Alimentación Saludable para Personas de Edad: Creación De Comidas Sin Necesidad de Cocinar1

Jennifer Hillan2

¿Qué hay de comer cuando usted no tiene ganas de cocinar? Piense en alimentos que se puedan usar para una comida balanceada y que no necesiten ser cocinados. Después, ponga estos alimentos en el lugar que les corresponda en la pirámide.

Figure 1. 

Cómo encaja su comida en la pirámide de alimentos? ¿Está su comida balanceada? ¿Contiene alimentos de al menos tres de los grupos de alimentos básicos (sin incluir grasas, aceites y dulces)? Si no es así, haga los cambios necesarios. Si ha usado alimentos de tres de los grupos básicos, usted habrá creado una comida balanceada. ¡Ahora ya puede incorporarla a su dieta!
