One in ten people over 65 in the UK is at risk of malnutrition. This has immense physical and psychological implications. Nutrition plays a massive part in healing of wounds, frailty, recovery from illness and depression.
Our cakes are part of our plan to improve the wellbeing of the elderly. We want to help carers and families who support people with low appetites. We need to bring down the figures of malnutrition in the senior generation. Our aim is to publicise the problems and provide advice, recipes and new products.
Our Grand Plan will involve pairing up with charities, health services and other initiatives to highlight and fix the problems of malnutrition in the elderly in this country in the 21st Century.
We will be very involved in the Malnutrition Task Force (MTF) UK Malnutrition Awareness Week which is in October every year.
The aim is to raise awareness and understanding of the risks of preventable malnutrition across different sectors and settings.
Mary Merheim will regularly be writing blogs and adding to our website with recipes and ideas about how to help older people eat.
Our Natural Grandbars are the ideal balance of ingredients to support a healthy diet. Malnutrition in the older generation is common. When a person’s appetite is affected by either age or illness, finding the right foods to ensure they have a balance of good calories and nutrients can be hard.
Grandbars are a great way to help, without the worry of resorting to alternatives that aren’t designed for the elderly. Many protein bars are designed purely for those gaining muscle, losing weight or to add fruit to a child’s diet. Nothing other than a few (very artificial) yoghurts or shakes exists on the market for the elderly and so we decided this gap needs to be filled by our all natural Grandbars.
Our Grandbars are suitable for vegetarians and are gluten free.
We all want to know what’s in our food and that everything we eat is beneficial to us. When it comes to the elderly, knowing if you have a balanced diet becomes even more important. Take a look at our Grandbar Nutritional guides for all the information you need to make an informed choice.
