What makes the Red Roof Cafe Special for Older Adults?
Older adults:
Because we lose our sense of taste as we age, which often prevents us from getting the adequate nutrition we need, “a tasty simple breakfast made with whole foods, such as fruit, whole grains and eggs, or calcium-rich plain yogurt can be essential in helping older adults meet their vitamin and mineral goals,” Hendel says.
“I also believe meeting protein goals are of particular importance in older adults, so a handful of roasted soy nuts or tofu marinated in a favorite sauce would be another great option,” she adds.
Moore explains older adults often eat less food at one sitting, which can hinder adequate caloric intake even further. “If they skip a meal, it can be hard to make up those calories later in the day,” she says, adding that older adults tend to have a bigger appetite early in the day, which is yet another reason to increase breakfast options for seniors.
What’s more, eating breakfast can assist older adults in taking the medications they may need in the morning as well as regulating bowels and stimulating taste buds...listen to educated professionals and stop for a good meal. The Red Roof Cafe makes good meals!
