eFit for Individuals & Caregivers: Nutrition

As we age, our nutritional needs change. Eating a nutrition-packed diet can help older adults feel their best and stay healthy. Not eating or drinking enough healthy foods to satisfy the body’s nutritional needs can lead to many other health issues such as frailty, depression, confusion, increased risk of falls, and an inability to fight off illness.
