NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY
A healthy and balanced diet is essential to provide the body with energy and all important nutrients on a daily basis. If a nutrient deficiency occurs due to an unbalanced diet or low food intake, this can quickly affect health and well-being - those affected usually feel weak and listless, tired and depressed, get sick more quickly or only regain their strength slowly after an illness. If there are signs of malnutrition, you should take action early. If normal food intake is only possible to a limited extent, consuming Fresubin ® 2 kcal cream can be a helpful supplement.
SWALLOWING DISORDERS Swallowing
disorders, referred to by doctors as dysphagia, often occur as a result of a stroke, dementia, Parkinson's disease or age-related diseases such as high blood pressure and metabolic disorders. For fear of choking, those affected often eat and drink less, which can quickly lead to dehydration and malnutrition. In the case of swallowing disorders, the consistency of the food is particularly important; creamy foods make it easier to eat. Fresubin ® 2 kcal cream can ensure the supply of energy and important vital substances and counteract malnutrition. In the case of dysphagia, it is recommended to only put small amounts in the mouth and take short breaks in between.
IN OLD AGE
People over 65 are at increased risk of malnutrition. Due to a change in taste perception, problems when chewing and swallowing or an early feeling of satiety, seniors often complain of loss of appetite, eat less or eat an unbalanced diet. The inadequate intake of important vital substances usually manifests itself in significant weight loss, everyday tasks become increasingly difficult and the risk of falls and bone fractures increases. The high-calorie Fresubin ® 2 kcal cream is suitable for supplementing the daily diet and providing targeted intake of energy, protein, vitamins and minerals.
