Like the old saying goes, you are what you eat. And seniors are no exception! When it comes to keeping your loved one happy and healthy, one of the biggest ways you can support them is by helping them incorporate delicious, nutrient-dense meals into their routine. It’s especially important for those experiencing memory challenges, as their diet can impact mood, energy levels and even brain function!
At Heritage Point Memory Care and Transitional Assisted Living, we understand how important a nutritious diet is. That is why we provide our residents with a healthy diet for overall healthy living! Our expert chefs incorporate ingredients from the MIND diet (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) which emphasizes low processed, whole foods. And with summer produce filling grocery store shelves, our team has created a guide to the benefits of a healthy diet along with tips on how to incorporate nutrients into your loved one’s everyday meals.
We all know that we are “supposed” to eat a healthy diet. But here are three concrete reasons why it is important for you and your loved one to focus on a nutritious, thoughtful diet this summer:
We are told all our lives that a healthy diet and exercise are key to a healthy lifestyle, and it is true! That is why making sure that your loved one is eating a well-balanced diet, complete with all of the essential nutrients, is a top priority here at Heritage Point. Our chef takes pride in incorporating these healthy ingredients into delicious meals that all of our residents can enjoy. Join us for a meal to see for yourself!
