Question 2

Ruth is an 85-year-old who is currently living alone. Her husband has recently moved to a retirement facility where he receives supervised medical care. Ruth has routinely prepared their daily meals for the past 65 years and now finds herself eating very little because she doesn't feel like cooking for herself. Although she is in good health she has been occasionally hospitalized the past few years for dizziness that turned out to be caused by dehydration. Ruth also used to make weekly trips to the supermarket and tend to the garden, but now with her husband in the retirement home she is getting less physical activity. Ruth has never had to really think about her personal nutrition because she was used to providing balanced meals for her family. She has also never had to think about exercising because until recently she has always led an active lifestyle. However, she now feels that she must make an effort to learn more about what she can do to maintain her health and nutrition. Answer the following question(s) to help Ruth get started in the right direction. In addition to general physical activity, what other type of activity should she consider doing to increase her metabolism and health?
A) Word and number puzzles
B) Lessons on how to use a computer
C) Strength exercises
D) Card games
