Many Seniors are Malnourished

Wisdom may come with age but getting older has its set of challenges. People are living longer but not necessarily healthier. From diminished eyesight, arthritis, immobility, to cognitive decline, some conditions make it high-risk and unsafe for seniors living on their own. It’s important to map out plans to make the home safer and easier to maneuver, but it’s also critical to incorporate healthy eating options on a regular basis.

Due to physical limitations and/or cognitive issues, many seniors are malnourished. Not eating properly puts seniors in jeopardy; they are at the highest risk of all the population in the United States except for youth. Improving the diet with nutritious foods will provide longer healthier life.

Setting reminders, providing groceries or meal services are helpful, as is checking in on the elderly.

Symptoms of Nutrient Deficiencies:
• Weight loss
• Decreased appetite
• Uninterested in hydrating
• Irritability
• Lack of concentration
• feeling cold
• Loss of muscles and strength
• Prone to illness
• Inability to fight infection
• Depression
• Cognitive decline and confusion

If you are having difficulty meeting your nutritional needs or have symptoms of nutritional deficiencies, adding in protein powders is also an alternative to whole food consumption that will help you meet your nutritional goals. Again, talking to a medical professional about what’s best for you is essential.
