Key Nutrition Care Guidelines
- Protein Focus: Seniors should consume 1.0–1.2 g/kg of protein daily to maintain muscle mass.
- Nutrient-Dense Choices: Focus on foods high in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients but low in calories, such as colorful fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy.
- Hydration: Seniors often lose their sense of thirst; active hydration is necessary to avoid dehydration.
- Limit Empty Calories: Avoid foods with high calories but low nutritional value, including sugary drinks, snacks, and alcohol.
- Prevent Malnutrition: The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics emphasizes using screenings like the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) to identify and manage malnutrition in seniors.
- Menu Standards: Meals should provide at least one-third of the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI), with an emphasis on incorporating protein (e.g., chicken, fish) and nutrient-rich fruits/vegetables daily.
