Excess weight or obesity can increase the risk of numerous health issues and chronic conditions in adults, especially senior citizens. Our caregivers in California can help your elderly loved ones manage their weight at home.
Seniors can also maintain a healthy weight at home by:
- Following Recommended Serving Sizes
Counting calories and ensuring your elderly loved ones are eating the right portion sizes can reduce the risk of unnecessary weight gain by helping them hit the caloric threshold for weight maintenance. Home health care services like meal preparation can also help ensure that your elderly loved ones eat right and avoid overeating at home. - Avoiding Empty Calories
Weight gain occurs when the body absorbs more calories than it burns daily, converting the excess calories into fat. Empty calories can drastically increase daily caloric intake with little to no nutritional benefits. Examples of empty calories include junk food and sodas. We offer
companionship in Murrieta, California, to supervise your loved ones during meal time, ensuring that their meals are nutrient dense. - Eat More Fruits and Vegetables
