Food Pyramid For Older Adults

I think the updated food pyramid for older people is great. It takes into account less need for iron, no need other things, they took this as we get older our metabolism slows and cholesterol and hypertension are major concerns, whereas before they were not.

I'm 52. This is what the new pryamid done for me. He acknowledged that I can not need 4 glasses of milk per day. I'm lactose intolerant anyway, so he placed it to 2 glasses of milk a day for someone who is a woman in my age group. This means that I need not worry as much about cholesterol and I can also provide alternatives to low-fat milk for glasses which will be counted.

I use the tracking system www.mypyramid.gov to help me lose weight I gained during a long period of convalescence. I love it. He shows me on a daily basis what the impact of what I eat and where I need to improve and it shows me the same thing for my business. After analyzing the two, I can click on the energy balance and see if this day will help me lose more than one book.
