Healthy Aging Recipes

Support aging deliciously with these healthy recipes. As we age, our bodies require different nutrients to help keep us healthy. With that in mind, these recipes are great sources of at least two nutrients that support healthy aging: fiber, protein, calcium and vitamin D. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, these nutrients can support healthy aging by aiding with healthy digestion, bone health and muscle maintenance.
