An older person needs all the nutrition that a younger person needs. Out of the ordinary stuff though would be fibre to keep them regular and to keep them well hydrated. Of course fruits and veges.

I would say take it easy on the major carbohydrates, such as pastas, potatoes and beans. THese items are harder to digest.OLder people exercise less, and have a hard time burning off all the carbs. This sugar leads to other ailments. ALso take it easy on carbo and sugared deserts.
