Orchestrating Meals that Strengthen Body and Mind

Sometimes seniors can fall out of the habit of preparing meals for themselves and eating in a healthy way. The loss of friends, mobility and other factors can lead to depression which in turn reduces appetite. Unfortunately, malnutrition is prevalent in the senior population, and poor eating habits can lead to disease and hospitalization.

Having an energetic home care provider come in to help rethink meals can get seniors back into eating healthy on a regular basis. A fresh face, new company and an establishment of a routine goes far in lifting spirits, as does an accompanied trip to the grocery store where you or a loved one still have control over what to buy as well as the meal plan.

Important Facts About Senior Nutrition

Did you know that the aging body:

  • Produces less digestive fluid: Making food absorption more difficult. B6 and B12 supplements along with folic acid help improve nutrient absorption, as does regular water intake
  • Needs nutrient-dense foods: Seniors who eat little should make sure all foods consumed are packed with sufficient protein and nutrients
  • May have altered taste and smell: If this is the case, it's time to experiment with different seasonings to enjoy more foods
  • Is more vulnerable to bacteria: Harder to fight off infections that can be caused by old food, making freshness monitoring crucial
"Our caregivers come back to home base with some amazing recipes picked up from our clients who are practiced cooks. Because we serve clients of all nationalities and backgrounds, our senior care providers often return to the office with new cooking techniques and recipes. We love learning new culinary skills!"
