In addition, you should drink 300 to 400 ml of milk or dairy products with the same protein content per day to supplement calcium and other important nutrients.

Eat small and regular meals

Elderly people should adopt a diet that includes many small and frequent meals. This means you can increase the number of times you eat each day and don't need to eat too much. Eat until you are about 70% to 80% full.
