Aging Well at Carolina Bay – Advantages you can Taste

May 18, 2015

Today we share the final blog in our three part wellness series about aging well.  Two weeks ago we shared how staying active is a key to aging well and last Thursday explored the role social interactions play in wellness.  Today we explore how your meal choices can help you age well and thrive. Being physically and mentally fit and working to maintain good health in your 50’s and 60’s in many ways will determine what kind of lifestyle you will lead in your 70’s, 80’s and beyond.  Good nutrition is an essential part of aging well, however, taking the time to eat well is not always easy especially in the retirement years when you’re cooking for one or special nutritional needs are required which make cooking more challenging.

Follow these easy steps to help make planning nutritious meals easier and make sure you don’t fall prey to bad eating habits: 1. Plan 2. Shop 3. Prepare
