They may be diagnosed with various medical conditions, face surgical procedures or simply struggle to age gracefully and independently. One contributing factor in the aging process is diet. With age comes different dietary needs, and following them can help seniors to maintain independence and health for many years to come.<\/p>\n<p>The general dietary guidelines for seniors in Granada Hills continue to include recommendations for a colorful plate filled with fruits, vegetables, healthy grains and lean proteins. In addition, there are some nutrients that can contribute to health and longevity. Granada Hills caregivers should take note of these suggestions and make an effort to incorporate them into their loved ones\u2019 diets.<\/p>\n<h2>Calcium<\/h2>\n<p>Many seniors are prone to falls, hip fractures and osteoporosis that increase their need for calcium. In addition, calcium can help to lower blood pressure which is another health concern that impacts many seniors. The World Health Organization has made recommendations for seniors to consume at least 1200 milligrams of calcium every day. This is the equivalent of approximately four cups of milk. To make getting enough dairy easier, consider other sources including orange juice, cheese, yogurt, leafy greens, fortified cereals and sardines.<\/p>\n<h2>Omega 3 Fatty Acids<\/h2>\n<p>Many people hear the word fat and instantly think that a food is bad for them, but this is not so when foods are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids. This important nutrient helps to reduce inflammation in the body and has proven beneficial in preventing heart disease, some forms of cancer and arthritis. Foods that are rich in Omega 3\u2019s include flaxseed, walnuts, some types of fish and canola oil. Make it a point to provide your loved one with this important nutrient at least twice a week or discuss supplements with a Granada Hills senior healthcare professional.<\/p>\n<h2>Water<\/h2>\n<p>This one might sound simple, but it is something that is lacking in many senior diets. Water is essential for life, and consuming enough of it can help the kidneys and liver to function properly, regulate body temperature, benefit the cardiovascular system and improve oral health. Many seniors suffer from dehydration because they fail to drink enough water. Reasons for this include a fear of loss of bladder control and health conditions including depression or dementia. Granada Hills in home aides and caregivers should make it a point to offer seniors a drink with every meal and encourage sipping on water in between meals to help ensure adequate hydration.<\/p>\n<h2>Reduced Sodium<\/h2>\n<p>Rather than something that benefits Granada Hills seniors when it is added into the diet, sodium is something that often needs to be reduced. A diet that is high in sodium puts seniors at risk for hypertension that, when left unmonitored, can lead to a stroke. Processed, frozen and ready to eat foods are often high in sodium, so one of the easiest ways to reduce it is by preparing home cooked meals. For seniors that are unable to prepare their own meals and without family to help, Granada Hills in home aides can often step in and assist with this task.<\/p>\n<p>Making dietary changes can be especially difficult for seniors, but taking this step is often necessary to preserve health and longevity. If you are struggling to meet your loved one\u2019s dietary needs, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/san-fernando-valley\/home-care\/\">Granada Hills in home care<\/a><\/strong> professionals at Salus Homecare can help.
