For those Elderly and Senior individuals who have difficulty eating a full meal, their daily eating schedule may benefit from scheduling main meals around snacks throughout the day. What snacks are nutritious for Elderly individuals? Some foods such as certain cheeses, meats, and vegetables need to be avoided because they carry bacteria that may be harmful and cause food poisoning in your loved one.
This article titled Snacks for Elderly talks about why snacking is important for some Elders and provides a list of naturally healthy snacks including veggies, fruits, nuts, popcorn, sandwiches, whole wheat crackers, granola bars, high fiber cereal, and more. Because some Elders don’t exercise as much because of chronic illnesses such as Arthritis, staying hydrated and eating plenty of fiber is crucial to minimizing bowel problems.
