Health Risks of Poor Nutrition in Seniors

11/22/2019 By heritagevillage

Healthy foods including salmon, spinach, broccoli, berries, and nuts arranged on a table.
A selection of nutrient-dense foods such as salmon, leafy greens, broccoli, berries, nuts, and seeds.

It’s an age-old adage, “you are what you eat.” And while food does contain the building blocks our bodies need to heal and fuel themselves, when we’re younger, we have a little more leeway in what we put on our plate. But as we age, what we don’t eat can start to affect our overall health and wellness. Our later years are also when a lifetime of bad eating habits and the effects of poor nutrition and diet can start to catch up with us. In fact, many of the diseases that affect senior health are the result of dietary factors, which can then be compounded by changes that naturally occur as we age.
