Title: 6 Nutritious Gluten-Free Foods for Older Adults

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
