All seniors should be mindful of nutrients and a balanced diet, as well as sodium and fluid intake. Nutrient-dense foods are a good way to go – high in vitamins and minerals, but low in calories and fat, like fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy, lean meats, nuts, and eggs. Protein is not only available from meat, fish, and dairy, but also through nuts, beans, lentils, and quinoa. Legumes, flaxseed, whole grains, oats, fruits, and vegetables are also a great source of fibre, which promotes colon health. Lastly, drink plenty of fluids and reduce sodium intake.
