Malnutrition

If you have lost weight without trying or have a poor appetite, you may be at risk of malnutrition. People who suffer from malnutrition have increased risk of falls, poor immunity and other infectious diseases.

The Dietitian will provide recommendations, strategies, meal ideas and recipes to help you meet your energy and nutrient requirements despite a low appetite or inability to eat large amounts. In some cases specially formulated nutrition supplements may be recommended to ensure you receive your dietary requirements. A dietitian can also arrange home delivery of specialised nutrition supplements for those requiring them.
