Best Foods for Men Over 65

The ideal number of calories a person should eat
every day declines with age, which means every
calorie a senior consumes should be packed with
important nutrients to keep the body running
efficiently. Adding these superfoods, recommended
by Jefferson County senior care professionals, to
your loved ones diet will make it easier for him
to meet his nutritional needs.

Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is an all-around superfood with less
carbs, salt, and sugar than regular yogurt and
more probiotics to support healthy digestion.
Greek yogurt is also an excellent source of
calcium with almost 190 mg per serving. Men
between 51 and 70 should get 1,000 mg of calcium
a day, then 1,200 mg a day over the age of 70.
Greek yogurt is also an excellent source of
vitamins B12 and B6. Vitamin B12 supports healthy
nerve function, but many seniors are deficient
because they cant absorb it as well as young
people.

Asparagus
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among
elderly men, and asparagus has been found to
guard against prostate cancer and other prostate
problems. Prostate enlargement begins around age
of 40 and eventually leads to difficulty
urinating. Asparagus is also a great source of
fiber for digestive health and vitamin A to
support the immune system and eye health.
5
Broccoli
Broccoli is packed with antioxidants, fiber, and
vitamins A, C, B9, and K to support the immune
system, bones, and eyes. Broccoli has more
potassium than almost any other food, which
reduces blood pressure and reduces the risk of
kidney stones. Its recommended that senior men
get 4,700 mg of potassium a day, a goal most do
not reach. Broccoli has 468 mg of potassium per
serving.
6
Kale
Kale is a versatile superfood that can be added
to smoothies, cooked in place of spinach, added
to soup, or eaten raw in a salad. This flavorful
leafy green is packed with omega-3 fatty acids,
which may help guard against dementia and memory
problems. Its also a great source of calcium to
support the bones and lutein to support eye
health.
7
Oatmeal
The main benefit of oatmeal is its high amount of
soluble fiber, which lowers cholesterol. Men are
at an increased risk of high cholesterol and
heart disease by the age of 45, although a daily
serving of oatmeal can go a long way toward
reducing this risk. Eating just 5-10 more grams
of soluble fiber a day can drop LDL cholesterol
by up to 5 percent. Interested in learning more
