Tips & Resources From Where You Can Mitigate All Your Essential Nutritional Needs.

Getting adequate nutrition can be a challenge as you get older. With age, the number of calories you need begins to decline. Every calorie you consume must be packed with nutrition in order to hit the mark.

Here are some tips & resources from where you can mitigate all your essential nutritional needs.

Vit-D/Calcium: Have three servings of calcium-rich foods and beverages each day. This includes fortified cereals and fruit juices, dark green leafy vegetables, canned fish with soft bones, milk and fortified plant beverages.

Vit-B12: Many older adults above 50 do not get enough vitamin B12. Fortified cereal, lean meat and some fish and seafood are sources of vitamin B12.

Fiber: Eat whole-grain breads and cereals, and more beans and peas — along with fruits and vegetables which also provide fiber.

Potassium: Increasing potassium along with reducing sodium (salt) may lower your risk of high blood pressure. Fruits, vegetables and beans are good sources of potassium.

Fats: Not all type of fats are harmful. Low-saturated fats & trans fats are rather needed to reduce the risk of heart diseases. Try having a limited intake of nuts, seeds, olive oil, avocados & fish.
