Elderly people need to have the right nutrition. Their bodies need nutrients to aid their medications. Proper food intake can also help prevent dehydration. As a provider of personal care in California, we understand the struggle in providing the right meal for the elderly.
It is essential to keep a list of foods that are not only delicious but also easier to chew and swallow. Since meal preparation is among the services we provide, we have noted the following:
- Fruits such as strawberries, berries, apples, and bananas
These are known for their nutritional benefits and are versatile. Frozen fruits can be excellent smoothies- which everyone enjoys.
- Mashed potatoes, hummus, scrambled eggs, and vegetable puree
Giving them soft and moist food that is easy to prepare and at the same time, these puree foods give an easy to chew texture.
- Nutritious soup does not only provide tons of healthy nutrients but is also a good option to prevent dehydration in seniors.
There are several nutritious food options that are widely available for seniors. Proper research and knowing the preferences of the seniors will make it an easy task.
