day.
Top 5 Elderly Nutrition Tips
1. Eat a Balanced Plate – Include fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy.
2. Watch Portions – Eat moderate amounts and mix up the food types.
3. Focus on Nutrients – Protein, calcium, vitamin D, iron, fiber, and vitamin B are important.
4. Cut Down on Sugar, Salt, and Fats – Choose fresh and less processed options.
5. Stay Hydrated – Aim for 6–8 glasses of fluid daily.
