14 Retirement is a significant life transition, bringing with it changes in lifestyle, routine, and health. One of the key areas impacted during this phase is eating habits. As we age, various factors like changes in taste, dietary restrictions, and decreased mobility can make mealtime challenging. Gourmet Meals is committed to helping retirees navigate these changes to maintain a healthy, enjoyable diet. Retirement is an opportunity to focus on your well-being, and a balanced diet is a key component.
