As years progress, a woman’s nutritional needs change to accommodate life changes.

Women Have Special Nutritional Needs

General aging, hormone changes, and menopause can all play a role in nutrition needs. In general, a healthy, balanced diet will meet most of a woman’s nutritional needs as she ages, but there are a few adjustments that women can make to ensure optimal health from middle age to later years.

As they age, women typically need less calories, but it’s important to have a healthy balance. Too few calories per day can actually lead to a higher risk for poor health and malnutrition, so it’s important for women to ensure they are getting an adequate amount of calories. Women who are more physically active may need more calories for energy. For more information on specific calorie needs, talk to your primary care provider or a Registered Dietitian.
