Context Added to Mental Health
Mental Health:

The impact of certain diseases can also impact the quality of the food in the elderly population, especially those that are in care facilities. More often than not, when some has Alzheimer's disease they do not receive the care that is needed, and a decline in one's mental health is seen. It is a proven fact that those who make connections with others live longer. When a person falls victim to such a disease that limits mental capability, they could die earlier than they would've if they did not have the disease. This can be changed by proper care and an overall sense of well-being, however when a person does not receive the proper nourishment and food choices, they will fall victim to this.

Social Environment and Conditioning adds:

Social network type can also affect individuals food choices in our elderly population as well. For example, a person that has a larger social network and lower economic status is more likely to have proper nutrition that someone who has a smaller social network and higher economic status. This means that it is important for our elderly populations to keep social networks so they can live longer and have a more active lifestyle, especially when it comes to food.

= Finalize your topic / Find your sources = I have decided to go with the food choice of other adults for my article. I will be talking about preferences of food choice over time. For example, a certain age might be more inclined to eat certain foods than other age groups. For this article, I will be focusing on groups of older adults.
