Senior Food Guide Pyramid

Our Nutritional Needs Change as we Age.

Even though seniors may not need to consume as much food as they used to in order to maintain their weight, the amounts and types of nutrients they need changes.

The Food Pyramid Guide for Older Adults is a helpful tool to understand the changing nutritional needs of seniors. Maintaining the right balance of food groups and vitamins is important for all of us—especially our aging loved ones. And research shows a positive relationship between getting the right nutrition and physical, mental and emotional health. Use the guide below as a visual reminder of the food types and servings seniors should try to incorporate into their diet.
