Nutrition plays a crucial role in promoting health and well-being among senior citizens. As individuals age, their nutritional needs may change, and certain considerations become important. Here are key aspects of nutrition management for senior citizens:

1. Balanced Diet:

   • Encourage a well-balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy or dairy alternatives.

2. Adequate Protein Intake:

   • Ensure sufficient protein intake to support muscle mass and prevent muscle loss. Good sources include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, and nuts.

3. Calcium and Vitamin D:

   • Promote bone health by including sources of calcium (e.g., dairy, leafy green vegetables) and ensuring adequate vitamin D through sunlight exposure or supplements.
