When caring for seniors, a healthy diet is one of the best ways to improve their quality of life. A wide variety of whole foods is best for everyone.

When dealing with a senior who is very attached to their comfort foods, you need to take into consideration that it is hard to change a long standing habit.

Another issue to consider is how well they are able to chew their foods. This may be something that they don't like to talk about, or it may be a challenge you are well aware of.

Healthy Diet Plans are about what to avoid as much as they are about what to eat. Since whole foods are desired, emphasize whole food and avoid processed foods. You may find that very challenging since many comfort foods may be processed, depleted, sugary and salty foods.

Your senior needs whole, nourishing foods that are NATURALLY sweet and flavorful. Of course they have to be in on the plan if you want to succeed. Do whatever you can to inspire them to make changes that will benefit them.

The term "processed foods" refers to any processing that would make a food less wholesome or harmful. Remember these 10 tips to guide your senior's healthy diet plan.
