Good nutrition is critical for seniors to maintain energy, strength, and overall health:
Supports immunity: Vitamins C and D and minerals like zinc help prevent illness and improve recovery time.
Maintains muscles and bones: Adequate protein, calcium, and vitamin D prevent muscle loss and bone fragility, reducing fall risk.
Promotes heart and brain health: Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber support cardiovascular and cognitive function.
Boosts energy and mood: Balanced meals with complex carbs, healthy fats, and protein stabilize blood sugar and improve mental well-being.
Aids digestion: Fiber-rich foods promote regular bowel movements and support overall digestive health.
At Comfort Keepers Castle Rock, our caregivers assist with meal preparation, planning, and adoption of healthy eating habits to help seniors maintain independence and thrive.
