Improving Health and Quality of Life with Improved Nutrition in Residential Care Establishments

在住宿护理机构，营养不足是一个严重的问题。维生素和矿物质的摄取不足与愈合受损、免疫功能降低以及体力和精神能力下降有关。缺乏食物选择和获得适当的营养密集型食物都会导致能量和蛋白质不足，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，提高合适食物的营养密度。我们将确定食品和补充剂的功效，并制定实施可持续营养增强计划的战略，该计划可以引入，以改善澳大利亚各地住宅护理机构的健康状况。

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.
