Seniors are prone to skipping meals. They often find it too tiresome to cook for themselves or just don’t find themselves as hungry as often. This is one of the leading causes of malnutrition in seniors. As a provider of medical home health care in CA we always prioritize the nutrition of our senior patients.
Meal prepping is a great way to make sure they are eating healthily. You can plan out healthy meals for the week, precook them, and store them in the refrigerator. They can then be conveniently reheated when it’s mealtime.
Here are some tips for meal prepping:
- Develop a plan that incorporates your loved one’s food preferences.
- Introduce new recipes to add excitement and anticipation.
- Undercook the food but label and store them properly to preserve its nutrition and flavor.
- Eat together as much as possible.
Another convenient way to make sure your senior loved one is eating properly is to hire home health services in Burbank CA. Some can provide you with meal preparation and nutrition counseling.
