St. Ignatius Seniors: Choose foods full of nutrients

As we get older, we still require plenty of nutrients but fewer calories. It is important to make good food choices that are full of vitamins and minerals and limited in added sugars, saturated fats and sodium. A variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, protein and dairy are good choices according to the “Healthy Eating for Older Adults” U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Service article.
