What will be an ideal response?
The general recommendations are in line with those from the Dietary Guidelines, including emphasis on nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; poultry, fish, and low-fat dairy products; and reducing consumption of trans and saturated fats, sugars, and salt. The visual of MyPlate for Older Adults includes half of the plate filled with fruits and vegetables, with frozen and low-sodium, low-sugar canned foods because they retain their nutrients and are more affordable and easier to prepare and have a longer shelf-life. There is also specific mention of the need for physical activity and adequate fluid intake.
