Spring is here, and we’re excited to bring you another action-packed eBites.
It’s Nutrition and Hydration Week, and in this issue we highlight some of the challenges faced by older people while they maintain their dietary and philosophical lifestyles as vegans and vegetarians. The care sector also faces the challenge of adapting to an increasing population of residents with dietary requirements, and this may sometimes be a learning curve for many people who work in the sector. That’s why we have included a special feature in this issue to focus on nutrition and hydration for older veg*ns. Our 30-minute webinar features expert discussion and practical demonstration to understand and meet the needs of vegans and vegetarians in care.
We also report on the challenges faced by ‘Margaret’, a committed vegan in her 80s, whose story reflects the difficulties of accessing suitable food and social engagement as an older vegan.
Meanwhile, our roving chefs have gone beyond the call of duty to source tasty, nutritious food from their local corner shops on a very tight budget. If you would like to meet our chefs, then please check out our Masterclass series to improve your culinary repertoire.
