🤔It is a common misconception that seniors require less sleep. In fact, they need about the same amount of sleep as all adults: 7-9 hours each night.

😴Sleep problems can interfere with daily activities and reduce quality of life.

Here are 8 steps to cultivating a good habit with senior's diet:

1. Adequate Protein Intake: Inadequate protein intake increases skin fragility, decreases immune function, poorer healing and longer recuperation from illness.

2. Reduce salt and sugar intake: Too much salt intake results in health complications such as hypertension, heart disease and stroke. Excessive sugar intake will be converted into fats, leading to problems such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity.

3. With home-cooked food we can encourage seniors with healthy and balanced food choices, either by reducing the portion size of a less healthy diet or by improving the quality of their diet.

4. Having our food with sauce on the side helps control how much sauce goes on the food.

5. Healthier options food: Soupy foods tend to be lower in calories.

6. Eat a balanced diet that is nutrient enriched. Non processed foods are richer in nutrients. While processed food like white rice and white bread have loss of valuable nutrients.

7. Hydration with electrolytes: When we are low on electrolytes, our body will have difficulties staying hydrated even if we drink adequate water.

There is no hard and fast rule, we need to eat a wide variety of foods in the right amounts to meet our nutritional needs. Eating healthier does not have to be complicated, make up the missing food groups in your next meal!
