💛 Caregivers — don’t forget about YOU.
You give so much every day. And while you’re caring for the people you love, your own needs still matter — a lot.

Here are a few simple ways to make self-care a real part of your routine:
✨ Take 10 minutes to breathe, stretch, or step outside
✨ Say “yes” when someone offers help
✨ Keep a short list of things that refill your energy — music, reading, a treat, a nap
✨ Stay connected with people who understand what you’re going through

Fueling up with protein is key for seniors to maintain muscle mass and energy, but eggs aren't the only option! 🍳 Let's explore some fantastic, easy-to-digest protein alternatives:

💪 Beyond the Shell: Top Protein Picks for Seniors
1. Dairy Powerhouses (Easy on the tummy!)

Greek Yogurt: Packed with protein and often contains beneficial probiotics. Choose plain to control sugar, and add fruit or a drizzle of honey.

Cottage Cheese: Versatile and rich in protein. Mix it with fruit, herbs, or use it as a creamy base for toast.

Milk: A simple glass of milk provides a good protein boost, plus calcium and Vitamin D for bone health.

2. Lean Meats & Fish (Great for main meals!)

Poultry: Skinless chicken or turkey breast are lean, high-quality sources.

Fish (especially Salmon & Tuna): Excellent protein plus heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. Look for canned light tuna or fully cooked, easy-to-flake salmon.

Lean Beef or Pork: Choose leaner cuts like sirloin or pork loin.

3. Plant-Based Heroes (Fiber-rich and filling!)

Beans and Lentils: Black beans, chickpeas, and lentils are affordable, high in protein and fiber. Try them in soups, stews, or even blended into dips like hummus.

Tofu & Tempeh: Soy-based proteins that are complete, meaning they contain all essential amino acids. Tofu can be scrambled or baked, and tempeh is great sliced and marinated.

Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and their butters (peanut butter, almond butter) are convenient for snacking and adding to oatmeal or smoothies.

Quick Tip for Every Meal:
Try to include a protein source at every meal and snack to help your body use it efficiently throughout the day!
