Appetite Concerns
Though loss of appetite is common among seniors, especially those living
alone, it can also be attributed to many things including depression, illness or
anxiety. Good nutrition is vital to your health and wellbeing, and you should
make every effort to eat well-balanced meals with plenty of fruits, vegetables
and whole grains. If preparing meals is difficult for your or your family, you
may want to consider a meals program such as Meals on Wheels offered by VNA
HealthCare or other meal programs in your area. VNA Health Care’s meals program
is reasonably priced and can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
