Nutrition Tips for the Elderly in Cumming, GA

April 10, 2018
shutterstock_645695308.jpgBone health is important for Cumming/Gainesville seniors living with Parkinson's Disease. Why? As seniors progress in PD, they are likely to lose their balance and fall more often. This results in high risk of bone breakage. That it is why it is important for seniors to maintain healthy diet and nutrition, eating and drinking foods that are high in vitamin D, K, calcium, and magnesium.

Drinking 8 glasses of water a day will ensure that you are hydrated, resulting in clearer thinking, kidney health, regular blood pressure, and overall more stability in health.

Not only does diet encourage bone health, but excerising regularly as well. Cumming/Gainesville seniors should maintain regular daily exercising in areas that increase bone strength, mobility, and balance.
