Now that the holidays are over, many of us are focused on keeping our resolutions, such as good nutrition. Eating well is important at any age—but it especially plays a big role in staying healthy as we get older.
As we age, our bodies change. We may need fewer calories, more protein, and foods packed with nutrients. Things like living alone, health issues, medications, or changes in taste can make healthy eating harder—but small choices can make a big difference.
Think colorful fruits and veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and calcium-rich foods. Try to skip the empty-calorie stuff when you can. Eating well helps support energy, strength, and overall well-being—at every stage of life.
