The key is focusing on <strong>nutrient-dense foods<\/strong> that deliver maximum energy with minimal digestive effort.<\/p>\n<p>Start with incorporating these energy powerhouses daily:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Omega-3 rich fish like salmon and mackerel<\/li>\n<li>Iron-packed foods including leafy greens and eggs<\/li>\n<li>B12 sources such as fortified cereals and lean meats<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hydration becomes increasingly crucial as our thirst sensors decline with age.
