Appetite and Nutrition in Older Adults
Appetite changes are a common part of aging and may affect both the quantity and variety of foods seniors choose to eat.
Taste and smell changes, dental concerns, and certain medical conditions can make eating less appealing. Reduced activity levels and social changes may also influence hunger cues and mealtime habits.
Paying attention to nutrition remains important for maintaining muscle strength, immune health, and quality of life.
Comfort Keepers Littleton can support older adults by helping with meal planning, grocery assistance, and preparing foods that match personal preferences and dietary needs.
