Eating right can be a challenge at any age but we all know that the aging process and any recovery from illness makes this more challenging and it can be detrimental.  In a previous episode, I discussed how the sole source of energy for our bodies is what we put into it - food. https://www.buzzsprout.com/807851/episodes/8093466
  Eating and drinking the right quantities at the right times and with the right ingredients can make a sluggish person transform into one that is more motivated to move and participate in the daily routine.  Imagine what that would mean for you and your loved one. 

Podcast guest, Leslie, a registered dietician, provides simple suggestions for getting started with the right nutrition and hydration choices.  We discuss how small but consistent changes in one's diet can impact their function and have a general impact on their health.   

Don't be intimidated by not knowing where to start if you currently find yourself battling the "I don't want to eat now" position of your loved one.  Small snacks that are packed with power can be very effective.  Increasing hydration is another challenge that can be met with flavor options and be increased over time.
