🌟 Healthy Eating in Care Homes = Better Health & Longer Life! 🌟
Good nutrition and hydration aren’t just important—they’re essential for older adults. Eating well in a care home can help protect your body and mind, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and keep you feeling your best. 💪🧠
✅ What to know:
Many residents have specific dietary needs: allergies, intolerances, vegan/vegetarian diets, or religious requirements like halal or kosher.
Energy needs change with age, but balanced intake of fats, carbs, and fiber is still vital.
Older adults may need vitamin D supplements due to less sun exposure.
🍎 Benefits of healthy eating:
Supports bone, joint & dental health
Helps prevent age-related conditions like heart disease, dementia & more
Boosts overall wellbeing and quality of life
A nutritious, varied diet that respects your needs and preferences is more than food—it’s self-care for a longer, healthier life. 🌿💛
