As we grow older we must tweak our food habits too. Adding more protein and fiber helps. And if you find that food isn’t giving you the required nourishment you should speak to your doctor about getting a supplement that would. I spoke to my doctor who prescribed Ensure. Like many others, I had apprehensions about Ensure making me put on weight and getting me habituated to it. My doctor explained it all to me. I have been taking Ensure for a year now, and I was glad to find out that my apprehensions were just assumptions.
