Nutrition is a vital part of healthy aging. Adequate nutrition and a healthy lifestyle can help keep aging adults out of the hospital and nursing homes. And for those who are hospitalized, nutrition can help keep them from re-admissions. This webinar will cover changes in nutrition and health with aging, how to maintain a healthy lifestyle during hospitalization/rehab and post-discharge, the important nutrients to help seniors age with grace, and how to apply the unique nutrition needs of older adults to menu solutions for your foodservice operations.
