A recent study reported that two out of every five Americans over the age of 75 who lives alone shows four or more signs of poor nutrition. Americans nationwide are struggling to eat healthy, and older Americans are no exception.

Eating healthy foods influences our growth, nourishment, resistance to infections, and the ability to concentrate. But as we get older, our bodies have different needs. Some researches indicate that nutrients can influence the expression of genes through the regulatory signals which can impact nutritional requirements.

Poor nutrition weakens the elders, leaving them vulnerable to illness and other maladies. Between 35 to 50% of older members of long-term care facilities are malnourished. This can seriously affect their quality of life or worsen their existing conditions.

A diet containing the right amount of vitamins and minerals is important in maintaining good health. Therefore, there is a great need to elucidate the effects and functions of food for all ages especially for the senior citizen. This is only possible if caregivers are capable of monitoring the nutrition and dietary needs of the elderly.
