Why Is Eating Healthy So Difficult for Seniors?

Strength or mobility loss

As people get older, they often lose strength and become weaker. Many senior people who struggle to move around or are unable to drive no longer have the choice of spending much time in the kitchen, going grocery shopping, or visiting the farmer’s market.

Freezer dinners and the "convenience" of fast food

Many seniors rely on frozen dinners or fast-food restaurants for quick, inexpensive meals because they don't have easy access to a grocery store. On the other hand, these processed foods are often heavy in salt and other artificial preservatives, and they lack the nutrients your loved one needs.

Loss of appetite can be caused by medications or sadness.

Some older adults do not eat. A pharmacological side effect or mental health difficulties such as loneliness or melancholy could cause a loss of appetite. Cooking for one person, or even a few, can be a hassle, so your senior loved one may decide to skip meals entirely.

The good news is that the home care experts at Senior Home Care by Angels Hamilton are here to help. Our companion care specialists will select high-quality items and prepare nutritious meals that your parents would enjoy.
