As we age, it becomes more important than ever to ensure we are getting the proper daily nutrition. However, a number of factors can make this more difficult for seniors, including lack of assistance in their care and medical conditions like dysphagia. It’s important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of malnutrition in the aging population so that we can help them thrive as they age. This article from the Mayo Clinic provides an informative overview of malnutrition in seniors and how to notice its warning signs or prevent it all together.
