Healthy Diets This Thanksgiving for Seniors and Elderly in Diamond Bar

Aside from ensuring that your loved one eats healthy and well-balanced meals each day, it’s important to have good food handling habits – especially this Thanksgiving. Elderly and Senior individuals have an increased risk of food-borne illness because their immune systems become weaker as they age.  To promote a healthy diet, caregivers or family members may go grocery shopping on a weekly basis to buy foods for the coming week’s daily meals, but with food items such as meat, poultry, and vegetables, it’s important to take into account how long it is safe to leave the food sitting out, how the food is prepared, and maintaining the food in the refrigerator.  Check out this article on Aging Care that talks about food safety measures you can take to prevent food poisoning.
