Very few seniors notice that their dietary requirements change with age and as a result, they could be unknowingly malnourished, underweight, or increasing their risk of chronic disease.
Not only is it increasingly a concern for the ageing population, but there are few effective solutions to assist the elderly in turning their health around and preventing malnutrition.
Most seniors strive to stay at home independently for as long as they possibly can – but this could in fact be their undoing.
People aged over 65 require foods high in protein, energy, and nutritional value to ensure for optimal health and wellbeing.
Having access to, or cooking their own healthy and well-balanced meals each day can prove difficult for seniors at home on their own, which often leads to malnutrition and poor health.
Moving into a care facility with staff preparing meals daily is not necessarily the answer either, with studies showing up to 80 per cent of elderly people in aged care are in fact malnourished themselves.
Fortunately, the solution is simple – seniors stay at home where they want to be, and have wholesome and healthy meals delivered right to their doorstep.
