GOOD NUTRITION
FOR A LIFETIME
BY KATHLEEN NESS
Being a healthy senior is more than
just not being sick or disabled. Being
healthy means feeling good and having
the energy to look forward to
another day. Adapting to the many
changes that come with aging can be
a challenge, but continuing to look
after yourself is an important part of
healthy aging.
A healthy diet can’t prevent problems
that are part of normal aging,
but it can reduce your risk of heart
disease, certain cancers, obesity, diabetes,
and osteoporosis.
Food not only affects one’s
health, but it is also one of life’s greatest
pleasures. Whether enjoyed alone
or with others, food is essential to
maintaining the joy of living.
The following steps will help you
enjoy food through healthy eating.
Step 1. Getting Started
Plan ahead. Revise your favourite
recipes to make smaller portions with
less fat and salt and more fibre. While
you are at it, you may want to consider
putting together a cookbook for
your grandchildren to treasure!
Borrow cookbooks from the library,
All aboard for a one-day rail excursion through the same
rugged wilderness that inspired the Group of Seven.
