A thought this week from the ."Fitness for Older' Adults" handbook produced by Fitness and Amateur Sport 1982 is "Activity level and food intake must balance in order for body weight to remain stable. Regular exercise allows a greater daily calorie con- sumption without weight gain. This is important for older people since if greater quantities of food can be eaten, there is a better chance of achieving a balanced diet and an adequate supply of all essential nutrients". Keep this in mind when you plan your meals and activities this week.
