A balanced meal plan for seniors

🇬🇧 English: Nutrition & Balance for Seniors

As we age, caloric needs may decrease slightly, but the need for essential nutrients (vitamins, minerals, proteins) increases to support overall health.

• 50% Vegetables & Fiber (300g): Vital for digestive health and providing protective antioxidants.
• 25% Quality Protein (150g): Essential for maintaining muscle mass and mobility. Focus on easy-to-digest sources like fish, eggs, and poultry.
• 25% Complex Carbohydrates (150g): Provide steady energy for the brain and body, preventing fatigue throughout the day.
• Hydration (Water): Crucial, as the sensation of thirst often diminishes with age. Sip water consistently during the day.
