Choosing nutrient-rich, lower-calorie foods may help you prevent or manage chronic health conditions. It can also help you feel stronger and energized, allowing you to enjoy the golden years of your life. Signs of malnutrition in older adults include frequent falls, frequent bone brakes or fractures, unintentional weight loss, and depression. They also include delayed wound healing, chronic digestive upset, extreme hair loss, brittle nails, and rapid cognitive decline. Giving your body the right nutrients and maintaining a healthy weight can help you stay active and independent. You'll also spend less time and money at the doctor. This is especially true if you have a chronic condition, such as diabetes or heart disease. The definition of healthy eating does change a little as you age. For example, as you grow older, your metabolism slows down, so you need fewer calories than before. Your body also needs more of certain nutrients. That means it's more important than ever to choose foods that give you the best nutritional value.
