Older adults, along with other Americans, are advised to “eat from the rainbow” of foods rich in nutrients, like these:

* Fruits and vegetables (choose a range of types with vibrant colors)
* Whole grains, like oatmeal, whole-wheat bread, and brown rice
* Fat-free or low-fat milk and cheese, or soy or rice milk that is fortified with vitamin D and calcium
* Seafood, lean meats, poultry, and eggs
* Beans, nuts, and seeds
