Some of the most common food questions I get from my patients and their caregivers. ⬇️

"How do I know what foods are good for me? I'm not supposed to eat a lot of salt or sugar."

"My mom's appetite has changed. How do we make sure she's getting all the right nutrients? We don't want her losing any weight."

"I don't like water, what else can I drink?"

👉🏾 Enter: The Modified MyPlate for Older Adults

These nutrition recommendations have been modified to fit the 65+ population's unique dietary needs?
• food choices are easier to prepare
• food choices have a longer shelf life
• food choices minimize waste
• emphasizes nutrient-dense foods in various forms
• provides numerous sources of liquids (because we all know drinking water can be a challenge!)

Yesterday The Wynter Wellness Group hosted Community Wellness Screenings at The Courtyard Apartments at Riverview in Queen Village, Philadelphia.

Our screenings are a preventative health service that identify adults or seniors who could benefit from speech therapy, additional rehabilitation services (like physical therapy & occupational therapy), or other specialty healthcare providers (like a dentist, eye doctor, or nutritionist).

Does this sound relatable?
🏡 You're not leaving the house as much.
👟 Eating & exercise habits have changed.
👩🏽‍⚕️ You want to avoid an extra doctor or hospital visit if you can.
👀 You’re thinking…maybe it'll go away on its own?

Participating in these screenings can help
🏆you become proactive on your healthcare journey
🙏🏾 lessen the risk of rehospitalizations
🌿 prevent symptoms from getting worse

We can’t wait to help you…be well!
👋🏾 Contact us to set up your own screening. ⬇️
