Aging Well

Good food choices can help you stay strong and healthy as you age. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can help you to prevent or manage chronic conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

Specialized nutritionist services include...

• Medical Nutrition Therapy for managing health conditions
• meal planning if you are not able to shop for or prepare traditional meals
• planning simple healthy meals for one or two people

With nearly 20 years of experience working with older persons in long term care facilities, I am also available for Consultant dietitian services.

Aging Well Tip

Eat well and stay strong! One of the biggest challenges in aging is to maintain muscle mass. This is important for mobility and balance – keys to staying independent! Staying strong means eating enough calories to maintain your usual weight (or to lose gradually if you are overweight), including good sources of lean protein (chicken, fish, legumes, lean cuts of beef and pork, and/or low fat dairy products), and including strength training (weights) in
your fitness routine.
