Try adding blueberries to your breakfast cereal, or blend them up in a smoothie. If buying fresh blueberries is too expensive or you don’t eat them quickly enough, frozen blueberries provide the same level of nutrients and can be stored for longer periods of time.

GREEK YOGURT

10 years ago hardly anyone had heard of this once niche food that has seemingly overtaken supermarket shelves. Part of Greek yogurt’s popularity is due to its high protein content and great taste. It also provides high levels of calcium (good for preventing osteoporosis), potassium, and B12. Protein consumption is very important for seniors because it helps to preserve muscle mass, and adults tend to start eating less meat past age 50. Enter Greek yogurt, which is a great high-protein snack for seniors eating less meat. One thing to watch out for with Greek yogurt is the high sugar content of the flavored varieties. Opting for plain Greek yogurt would be the healthiest choice, and you can stir in fresh fruit or granola. If it’s good for Popeye, it’s good for you! Leafy greens, not including iceberg lettuce which has little nutrient value, like spinach are perhaps THE most nutrient dense foods you can eat. Spinach is especially high in vitamin K, which aids bone health. To get your daily dose of greens, you can sauté spinach in olive oil until wilted, blend into a delicious smoothie (you’ll barely notice the taste), or make yourself a fresh spinach salad with balsamic vinaigrette.

MIXED NUTS

While most nuts are high in fat, not all fats are bad. Nuts are high in Omega-3 fatty acids, which can help with inflammation and prevent chronic diseases like cancer. Almonds are high in magnesium, pistachios are high in potassium, and even peanuts are considered pretty healthy for seniors. If your doctor wants you on a sodium-restricted diet, you can opt for unsalted mixed nuts. The USDA recommends that you aim for 4 oz of nuts every week.

Will one grape hurt my dog?

Can a Single Grape Kill a Dog? Unfortunately, even consuming one grape or raisin can be fatal. Ingesting the fruit could potentially lead to acute (sudden) kidney failure in dogs.

akc.org - Can Dogs Eat Grapes? - American Kennel Club

Can dogs eat grapes? The answer (and this goes for raisins, too, which are just dried grapes) is easy: No, dogs should never eat grapes. Grapes and raisins are known to be highly toxic to dogs, though research has yet to pinpoint exactly which substance in the fruit causes this reaction. Breed, sex, or age of a dog has no influence on the risk of being affected, and since there is no proven amount that is safe, you shouldn’t be giving your pup grapes or raisins at all.

Can a Single Grape Kill a Dog?

Unfortunately, even consuming one grape or raisin can be fatal. Ingesting the fruit could potentially lead to acute (sudden) kidney failure in dogs.

Signs and Symptoms of Toxic Ingestion

Loss of appetite

Lethargy, weakness, and unusual stillness

Vomiting and/or diarrhea, often within a few hours

Abdominal pain (tender when touched)

Dehydration (signs include panting, dry nose and mouth, and pale gums). A quick way to test for dehydration is to gently pull up on the skin at the back of your dog’s neck. It should spring back immediately if they are properly hydrated. Increased thirst and/or urine production or diminished amount of urine or complete cessation altogether

Kidney failure (which can be fatal)

What to Do if Your Dog Eats Grapes

If your dog has ingested grapes or raisins, treatment is absolutely critical. Contact your veterinarian, who may suggest you induce vomiting as soon as possible. However, you should not induce vomiting if your dog is unconscious, having trouble breathing, or exhibiting signs of distress, as well as if you’re not sure what they have eaten.
