What is the recommended dietary intakes for age group of fifty to sixty year old women?

Women in the 50-60 age range that do not get regular exercise should strive to have a diet of 1,600 calories per day at a maximum. If they are quite active, this figure can be increased to 2,200 calories a day. Older women are at risk for failing to get enough magnesium, fiber, potassium, calcium and vitamins A, C, D and E. Therefore, foods that are high in fats, cholesterol, sugar and salt should be avoided since these impact the absorption of the aforementioned nutrients necessary for a proper diet.
