Healthy Eating at Home: Fuel for Healthy Senior Living

As we get older, our bodies age. That is for certain. But as a leader in home care, it is Broad Street’s mission to ensure our members age successfully, remaining active and engaged in life and with family for years to come. The question is how do we reach this goal? For us the answer begins with the food we eat.

Human bodies are like specialized machines, each requiring unique combinations of fuel and additives to run optimally. This can vary between individuals and change over time. However, with the help of Broad Street Home Care and their network of dietitians, we can help properly design and monitor a customized diet, enabling you to live an active, independent life in your home for longer. And with the variety of foods that can be incorporated, you can still experience the pleasure of a good meal. Some of the benefits of a designed diet can include:

• Improved energy and mobility

• Prevention and mitigation of symptoms related to chronic conditions such as Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) or Diabetes

• Improved mental health including delaying or preventing Dementia and Alzheimer’s

• Strengthened immune system

At Broad Street, the dietitians in our Professional Network can develop customized menus that provide the right nutrition but also conform with your individual tastes. In addition, we also provide Personal Assistants who can prepare the meals and serve them to you, along with family and friends, in the comfort of your home. Come talk to us about how we can help customize a meal plan that provides you with the fuel to live the life you choose.
