Summary
Episode 26 -
On this episode we are going to discuss a topic that everyone can relate to and that’s nutrition and hydration. This topic is especially important for seniors. The importance of eating healthy, drinking enough water, and living a healthy lifestyle isn’t something that is done periodically or on certain days, but everyday.
This is especially true for seniors. The food that they eat has an impact on their bodies and can affect their quality of life and their longevity. The National Institute of Health reports that those who have a balanced diet in their Golden Years’ experience a reduced risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, osteoporosis, and even certain types of cancer and recent studies have even suggested that good eating habits can help prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
