Did you know? At least one in three of the millions of older adults admitted to the hospital every year is malnourished upon admission. Malnutrition is a growing problem among older Americans.
 
The economic impact of malnutrition is HUGE. It is estimated that disease-associated malnutrition costs the U.S. $157 billion every year. Other research points to a 300 percent increase in healthcare costs that can be attributed to poor nutrition status.
 
Eating healthy for older adults can be a challenge, but here are some tips to stay healthy.
 
The National Healthy Eating Guidelines for Older Adults Are…
  • Eat calcium rich foods
  • Use low fat or fat free dairy
  • Increase intake of fruits, vegetables and whole grains
  • Make sure there is adequate nutritional intake
  • Eat more nutrient dense foods vs. calorie dense foods
  • Avoid excess salt, sugar, fat & alcohol
  • Ensure proper fluid intake
  • Maintain a healthy body weight and physical activity as able
 
When shopping at the grocery store, look for foods that fit these requirements. It’s easier to eat healthy when you don’t have unhealthy options around. Healthy eating is part of all we do here at Marin Luther Campus. In addition to our transitional care and assisted living apartments, our adult day clubs and stay by the day programs include healthy meals. Contact us to learn more.
 
Martin Luther Campus is part of the Ebenezer family of Lutheran Senior Care Communities. We provide transitional care and assisted living apartments for seniors in Bloomington. We also have adult day clubs and memory care programs for seniors living at home. We’re located at 1401 East 100th St. Bloomington, MN. Are you interested in transitioning to assisted living or do you have a loved one that
needs assisted living? Call us at 952.888.7751.
