NUTRITION EDUCATION AND COUNSELING

Adequate nutrition and physical activated plays a central role in keeping us healthy. Many older Americans are not eating well. Those who live alone may find cooking too much trouble. Some may have difficulty getting to the grocery store. Others simply cannot afford to buy the kinds of food that could keep them healthy.

Office for the Aging

provides nutrition programs for seniors 60 years of age and older. We sponsor Meals On Wheels and Community Dining Sites. These programs promote good nutrition and help seniors stay healthy.

NUTRITION EDUCATION:

The Office for the Aging meals are designed to meet one third of your daily requirements for good health. In addition to meals, we offer nutrition education. This education provides up to date information about healthy lifestyles and balanced eating. It is a good idea to have a contract to discuss. Office for the Aging has a sample that may be helpful.

NUTRITION COUNSELING:

The Office for the Aging offers individual nutrition counseling for seniors with chronic conditions or illnesses related to nutrition. We have information available such as meal planning for diabetics and much more. Call our office and a referral will be made to our Dietitian for Nutrition Counseling.
