Healthy Eating For Seniors
 
Healthy Eating for Seniors is a new handbook on nutrition for older adults. It has been developed to be an interesting, informative and useful resource for seniors age 65 and over from across British Columbia and Canada.
 
It includes information about what to pay attention to when it comes to food and supplements, gives tips on how to eat to prevent or manage common chronic diseases, and provides advice on simple ways to eat with less salt and fat, how to read labels and how to keep a healthy body weight, and many other topics on healthy eating of interest to seniors. Seniors and dietitians from across B.C. provided ideas, recipes, knowledge and stories.
 
Nutrition surveys find that seniors would benefit from eating more vegetables and fruits, more protein and less fat, and from engaging in moderate activity more often. Healthy Eating for Seniors provides information that will help seniors make decisions about healthy eating so they can stay as active and independent as possible.
