For Visiting Angels in Toms River, New Jersey's best elderly care service, every day is a day to celebrate good health. But they want you to join in, too, and this April, the World Health Organization brings awareness to food safety via their annual World Health Day. 

Celebrate the key lessons of World Health Day with your senior by taking part in some of the following activities:

• Learn the proper ways to prepare a favorite food: If the foods your senior enjoys present high risks of food-borne illness—like chicken, for instance—take the time with your family member to learn the proper techniques for preparation. With a little bit of research, you can learn the signs of poor preparation, and prevent illness in yourself and your loved one. 
• Create a diet plan: For the sake of health, time, and finances, creating a diet plan can be a great way for seniors to manage their eating habits throughout the week. Thorough diet plans should also include a shopping list and instructions for meal prep. Your senior care specialist is happy to assist your family member in planning and preparing meals that suit their palate and dietary needs.
• Learn to read labels: Nutritional labels can seem overwhelming at first glance, but by learning how to read them, your seniors will be able to better decide on how to stock their pantries with foods that not only taste great, but are good for them too. The FDA provides a great guide that’s intuitive and easy to understand.

This year, celebrate the spirit of World Health Day every day by providing your elderly loved one with the care they need to stay healthy and happy.
