Nutrition, lifestyle, and early care can make a huge difference. 🔹 Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) • Diet tip: Reduce salt, processed foods; include leafy greens, berries, oats, and potassium-rich foods like bananas. 🔹 Diabetes • Diet tip: Focus on complex carbs (whole grains, legumes), fiber-rich foods, healthy fats (avocado, nuts), and control portion sizes. 🔹 Heart Diseases • Diet tip: Eat fatty fish (omega-3s), olive oil, nuts, seeds, and plenty of vegetables; avoid fried and sugary foods. 🔹 Arthritis & Bone Loss (Osteoporosis) • Diet tip: Include calcium-rich foods (dairy, fortified plant milks), vitamin D (sunlight, fatty fish), and protein to maintain bone strength. 🔹 Kidney Disease • Diet tip: Stay hydrated, limit excess salt and processed foods, monitor protein intake, and eat antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables. 🔹 Memory Decline & Dementia • Diet tip: Eat brain-healthy foods: leafy greens, berries, nuts, fatty fish, whole grains, and spices like turmeric. 🔹 Depression & Loneliness • Diet tip: Balanced meals with complex carbs, omega-3s, and protein help support mood; don’t skip meals. 🔹 Malnutrition • Diet tip: Small frequent meals, nutrient-dense snacks, fortified foods, and hydration help maintain weight and strength. 🔹 Vision & Hearing Loss • Diet tip: Include vitamin A (carrots, sweet potato), vitamin C (citrus), lutein & zeaxanthin (spinach, kale), and omega-3 fatty acids.
