Lunch Tips for Seniors
🥗 Balance Your Plate
Include lean protein (fish, chicken), vegetables, and whole grains in your lunch for sustained afternoon energy without feeling sluggish.
⚖️ Watch Portion Sizes
Eating a moderate lunch prevents that afternoon drowsiness. A balanced portion keeps you satisfied without being overly full.
🌿 Add Color to Your Plate
Different colored vegetables provide different nutrients. Aim for a rainbow of colors in your lunch - reds, greens, yellows, and oranges.
🍲 Soups Are Excellent Choices
Soup-based lunches help with hydration, are easy to digest, and can be made in large batches for convenient meal prep throughout the week.
🕐 Eat at Regular Times
Try to eat lunch around the same time each day. Regular meal times help regulate digestion and maintain steady energy levels.
