Not getting enough healthy food can lead to weight loss, fatigue, weak muscles and bones, depression, malnutrition, anemia, and a weakened immune system. If your senior loved one isn&#8217;t eating well, there may be a good reason. However, you can correct the situation.\u00a0Here are a few common reasons aging adults don\u2019t follow healthy diets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Changes in Taste<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Between the ages of 40 and 60, people begin to lose their taste buds. After age 70, they also often lose their sense of smell, which can cause changes in taste. Changes in the sense of taste aren\u2019t necessarily a bad thing, but encouraging a healthy diet can prove difficult when the foods your loved one has enjoyed all his or her life aren&#8217;t as appealing as they once were.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If changes in taste are causing your loved one to avoid a healthy diet, encourage him or her to try some new dishes. Experiment with new herbs and spices, and try bringing over dishes you&#8217;ve made for a taste test. Keep in mind certain medications may also cause a change in taste or appetite, so talk to a doctor if you suspect this is the case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your senior loved one has been diagnosed with a serious condition and needs help with tasks like meal prep, transportation, bathing, and grooming, reach out to Assisting Hands Home Care, a leading provider of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">senior home care<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> families can trust. We also offer comprehensive care for seniors with <a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/97\/california\/danapoint\/services\/alzheimers-and-dementia-care\/\">dementia<\/a>, Alzheimer\u2019s, and Parkinson\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Dentures &amp; Other Oral Health Issues<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Issues such as poorly fitting dentures or toothaches may affect a senior\u2019s ability to follow a healthy diet. No one wants to eat crunchy fruits and vegetables with a sore mouth. If you notice your loved one avoiding foods that require chewing, talk to him or her about it. Your loved one may need extra encouragement to seek help from a dentist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Depression &amp; Isolation<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many issues seniors have with food come down to their emotional health. For example, if your loved one has recently lost a spouse, he or she may feel as if there\u2019s no reason to continue cooking or enjoying healthy meals for one. If your loved one feels isolated at home and no longer enjoys a social life, it may lead to depression. Lack of appetite is a common symptom of depression.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your loved one lives alone, see to it that he or she has someone to share meals with as often as possible. Invite your loved one to your house, arrange lunch dates, or go to his or her home and cook together. Make healthy eating a family affair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Lack of Mobility<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For some seniors, not having healthy food is all about access. If your loved one no longer drives, he or she may not be able to get to the store often enough. Instead of burdening you and other friends and family for transportation, your parent may just rely on whatever food is in the house or completely avoid meals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your loved one doesn&#8217;t drive or has mobility issues, keep an eye on his or her pantry and refrigerator. If you notice they look bare, take your loved one to the store. If that&#8217;s not possible, look into a grocery delivery service or consider hiring a professional caregiver to provide transportation. You can also have your loved one make a list, and you or another relative can do the shopping each week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seniors who need help switching over to healthy meals should consider professional in-home care.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> In <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dana Point, at-home care<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> providers<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">can benefit aging adults in a variety of ways. From cooking nutritious meals to offering timely medication reminders, the dedicated caregivers at Assisting Hands Home Care are available to help your elderly loved one 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Finances<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seniors worry about many things, and money is often at the top of the list. Most seniors are retired or live on fixed incomes, which means they often cut corners where they can, and the supermarket may be one of the places where they try to save. It&#8217;s much cheaper to buy junk food or no food at all than it is to buy healthy food. If this sounds familiar, help your loved one come up with a grocery budget.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your parent doesn\u2019t have the finances necessary to buy healthy food, look into programs in your community that provide meals and groceries to seniors in need. When you cook, you can also share meals with your loved one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many seniors find it difficult to prepare nutritious meals.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> If your aging loved one needs occasional help with bathing, grooming, cooking, or other basic household tasks, or if you need time to attend to important personal matters, reach out to Assisting Hands\u00ae Dana Point, a leading provider of <a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/97\/hourly-home-care\/\">hourly home care<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dana Point seniors can maintain their independence while living at home with the help of our reliable caregivers.
