Caring for a loved one with special nutritional needs or dietary restrictions requires a thoughtful and personalized approach to feeding and nutrition.
Providing healthy, balanced snack and meal options is essential, but it can often present challenges. For instance, if your loved one has chewing or swallowing difficulties, food and beverage thickeners may be beneficial. However, if you’re unfamiliar with these products or how they work, selecting the right option can feel overwhelming.
To simplify this process for caregivers, we’ve created a comprehensive, downloadable guide to nutrition and feeding.
What Our Nutrition & Feeding Guide Covers
Our Zushki Guide to Nutrition & Feeding addresses many of the common nutrition and feeding questions and challenges that family caregivers face. Since our Care Team frequently provides guidance on these topics, we’ve included answers to some of the most frequent questions, such as:
- Ensuring adequate calorie and nutrition intake
- Managing chewing and swallowing difficulties
- Understanding tube-feeding options
- Increasing high protein intake
- Maintaining hydration and electrolyte balance
- Choosing organic nutrition shakes and snacks
- Addressing nutrient gaps with vitamins and supplements
Additionally, the guide features a section on feeding supplies designed to make mealtimes easier and less stressful.
