We often only notice inadequate nutrition when a skirt suddenly becomes too loose or a belt no longer holds our trousers up properly. But tiredness, lethargy and stress can also be indications of deficiencies. Inadequate nutrition often happens gradually and any diet that does not cover your nutritional requirements bears the risk of poor nutrition.
When age-induced changes affect quality of life, the focus is often on medical questions and drugs. But in people 65+ in particular, a good nutritional status is an important prerequisite for remaining active and enjoying a good quality of life. If we have an unbalanced diet or only eat small meals, we increase the risk of poor or inadequate nutrition. Over a longer time period our body then lacks vital nutrients, and the first symptoms of deficiencies appear.
If you think you are at risk speak to your healthcare professional about Fresubin and how our range of products can be tailored to meet your individual nutritional needs.
