These types of foods are usually much cheaper than fresh fruits and vegetables. They\u2019re also easier to prepare, which makes them attractive to seniors who can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to cook labor-intensive healthy meals. Or seniors who have trouble getting to the grocery store and shopping. If your senior parent is only going to the grocery every couple of weeks or so they won\u2019t be buying a lot of fresh produce or fruit because it will go back before they can shop again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong><em>But eating a diet packed with naturally anti-inflammatory foods can significantly reduce the pain your senior loved one has. <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Elder care providers can help seniors shop for healthy foods and prepare healthy meals. So there\u2019s no excuse for seniors to not have these anti-inflammatory foods in their diet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> Extra virgin olive oil<\/li><li> Grapes<\/li><li> Berries<\/li><li> Nuts<\/li><li> Seeds<\/li><li> Broccoli<\/li><li> Avocados<\/li><li> Fish<\/li><li> Green Tea<\/li><li> White tea<\/li><li> Coffee<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong><em>Limiting processed foods and foods that can contribute to inflammation like boxed rice, potatoes, pre-packaged dishes, and microwave meals can help seniors minimize inflammation so they aren\u2019t in so much pain all the time. <\/em><\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if your senior parent is on a limited budget they may be buying pre-packaged foods because they are trying to save money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can help your senior parents eat a diet that has more anti-inflammatory foods by giving them grocery gift cards they can use to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. Or you can sign them up for a delivery box of local fresh veggies and fruits. Almost every community has some type of home delivery of local produce now and the costs are quite reasonable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong><em>Another way to make sure that your senior loved one has access to fresh fruits and vegetables regularly is to sign them up for a meal delivery kit.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> Meal delivery kits are designed so that the kit contains all the ingredients needed to make a delicious meal including fresh vegetables and meats. The kits are shipped to your loved one\u2019s home in dry ice to keep them fresh. Then all your loved one has to do is assemble the meal, which they can do alone or with help from an elder care provider. <br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Of course, getting your senior loved one to actually eat healthy meals made from anti-inflammatory foods might be a challenge. <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/touchinghearts.com\/westminster\/about\/\"><strong><em>Elder care<\/em><\/strong><\/a> providers can help with that challenge too. A home care provider can get your senior interested in following a healthy diet by making meals and eating with your senior loved one. They can also keep track of your loved one\u2019s diet and their pain levels to see if the food they are eating is having an impact on their pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mce_0\"><strong><em>If you or an aging loved-one is considering hiring <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/touchinghearts.com\/westminster\/contact\/\"><strong><em>Elder Care in Thornton, CO<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>, please contact the caring staff at Touching Hearts at Home today at 303-255-4071.<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Sources:<br> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/foods-that-fight-inflammation\">https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/<\/a><br><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/13-anti-inflammatory-foods#_noHeaderPrefixedContent\">https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/13-anti-inflammatory-foods#_noHeaderPrefixedContent\">https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elder Care: Diet can have a big impact on a senior\u2019s health.
