Nutrition is essential for seniors to maintain strength, cognitive health, and overall well-being:
Supports immunity: Adequate intake of vitamins C and D and minerals like zinc enhances resistance to illness.
Maintains muscles and bones: Protein, calcium, and vitamin D prevent muscle loss and bone weakness, reducing fall risk.
Promotes heart and brain health: Omega-3s, antioxidants, and fiber protect cognitive and cardiovascular function.
Boosts energy and mood: Balanced meals stabilize blood sugar and prevent fatigue and mood fluctuations.
Supports digestive health: Fiber-rich foods aid regular digestion, preventing discomfort and promoting overall wellness.
At Comfort Keepers Lakewood, our caregivers help seniors plan and prepare nutrient-rich meals, supporting independence, energy, and long-term health.
