St. Ignatius Seniors: Nutrient-dense foods combat calorie needs

As we get older, our energy needs decline. It’s best to focus on nutrient-dense foods to address reduced calorie needs while meeting higher nutrient requirements. Protein helps to maintain muscle mass, calcium and vitamin D for bones, and fiber for digestion. Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. At the same time, stay well hydrated and reduce added sugars and salt.
