o Prevention of Diseases It is but natural and inevitable that as we age, we become more susceptible to chronic diseases but this can be modified and we can always lower the risk of developing diseases by going for heart-healthy diet. Making sure that the nutritional needs are met and that proper exercise is imposed to the elderly people can make a big difference in preventing diseases.
o For bone and joint health We are aware that as we get older, our bones become more weak and brittle which is why we become prone to developing osteoporosisâ??most especially women. In order to avoid this, having a calcium and vitamin D-rich diet is recommended. Another common health problem that we all may have to deal with as we get older is arthritis and in order to avoid this, a diet that is low in fat and cholesterol is advised.
o To promote a healthy and active lifestyle Having an active lifestyle all starts with having a healthy and balanced diet. Having a healthy diet gives a person the ample amount of energy needed to perform daily activities. If an elderly feeds on a diet that does not have enough calories and eats foods that is poor in nutritional content, then an active lifestyle is something that will be hard to live by. Foods that are rich in nutrients, fruits, vegetables and whole grains fight off feelings of tiredness and boosts metabolism.
o To ward off depression With the many changes occurring in the body as well as the other aspects happening in a person's life as aging happens, things can get confusing and anxious for them. This can be one of the possible reasons why most elderly people are depressed. But having a healthy diet can change things around because with the right diet, energy levels are high, exercise can be done properly, they can sleep well and good things follow.
