As we age, many folks do not get the nutrition that they need for a variety of reasons.  To promote good physical and mental health, it is important for you as the adult child caregiver; to be aware of what is working well, nutritionally speaking, and what is not.  It then becomes an issue of finding ways to improve the nutritive content of your aging parent’s diet.  This book addresses the issues of what to look for and why someone may not be eating optimally. It also provides numerous ideas on how to improve your aging parent’s nutritional health.

This book has an extensive list of accommodations/adaptations that can be made to promote good nutrition and deal with some of the possible causes of a poor diet which you will not find anywhere else.

For a person to live a long and happy life, we know that key factors include socialization, support systems, good health, and mental and physical activity.  In addition, being able to give back to others increases happiness.  Good nutrition is a critical building block to living life fully, and keeping one physically and mentally healthy.
