Preventing Malnutrition
Malnutrition prevalence in aged care is significant. Between 40 and 70% of residents experience malnutrition. Our goal is to focus on using ‘food first’ solutions to reduce the burden of malnutrition in aged care and enhance the residents quality of life.
Food Fortification
Dietary fibre is the indigestible part of plant foods, such as fruit, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds and legumes. Fibre adds bulk to our stools, promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in our bowel, and also acts a sponge, absorbing fluid to soften the stools.
