Sticking to a healthy diet can strengthen the
immune system and help seniors prevent a wide
variety of age-related health complications.
Eating well can also boost cognitive abilities
and reduce the risk of many emotional disorders.
Here are six superfoods aging adults should
consider adding to their diets.

1. Eggs

• Fresh eggs are an excellent source of vitamins B6
  and B12, zinc, iron, and copper. The superfood
  also contains essential amino acids, which makes
  it an excellent option for seniors who are
  avoiding beef and other forms of red meat. A
  recent study conducted at the University of North
  Carolina found that eggs might be good for
  cognitive health as well. Egg yolks are full of a
  protein known as choline, which has been linked
  to healthy brain function. 
• Eating nutritious superfoods is one of the many
  ways older adults can boost their health. 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. Almonds

• Osteoporosis is one of the most common causes of
  bone fractures after the age of 65, and the CDC
  claims around 33 million seniors are currently
  living with this condition. In addition to formal
  treatments and medications, seniors who have weak
  bones should also try to consume as much calcium
  as possible. A handful of almonds contains nearly
  200 mg of calcium as well as fiber, manganese,
  and vitamin E.

3. Broccoli Rabe

• As one of the most nutrient-dense foods, broccoli
  rabe can slow the progression of many health
  conditions, including Alzheimers,
  osteoarthritis, hypertension, and heart disease.
  Broccoli rabe also contains a unique antioxidant
  known as lutein. When eaten in sufficient
  quantities, lutein can preserve eyesight by
  protecting the retinas from free radicals.

4. Blueberries

• Dietary fiber reduces the risk of diseases such
  as diabetes, heart failure, stomach cancer, and
  colorectal cancer. Blueberries are rich in fiber,
  and they make an excellent snack for seniors who
  dont feel like spending much time in the
  kitchen. Blueberries also contain antioxidants
  called anthocyanins that can protect brain cells
  from damage and enhance a seniors memory. 
• Encouraging your loved one to switch to a healthy
  diet may present a few challenges. Families who
  find it difficult to care for their aging loved
  ones without assistance can benefit greatly from
  professional respite care. Bethlehem, PA, family
  caregivers who need a break from their caregiving
  duties can turn to Home Care Assistance. Using
  our proprietary Balanced Care Method, our respite
  caregivers can encourage your loved one to eat
  well, exercise regularly, get plenty of mental
  and social stimulation, and focus on other
  lifestyle factors that promote longevity.

5. Flaxseed

• Even though flaxseed can be turned into different
  food products, many people put whole seeds in
  their salads, yogurt bowls, and smoothies.
  Flaxseed contains a significant amount of omega-3
  fatty acids, which reduces the risk of type 2
  diabetes, joint inflammation, colon cancer, and
  dementia. Eating flaxseed can also minimize the
  symptoms of emotional health disorders such as
  depression.

6. Sweet Potatoes

• Researchers now know vitamin A can slow the aging
  process, and sweet potatoes are packed with this
  key antioxidant. Sweet potatoes are an excellent
  alternative to other types of potatoes that tend
  to be very high in calories and carbohydrates.
  The sugar content in sweet potatoes wont cause
  blood sugar spikes, which makes them a great
  option for seniors who have type 1 and type 2
  diabetes.

• Aging adults often need assistance with switching
  to nutritious meals and managing everyday
  household tasks. 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 your loved
