Maintaining a healthy and well-balanced diet is an important responsibility that we all must pay attention to as we age. With the help of a balanced diet, seniors are better able to maintain a healthy weight, get the nutrients they need and keep their energy up. Additionally, eating healthier means that you can easily lower your risk of developing common chronic health conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Did you know that 1 in 4 older Americans is living with poor nutrition? The are many health risks associated with poor nutrition or malnutrition and both can make it much easier for seniors to become underweight or overweight. Additionally, poor nutrition often results in weakened muscles and bones, leaving seniors much more vulnerable to common diseases.

At Havenwood Heritage Heights, we are dedicated to ensuring our residents have every opportunity to enjoy foods that are rich in vitamins, fiber, minerals and other essential nutrients. With a number of different dining options to choose from, we also hope to help eliminate or reduce the number of unhealthy food options that are available to our residents. This means that we work hard to create meals plans which help to limit foods that are high in salt, saturated and trans fats and processed sugars. Whether you choose to eat in one of our many dining rooms or you'd like the option of taking your meals to-go, we want to make sure you have plenty of healthy options to choose from for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
