Tips to Boost Resident Immunity in Aged Care
Did you know that your diet plays an important role in supporting your immune system?
Eating to support our immune system is important for everyone, but it’s especially essential for the older members of our community. The term ‘immunosenescence’ refers to the gradual decline of the immune system that comes with age. This decline can lead to higher risks of developing health complications like infections, autoimmune disease, and inflammation.
Immunosenescence can be controlled through aged care catering services that are designed to help support all areas of a resident’s wellbeing. Through dietitian-designed menus tailor-made to help residents achieve their daily nutrition targets, care teams and caterers can help improve immunity and promote healthy ageing.
This fact sheet from Cater Care’s team of in-house dietitians explores a few simple tweaks that can bring your aged care food services up to speed and help protect the health of your residents during the cooler months. Click the link below to get started!
