If you have difficulty chewing it can be tough to get down the fruits and vegetables you need to support brain and bone health. Therefore, you can opt for smoothies instead that are made with fresh fruit, yogurt and protein powder. In addition, steaming vegetables and eating softer foods will make life easier when it comes to chewing. For those that suffer from dry mouth, be sure to drink 8-10 glasses of water each day. Adding sauces to your food can also help with swallowing.

Of course, depending on your situation it can also be difficult to get all of the groceries and other items you need in order to stick to your healthy diet. Luckily, you can take advantage of home delivery services or enlist the help of a neighbor or housemate in order to get all of your shopping and cooking done. At the end of the day, a healthy diet will allow you to live longer and stronger, sharpen your mind and help you feel better.
