Eating Right for Seniors: Curbing the Sweet Tooth

we don’t just do services we bring peace of mind!

It’s no secret that seniors like to eat sweets. This growing love of sugar among the elderly is the result of a natural human progression that we will all experience.

The sense of taste is directly correlated to the number and sensitivity of taste buds. Humans have between 10,000 and 15,000 taste buds at our best. However, as we age we lose taste buds and the ones we have left become increasingly less sensitive. As a result, sweets and salts take over our cravings as we try to get the same enjoyment out of eating. Unfortunately, these foods often come with increased calorie counts and greater amounts of fat. The lack of nutritional value in these foods can be particularly dangerous for a senior’s diet, putting them at risk for severe health issues.

Our home care professionals experience this every day while working to keep their clients eating healthy. It can be hard to curb the senior sweet tooth, but there are good tactics to keep them eating healthy while still enjoying the foods they eat. Below are some healthy snacks that make for great substitutes to sugary treats:
• Cut fruit mixed with flavored yogurt
• Applesauce with cinnamon
• Seedless grapes with honey
• Vegetables with nut butter dip

If a senior has trouble swallowing or digesting solids, a great solution is blended drinks. Preparing fruit smoothies can be a healthy treat that also has great nutritional benefits.

When it comes to preparing foods for seniors, it’s important to not deny them their cravings. It’s also important to maintain a good balance of sugary treats with nutritional food options in a senior meal plan.

With our home care resources and professional support, we can provide a daily nutritious meal, for your seniors, directly to their door.

Laughing Your Way to Better Health – It Can Really Happen!

There may be more truth to the saying “Laughter is the best medicine” than once thought. For years, scientists have marveled at the health benefits of a good chuckle. According to their research, humans change physiologically when we laugh. Our blood pressure and pulse elevate and we breathe faster, pushing more oxygen to our tissues. Some researchers even compare a hearty laugh’s ability to raise our heart rate to vigorous exercise.
For home care patients living with chronic illnesses, laughter may be especially beneficial. Numerous studies have shown that the most convincing benefit of laughter is its ability to dull pain. Those with painful chronic illnesses have consistently reported some relief from pain while laughing. No matter their specific needs, children to senior home care patients can all benefit from a good laugh.
Regular laughing throughout the day has consistently been connected to:
Sleeping Better: 10 minutes of laughing before sleep can help people relax and sleep better throughout the night.

Decreased Blood Sugar Levels: Studies have shown that in-home care patients with diabetes can lower their blood sugar level simply by laughing.
Perhaps the most obvious (and most beneficial) benefit of laughter is its ability to improve our mood. Laughing also has many social benefits as it allows us to better bond with and create relationships with those around us.
The home care professionals at Caribbean Nurses Next Door Agency office are always laughing and we encourage our Care Givers to laugh as often as possible as well! Incorporating humor into a home care plan is an easy way to improve the health of home care clients with a smile.
