Healthy eating begins with you! Giving your body the right nutrients and maintaining a healthy weight can help you stay active and independent. The definition of healthy eating does change a little as you age. For example, as you grow older, your metabolism slows down, so you need fewer calories than before. Your body also needs more of certain nutrients. That means it’s more important than ever to choose foods that give you the best nutritional value.

Guest speaker Margie Gentillela, RN and Attention Plus Care Client Service Supervisor will explore tips on how to find the best foods for your body and why staying hydrated as you age is important.
