HEALTHY EATING AS WE AGE

As we get older, we need fewer calories, but our need for nutrients remains the same and even increases in some cases. This makes meal planning important. Here are some tips on eating well:

1. Eat balanced meals from the four food groups, every day
2. Eat less sugar
3. Eat less fat and salt
4. Choose whole grain and fresh fruit and vegetables
