A healthy diet helps maintain or improve your health. It provides your body with the nutrition and the energy you need throughout the day. Good nutrition is essential at any age. However, maintaining a well-balanced diet is especially important for older adults.

Our bodies need less food and fewer calories as we age, yet they require the same amount or even more of certain vitamins and minerals. If we are not careful about what we eat and drink as we age, there can be negative effects on our daily lives.
