Food insecurity affects not only physical health but also mental health and cognitive functions, particularly in older adults. Those who experience food insecurity are found to have a higher risk of developing depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. As the rate of food insecurity among older adults has risen in recent years, they face a greater risk of experiencing faster cognitive decline, something which is already not uncommon for all of us as we age. #MealsOnWheelsWest #FoodInsecurity #mealsonwheels #seniorhunger #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealth
