Answer
A
Older adults do not need more calories because of their age. They generally require fewer
calories because they may not be as active as they were during their younger years, and
theirmetabolic rates have slowed down. Recommendations for nutrients and calories intake
may need modification with illness. The DASH plan is an eating plan for those with
hypertension. MyPlate is another highly recommended eating plan designed to assist older
adults with maintaining optimal weight and managing hypertension.
