  1. Eat, Drink and Be Merry! Healthier Holiday Eating for Seniors During the holidays, many older adults get off-track nutritionally with the extra calories, fat, sodium and sugar in traditional favorites from eggnog to gingerbread. Below are a few tips to help seniors consume fewer unhealthy holiday foods while still reveling in festivities. Plan ahead and choose wisely. Forget winging it at holiday functions. Consider eating a light protein snack before the party and bring healthier foods to the function including a vegetable or fresh fruit tray. Select smaller portions.Sample a few bites of “off-limit” foods and practice eating in moderation overall. Choosing a smaller plate also can help with portion control. Ease up on alcoholic beverages. Alternate between drinking spirits and drinking nonalcoholic, calorie-free drinks. Stay hydrated with water throughout a gathering. Mingle or sit away from the dessert platters and buffet tables. Hovering too close to the ready-at-hand foods invites mindless munching. Right at Home Ann Arbor, a leading provider of in-home care and assistance in Metro Detroit, MI, can help older and disabled adults with better nutritional health through meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking and cleanup.
