Enjoy Your Meals

Cooking and eating often become harder for people as they age. Some find it hard to shop for food and then cook it. Others find that when they are alone, they eat quickly or rely on unhealthy prepared foods. If you live alone or have trouble getting around, you may want to look for ways to share meals with others and get help with making your meals. Here are few ideas to help you eat well:

• Invite friends, neighbors or family to join you for meals.
• Dine out with friends and family.
• Attend meal events at your local senior center or place of worship.
• Try new foods by buying prepared foods at markets and health stores.
• Contact your local meals-on-wheels program if you can’t make your own meals or get out to shop.
