Eating Tips for Single People
Chances are that older people
who eat regular, well balanced
meals have a healthier and
happier life than people who eat
less well. Mrs. Ruth J. Buck,
Extension foods and nutrition
specialist at Pennsylvania State
University, offers some
suggestions for stimulating the
appetite. Keep regular
mealimes, try light exercise each
day (walking is best), try new
recipes, experiment with new
flavors and seasonings, use a
pretty plate, set flowers on the
table and ask a friend to join you
for meals. Eating alone isn’t
much fun but it does offer a
chance to be creative. Use your
imagination to make meals for
one as pleasant as can be.
