Healthy<\/strong><\/em> eating and nutrition for people over 50 is
\ngreatly impacted by several factors, one of them
\nbeing a change in body composition. During the
\nlater years in life, the body will lose bone and
\nmuscle and gain fat because the hormones aren’t
\nvery active anymore.
\nThere are many factors which hinder a
\nperson’s health as they get older. The information below will help
\nyou to lead a healthy life – no matter how old you
\nmay be.<\/p>\n

Water<\/h2>\n

Water in the body decreases with age, so many older
\nfolks will become dehydrated very easily. Sometimes
\nthey won’t feel thirsty, while other times it’s
\ntoo much work to pour a glass a water. With this
\nin mind, it’s recommended that they drink at least
\n1 ounce of water for every 2.2 pounds of weight.<\/p>\n

Protein<\/h2>\n

At this stage in life, protein is very important.
\nProtein is needed to support a healthy immune
\nsystem and prevent the wasting of muscle. Since
\nenergy needs are less, older folks should eat high
\nquality protein such as eggs, lean meats, poulty,
\nand fish.<\/p>\n

Carbs and fiber<\/h2>\n

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for
\nthe entire body. You can find carbs in bread,
\ncereals, pasta, and other grain products. A diet
\nthat’s high in fiber and water will help to
\nprevent constipation as well.<\/p>\n

Fat<\/h2>\n

Fat intake when your older should be limited, not
\neliminated. You can limit fat by choosing lean meats,
\nlow fat dairy products, and food preperation
\nmethods that don’t include frying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
