Healthy eating changes as you age. According to the National Council on Aging, the body’s metabolism slows down as one grows older. The body now needs fewer calories and more of certain nutrients. If you have a chronic condition such as diabetes or heart disease, you would need to strictly maintain your weight and consume foods of the best nutritional value.
This would mean more time is spent on planning and preparing your meals – no easy task especially if you are sick or disabled.
You can still stay healthy and enjoy home cooking by hiring a professional such as a food delivery service or a caregiver from our homecare agency in Connecticut.
The Institute of Aging sites the following benefits to hiring a professional to do your home cooking:
- Increased nutrition
Freshly prepared meals made with whole food ingredients contain more vitamins and minerals. - Tailored meals
Meals will be tailored to your preferences and dietary needs to ensure you enjoy your meals. - Weight maintenance
Unhealthy, processed meals are replaced with nutrient-rich fresh meals to ensure your weight is maintained whether you need to lose or gain weight. - More time for you
Instead of worrying about food and your health, you can leave it in the hands of skilled caregivers – giving you more time to spend with your loved ones.
