Aging Well: Building A Better Diet With Nutrient Density Webinar
As a Healthcare or Senior Living foodservice operator, understanding dietary patterns for healthy aging can help you better serve this growing segment of our population. The nutrition needs of the aging adult are unique and getting good nutrition can be a challenge whether you’re 50 or 80. While there is no “best” diet for aging well, utilizing nutrient dense choices can help build a good, healthful dietary pattern that meets recommendations for nutrients and food groups within calorie needs. Join us for our webinar “Aging Well: Building A Better Diet With Nutrient Density” to learn about the principle of nutrient density, understand the importance of it as it relates to older adults, and pick up some tips and chef inspirations for incorporating nutrient dense options into your menus.
