This reliable, national nutrition resource has evolved with scientific research, so a lot has changed since it was launched in 1942. We now know that smart food choices help seniors stay energized while helping reduce bone and muscle loss, heart disease and type-2 diabetes, so try some of these nutrition tips today.  \n\\#1: Savour homemade foods  \nAn interesting twist in the January 2019 Food Guide is the focus on eating slowly and mindfully, cooking more and consuming fewer processed foods that are often high in unhealthy sodium, saturated fatsand sugar. So, enjoy some homemade soup instead of fast-food sandwiches, for instance.  \n\\#2: Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables  \nInstead of counting your daily servings, Health Canada recommends a balanced plate approach—so half of each meal should be vegetables and fruit. Add banana and mango to breakfast, cucumbers to snacks, roasted cauliflower and sweet potato to dinner and try new vegetable-forward recipes.  \n\\#3: Buy the right whole grain products A quarter of your balanced plate should consist of good whole grains. Swap the chocolate chip muffin for blueberry bran, make sure that your bread has “whole grain” rather than “enriched flour”at the top of the ingredients list and try quinoa, whole grain pasta or brown rice instead of white pasta and rice. It’s worth the switch: the fibre in whole grains can reduce your risk of colon cancer, type-2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.  \n\\#4: Choose lean or plant-based proteins Do your heart a favour and fill the final quarter of your balanced plate with healthy proteins such as nuts and seeds, beans, lentils, peas, eggs, fish and shellfish, lower-fat dairy and soy products. Eating a black bean burrito, scrambled eggs or grilled chicken or salmon in lieu of fried chicken or battered fish means you’ll consume fewer harmful saturated fats.  \n\\#5: Drink more water  \nYour sense of thirst can decline a","cbCainoiNlpIL547","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainoiNlpIL547","pdf",2130873,15,"English","# Introduction\n## Eating well with Canada’s Food Guide: 7 tips for seniors\n## Checklist: Essential nutrients for healthy aging\n## 3 Nutrient-rich recipes from a top chef\n## How to eat right without sacrificing taste\n## Tasty tricks for managing health conditions\n## Eating healthy despite a low appetite\n## Discover exceptional dining at Amica","[{\"question\":\"What are the 7 tips for seniors in Canada’s Food Guide section?\",\"answer\":\"The guide recommends savouring homemade foods, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, choosing whole grains, selecting lean or plant-based proteins, drinking more water, eating together or using meal support, and trying new recipes to cover needed vitamins and minerals.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is mindful eating and reducing processed foods emphasized?\",\"answer\":\"The guide notes that the updated Food Guide highlights eating slowly and mindfully, cooking more, and consuming fewer processed foods that are often high in sodium, saturated fats, and sugar.\"},{\"question\":\"What nutrients are highlighted as essential for healthy aging?\",\"answer\":\"The checklist stresses selecting foods rich in vitamins and minerals seniors need most and focuses on nutrients particularly crucial to help reduce risks such as osteoporosis and heart disease.\"}]","Amica White Paper - Healthy Eating for Seniors - Dietary Guide | PDF",1790521996,38]
