Seniors: Eating wisely as we age — Kosher favorites don't have to clog the ...
We all have our traditional kosher favorites — and for many this means Ashkenazic fare such as slow-roasted brisket, lokshen kugel, perhaps cholentssw and blintzes. Unfortunately, such kosher classics aren’t always the best choices for us as we get older, especially if they are not prepared with seniors’ dietary needs in mind.
“Age 50 appears to be the time when some of our nutritional needs change,” says dietician Toby Smithson, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and founder of DiabetesEveryDay.com.
As our metabolisms begin to slow down, we need fewer calories. Yet at the same time, we still need food that is high in nutrients.
The challenge, then, is to get all the nutrients we need without overeating. If you are physically active, great — though most people are not scaling the same number of mountains at 60 or 70 that they were at 30. There are also specific vitamins and minerals we need more after we hit 50, Smithson says, notably potassium, calcium and vitamins B12 and D. We also need fiber, but slightly less than we do when we’re younger.
