Summary

• For the families caring for elderly parents it
  can be a challenging task to maintain a healthy
  and nutritious diet. But with some simple meal
  ideas you can take good care of your seniors
  health.
• Need some ideas of good and healthy meals for
  your seniors?
• As seniors age it is even more important to take
  care of their dietary needs.
• Though elder nutrition doesn't necessarily follow
  some strict guidelines, it is important they have
  a diet that properly aids and nourishes them.
• Here are some ideas of meals you can add to their
  diet plan
• Lets start with breakfast

3
Power Toast

• When your seniors need healthy fat and some
  protein, try out some peanut butter or almond
  butter.
• Try it on whole-wheat toast, and dont forget to
  have a fresh fruit on the side.
• Poached Egg
• If nothing is available, simply have an egg on
  top of whole-wheat toast and steamed asparagus.
• You can add a small amount of butter on top.

Warm Oatmeal and Berries

• You will need frozen or fresh berries for this.
• Add them to a cooker and put it at a low heat
  setting.
• Add a small amount of butter and one serving of
  oatmeal.
• Add the required amount of water and simply cover
  and cook on low.
• Yoghurt Parfait
• What about mixing together yogurt, nuts and
  fruit?
• This can be a good combo for seniors as it has
  healthy fats, Vitamin C and carbohydrates.
• Serve a lip smacking lunch

Quinoa Salad

• Try sautéing some pre-chopped stir-fry
  vegetables, try adding an onion, red pepper,
  mushrooms, combined with pine nuts or pecans.
• Serve with cooked quinoa. It can be blended with
  Italian salad dressing. And the best thing is
  that you can eat it warm or cold.
• Eggs and Red Potatoes
• With a small amount of butter in a frying pan,
  sauté some chop up potatoes and place the pan
  over a medium heat.
• Cover it for 2 minutes and then pour scrambled
  eggs over the potatoes.
• Later you can add pepper and toss until the eggs
  are hot. Try using fresh herbs and spices instead
  of seasoning it with salt.

A healthy dinner is a must have

• Shrimp and Pasta
• You will need some butter and 1 Tbs. olive oil.
• Heat it in a saucepan and then add chopped fresh
  herbs, garlic and a handful of shrimp.
• Cook until the shrimp is done. Serve on a bed of
  pasta, topped with some chopped fresh tomatoes.
• Baked or Grilled Salmon Steak
• On the top of each steak place tomatoes, chopped
  garlic, sweet onion, dried or fresh basil, and 1
  Tbs. extra virgin olive oil.
• Just nicely wrap each piece of fish tightly in
  aluminum foil, and keep it in the oven on a low
  heat.
• We hope you and your seniors will love these
  healthy and nutritious meal ideas.
