American Heart Month/ A-1 Home Care Calabasas

Enjoy healthy eating? This month is American Heart Month. A-1 Home Care will be focusing on heart healthy tips for seniors. 

For adults over 50, the benefits of healthy eating include increased mental acuteness, resistance to illness and disease, higher energy levels, faster recuperation times, and better management of chronic health problems. As we age, eating well can also be the key to a positive outlook and staying emotionally balanced. But heart healthy eating doesn't have to be about dieting and sacrifice. Whatever your age, eating well should be all about fresh, colorful food, creativity in the kitchen, and eating with friends.

Once you’re used to eating nutrient-dense food, your body will feel slow and sluggish if you eat less wholesome fare. Here’s how to get in the habit of eating well.

• Reduce sodium 
• Enjoy good fats.

• Avoid “bad” carbs. 
• Look for hidden sugar.

Some obstacles that occur with surgery recovery/ After Surgery Care in Calabasas

The period of time after a major surgery is not a time to try to drop the pounds. Serious side effects of surgery may leave alterations in your body that inhibit the ability to consume nutritious, healing foods. A-1 Home Care has trained our caregivers to watch out for these common food related mishaps:

After surgery, drugs, fatigue and complications can make eating unappealing. The mouth and throat can be sore or dry, medicine can make food taste metallic, and even the sense of smell can be diminished. In these circumstances, it’s best to experiment to see what’s the most palatable. Also, serve small portions throughout the day. Standard portions can seem overwhelming to someone who has to muster the strength just to chew.
