Many seniors have health needs that render salty, carbohydrate-heavy, and fatty foods off-limits. Did you know that\u00a0<span lang=\"EN-GB\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/healthy-eating-for-seniors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">one in four<\/span><\/a><\/span> older American adults has poor nutrition, putting them at high risk of disease and muscle weakness? Fortunately, there are plenty of nutritious ingredients you can add to seniors\u2019 plates that will leave them feeling strong and healthy. Here are just a few options for healthy Thanksgiving foods:<\/p>\n<h3>Turkey breast<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll be pleased to know that one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seriouseats.com\/classic-thanksgiving-menu\">Thanksgiving\u2019s staple foods<\/a> \u2013 Turkey \u2013 represents a great choice for older adults. Turkey is full of energizing protein and is relatively low in fat. What\u2019s more, it is easy to digest and won\u2019t leave older guests feeling bloated by the end of the meal.<\/p>\n<h3>Healthy gravy<\/h3>\n<p>Lots of prepackaged gravies are full of sugar, salt, and fat. Try to make a homemade version using chicken broth and vegetables.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>Collard greens<\/h3>\n<p>Collard greens are bursting with vitamin A and calcium, meaning they can support the immune system, protect bone density, and promote clear vision.<\/p>\n<h3>Cranberry sauce<\/h3>\n<p>Again, cranberries are a traditional Thanksgiving ingredient guaranteed to get your guests feeling festive. What\u2019s more, they\u2019re full of antioxidants that can reduce inflammation and prevent the development of urinary tract infections. Remember to cook your cranberry sauce from scratch using fresh berries rather than buying a can of premade sauce. Canned sauces often contain lots of processed sugar and unhealthy preservatives.<\/p>\n<h3>Green beans<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4369 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/44\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2021\/11\/green-beans-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/44\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2021\/11\/green-beans-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/44\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2021\/11\/green-beans-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/44\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2021\/11\/green-beans.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>Fresh green beans contain plenty of vitamin B and vitamin C, both of which will boost seniors\u2019 energy levels, promote healthy digestion, and support cell health. They\u2019re also a great source of healthy fiber. To cook your green beans, consider roasting them, steaming them, or tossing them in a fresh bed of salad leaves.<\/p>\n<h3>Spinach salad<\/h3>\n<p>Spinach leaves are amongst the most nutritional kind of salad ingredients. Forget traditional iceberg lettuce \u2013 it doesn\u2019t contain much more than water. Spinach can help to protect cognitive function and tastes delicious with any light salad dressing.<\/p>\n<h3>Whole wheat rolls<\/h3>\n<p>Many people believe all types of bread are bad for seniors. This simply isn\u2019t the case. Wholewheat rolls are brimming with nutritional fiber that will aid digestion and help your older guests maintain a healthy weight.<\/p>\n<h3>Broccoli<\/h3>\n<p>Broccoli is full of calcium, meaning it can help prevent osteoporosis and other painful, age-related conditions. If you\u2019re worried about flavor, add some toasted almonds and a few spoons of grated parmesan to steamed or roasted broccoli.<\/p>\n<h3>Salmon<\/h3>\n<p>If your guests aren\u2019t keen on turkey, salmon represents a super-healthy alternative. Oily fish is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are perfect for supporting cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n<h3>Sweet potatoes<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4370 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/44\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2021\/11\/jumpstory-download20211120-170436-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/44\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2021\/11\/jumpstory-download20211120-170436-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/44\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2021\/11\/jumpstory-download20211120-170436-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/44\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2021\/11\/jumpstory-download20211120-170436-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/44\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2021\/11\/jumpstory-download20211120-170436-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/44\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2021\/11\/jumpstory-download20211120-170436.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>Sweet potatoes are much healthier than regular potatoes. As well as being lower on the glycemic index, sweet potatoes contain more vitamins, including A and C. This means you can eat plenty of sweet potatoes without experiencing a spike in blood sugar \u2013 great news if you have diabetic guests or guests with insulin resistance. To ensure your sweet potatoes are as delicious as possible, we recommend roasting them and adding herbs and spices such as garlic, ginger, rosemary, thyme, cilantro, or clove.<\/p>\n<h3>Pumpkin bread<\/h3>\n<p>Pumpkin bread is perfect for the holiday season and doesn\u2019t contain too much fat or sugar. In fact, wholegrain pumpkin bread is packed with healthy vitamins, fiber, iron, and potassium \u2013 you can\u2019t go wrong!<\/p>\n<h3>Brussels sprouts<\/h3>\n<p>Brussels sprouts are low in calories and contain tons of vitamin K. This vitamin is crucial for regulating the level of calcium in the blood and helping blood to clot. To maximize the taste of your sprouts, try saut\u00e9ing them.<\/p>\n<h3>Fruit salad<\/h3>\n<p>Did you know that a single slice of pecan pie contains over 500 calories? When dessert time comes, treat your seniors to a healthy fruit salad or even a baked apple tart. Virtually all fruits contain healthy vitamins and minerals that will support your loved one\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<h3>Cauliflower rice stuffing<\/h3>\n<p>Thanksgiving doesn\u2019t feel right without stuffing. However, most store-bought stuffing is full of salt and fat, making it an unhealthy choice for the dinner table. Try making your own stuffing with healthy ingredients such as cauliflower rice, celery, kale, and wholegrain bread.<\/p>\n<h3>Start planning today!<\/h3>\n<p>Planning healthy Thanksgiving foods can take time. Start early and remember to encourage your loved ones to get a little exercise when the big day arrives. Even a short walk around the block could help them to work up a <a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/44\/texas\/westaustin\/blog\/healthy-eating-101-3-foods-for-your-gut\/\">healthy appetite<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve been tasked with cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year, you may be wondering what to offer the older members of your family.
