Thriving Starts At The Table | Today's Transitions

“When living at home by themselves, older adults often don’t bother with much cooking,” says Abbie Trowbridge, general manager at StoryPoint Northfield Senior Living in Louisville. “It’s too much effort, and then they end up eating cereal or frozen dinners. But at this stage, nutrition is vitally important.”

Indeed, proper nutrition helps maintain cognitive functioning, energy levels, and healthy skin in aging adults. As we grow older, our skin gets thinner, leaving it more vulnerable to tears or wounds. “A balanced diet with plenty of hydration is imperative for strong and resilient skin,” Abbie says.
