Eating needs, appetite and the practicalities of preparing food can change with age. The aim is to help you maintain a workable, varied diet that fits your health and circumstances.
What nutrition support includes
- Review appetite, meals and any difficulty shopping, cooking or eating.
- Consider protein and other nutrient sources within your usual food choices.
- Adapt meals to preferences and medically advised restrictions.
- Coordinate concerns about unintentional weight loss or supplements with your clinician.
No diet is established as a way to reverse aging, rejuvenate immune organs or guarantee longer life. Laboratory and animal findings do not establish the same outcomes in people.
