6 Nutritious Gluten-Free Foods for Older Adults
2

• Seniors are at risk of developing gluten
  intolerance, experiencing food sensitivities, or
  being diagnosed with celiac disease. Going
  gluten-free can be challenging for older adults
  who are used to eating wheat products. Here are 6
  healthy foods seniors can turn to when embarking
  on a gluten-free diet.

1. Quinoa

• Quinoa is a type of gluten-free grain that
  contains more fiber than several whole-grain
  products, with as much as 27 grams per cup. To
  turn quinoa into a healthy, gluten-free
  breakfast, seniors can mix it with bananas,
  strawberries, almonds, and a dash of cinnamon.
  This tasty and healthy breakfast option may soon
  replace oatmeal as a favorite meal.
• Switching to nutritious gluten-free meals is one
  of the many ways older adults can boost their
  health and wellbeing. Seniors who want to remain
  healthy as they age can benefit in a variety of
  ways when they receive professional home care.
  Bethlehem, PA, Home Care Assistance is here to
  help your loved one accomplish daily tasks,
  prevent illness, and focus on living a healthier
  and more fulfilling life.

2. Seafood

• When it comes to proteins, seniors should stick
  to lean options like seafood. Fish that are high
  in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon and mackerel,
  are especially good for seniors because they
  boost cognitive health and alleviate symptoms of
  arthritis. Grilled salmon with a few gluten-free
  sides like roasted vegetables and rice is an
  excellent dinner option for seniors.

3. Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

• Fruits and vegetables are naturally gluten-free.
  However, packaged fruit sometimes contains
  wheat-based preservatives. Seniors should look
  out for labels that have hydrolyzed wheat
  protein or modified food starch on the
  ingredients list. To get the many benefits of
  fresh produce, seniors can make fruit salad out
  of fiber-filled fruits. Apples, strawberries,
  oranges, raspberries, and mango are high in
  fiber. For an added dose of bone-strengthening
  calcium, mix these fruits with some gluten-free
  yogurt.

4. Sweet Potatoes

• Seniors should try to add a healthy dose of sweet
  potatoes to their diets because they contain
  dietary fiber, vitamins A, B1, and C, potassium,
  and niacin. Older adults with a sweet tooth might
  enjoy a gluten-free sweet potato casserole. 
• Aging adults who need help preparing nutritious
  meals can benefit from professional in-home care.
  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 Home
  Care Assistance, a leading provider of live-in
  and respite care. Bethlehem seniors can maintain
  their independence while living at home with the
  help of our reliable respite caregivers.

5. Trail Mix

• Many seniors are used to eating gluten-rich
  snacks like pretzels, chips, and cookies. To
  avoid the temptation, they should swap their old
  favorites for tasty gluten-free snacks like trail
  mix. A mixture of almonds, dark chocolate, and
  dried apricots is the perfect midday snack that
  is filled with antioxidants and protein.

6. Tacos with Corn Tortillas

• For seniors who enjoy Mexican food, corn
  tortillas are an excellent substitute for
  gluten-rich meals, and they can be loaded with
  all any toppings of choice. For healthy options,
  go for tacos with grilled chicken, vegetables,
  and fresh salsa.
• Older adults often need help preparing nutritious
  meals, making healthy lifestyle choices, and
  managing everyday activities. Some seniors only
  require help with a few daily tasks so they can
  maintain their independence. However, those
  living with serious illnesses may need more
  extensive assistance. Luckily, there is
  professional live-in care Bethlehem, PA, seniors
  can rely on. Home can be a safer and more
  comfortable place for your loved one to live with
  the help of an expertly trained and dedicated
  live-in caregiver. If you want to hire a

  loved one, call Home Care Assistance at
