Caregivers! In 2026:
Get your health check-ups done ; make sure your physician evaluate your medications regularly; listen to your body. You can’t take care of your loved one if your cup is empty!

Eating and drinking is not only necessary for sustenance but it is an integral part of fellowship with each other!

When we share food and drink we release Dopamine which reinforces our motivation to continue to eat and drink.

But when we are unsuccessful during this important social interaction, it may lead to negative emotions connected to eating and drinking.

But do not give up - you can be successful!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Here at The Botes Memory Method we believe in healthy nutrients, but we also recognize that with sensory changes, our person on the dementia journey may have taste challenges.

Here is a tasty high protein snack or meal:
Ingredients:
4 boiled 🥚
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 cup Greek Yoghurt (depending on desired texture)
Organic 🍯 to taste
2 Tablespoons Organic Cacao (70% or more - too taste)

Mix together in blender until smooth.
Refrigerate for 2 hours and serve as chocolate mousse.
