Nutrition for senior citizens #880439

Asked August 06, 2024, 4:17 PM EDT

Jenny Lobe will be speaking at the Bexley Library program at the end of August. I was told she is the nutrition expert. I will not be able to attend. Does she or others have any resources they recommend about the various nutrients a 79-year old woman should pay attention to? Thank you.

Hi Peggy,

Thank for you for interest in this class. I will be talking about the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. There are specific nutrition considerations for older adults outlined at https://www.myplate.gov/life-stages/older-adults. 

You may also reference this OSU Extension fact sheet Smart Eating for Healthy Aging. 

Please feel free to reach out directly if you have specific questions: <personal data hidden>.
