Inadequate nutrition is a serious issue in residential care establishments. Poor intake of vitamins and minerals is associated with impaired healing, reduced immune function, and reduction in physical and mental capacity. Lack of food choice and access to suitable nutrient-dense foods all contribute to inadequate energy and protein, leading to weight loss and malnutrition. Our industry partners will work with us to enhance the nutrient density of suitable foods. We will establish the efficacy of foods and supplements and develop strategies to implement a sustainable nutrition-enhancing program that can be introduced to improve health in residential care establishments throughout Australia.

营养不足是寄宿照料机构的一个严重问题。 维生素和矿物质摄入不足与愈合受损，免疫功能下降以及身心能力下降有关。缺乏食物选择和无法获得适当的营养丰富的食物，都会造成能量和蛋白质不足，导致体重减轻和营养不良。我们的行业合作伙伴将与我们合作，提高合适食品的营养密度。 我们将确定食品和补充剂的功效，并制定战略，实施可持续的营养增强计划，以改善澳大利亚各地寄宿护理机构的健康状况。
