Living Well with Mobility Limitations
Mobility Limitations can be a risk factor for several conditions and lead to increased isolation and loneliness. A carer helps to make your home more accessible.
Eating well generally means living well. But planning meals, shopping and cooking can become difficult as we get older, leading to a risk of malnutrition and poorer health.
Some factors that can increase the risk of malnutrition as we get older:
While older adults tend to require fewer calories, physical changes and loss of ability to absorb vitamins and minerals mean that food needs to be nutrient-dense in order to promote good health. Foods high in sugar and fat can add to malnutrition by providing empty calories that do not nourish the body.
When meal planning, it is important to focus on lean protein (meats, seafood, eggs and beans), a variety of fruits and vegetables (aim for a rainbow of colours), whole grains and dairy. Involvement in meal planning has been shown to reduce the risk of malnutrition in older age – we are much more likely to enjoy the food we choose.
A carer can work with you or your loved one to plan healthy meals with them that are tailored to specific tastes and needs. They can also assist with all tasks associated with meals including shopping, cooking and feeding assistance.
