Food Suggestions
For Older Folks
By FRANCES C. HALL
County fcitenilon Agent
Older folks can add more life
to their years and perhaps years
to their lives by following good
eating hints from Oregon State
University nutritionists.
In 1900. 48 was considered the
average life span for adults. To
day, TO is an overall average.
And those who reach 70 have
prospects of living another 12
years.
Following a basic food pattern
;i!l through life plus daily exer
cise of some kind contributes
greatly to vibrant living, say
home economists. Here are some
of their suggestions for older!
folks: Forget birthdays and en
joy good eating by regular use of
foods selected from basic food
groups meat, fish, poultry, milk,
cereals and breads, vegetables
and fruits. The many vitamins
now known to be essential in hu
man nutrition are available
through the generous supply of
foods on grocery store shelves.
Ar vitamin pills necessary?
Only if advised by your doctor.
After you reach 40, yotir metab
olism will likely slow down even
though you remain as active as
always. Although you need Jess
food, you still need all the nutri
ents food provides, advise special
ists, so cut down on calorie-rich
foods that supply energy but not
special vitamins. Desserts (es
pecially those that contain fat
and sugar), carbonated drinks
and sweet rolls fall in this class.
If you live by yourself, how
can you make foods taste and
look good? Buy small amounts.
They may cost more but they
stay fresh for the length of time;
it takes to eat them. Use manyj
of the dried, frozen and canned
foods. Nonfat dry milk stores well
for months on the pantry shelf
and can be mixed a glass at
a time. A loaf of bread goes a
lone way if you freeze half
and use the rest fresh. Storing
bread in the refrigerator retards
mold but hastens staling.
Take time to prepare some
thing that looks good and it'll
taste better, they advise. Put a
small bouquet of flowers on the
table, use some of the nice dish
es you save for "good," and in
vite a friend in to eat.
If you need to watch your
weight, go easy on high-calorie
foods. Generally, those foods that
are greasy, heavy for their size,
sweet and gooey, carry the most
calories. Substitute low fat top
pings tmade from nonfat milk)
for whipping cream, lemon Juice
for mayonnaise, and a little grat
ed cheese for rich gravies.
By just cutting down on the
amount of fats, you can reduce
your calorie intake quite easily.
All foods contain calories but fat
foods carry nine calories per
gram compared to four calories
per gram for protein and carbohy
drates.
If chewing Is difficult, cube
chop or grind some foods. Think
twice before you invest a large
sum of money in a blender or
juicer. You can't put any more
food value into a food than was
originally there.
In other words, vegetable Juices
are not any more nutritious than
the fresh vegetables. Cook vege
tables until just tender in about
' cup of water. See that greens
are kept in the refrigerator in
plastic bags and Used while still
crisp and fresh.
Walking is a good cheao tnni
even in the rain. It keeps muscles
and heart strong and improves
circulation in the coronary areas.
