Teenagers
are not the only ones with poor dietary habits. Many elderly
people tend to eat very poorly with little variety. Nutritional
requirements change with age due to the changing hormonal
and metabolic rates. Some of the most important nutrients
are deficient in a senior's diet. The most common deficiencies
are calcium, magnesium and chromium. Calcium slows bone
loss; magnesium is vital for the heart, muscles, bones,
and nerves; and chromium is important for the metabolism
of glucose and lipids.
You
can increase your intake of these vital nutrients simply
by eating properly.
Good
dietary habits will promote good health.
