Why Healthy Eating Can Be Challenging for Your Aging Loved One

Lack of mobility

As seniors age, they may experience a loss of mobility and strength. This can make everyday tasks like grocery shopping or cooking difficult. As a result, many turn to frozen meals or fast food for convenience. However, these options are often unhealthy and need more essential nutrients. 

The ease of frozen meals and fast food

Seniors without grocery store access may opt for frozen meals or fast food. These options are cheap and easy but often contain too much salt and preservatives. These processed foods do not provide the necessary nutrients for your loved one's health.

Lack of appetite due to medication or mental health

Seniors may not feel hungry due to medication or mental health issues like loneliness or depression. Cooking for one or two people may seem like too much effort, leading them to skip meals.
