NUTRITION FOR THE GOLDEN YEARS: Here's to More Life in Your Life, is an information packed booklet that provides pertinent nutritional and lifestyle information for the caretakers of senior citizens. In addition, the nutritional information provided by Mehl also proves to be of benefit to younger individuals suffering from a physical ailment or even from plain, old-fashioned weight problems as well as to the seniors themselves.

The booklet also provides information on how to identify poor life-style habits, and how to assist the elderly with simple tasks like housecleaning without demeaning them or injuring their self-esteem. Mehl also points out how senior citizens frequently have limited incomes. Incomes that do not allow for the purchase of both necessary medications and healthy foods, and how to recognize the signs of vitamin deficiency and other symptoms of malnutrition.

Broken down into easy to read chapters, each chapter deals with a different aspect of nutrition. From the old myth of three meals a day, to the need for moderate exercise and a low sodium diet, NUTRITION FOR THE GOLDEN YEARS: Here's to More Life in Your Life, provides the reader with an easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to reference source of information for identifying and dealing with the basic nutritional needs of senior citizens and others as well.
