We collaborated with Talking About My Generation and would like to share with you Jean's tips as a part of "What's for Tea"-series. To stay well nourished she always makes sure she has batch-cooked sauces on standby in the freezer for when she can’t be bothered to cook.

What to do if you look after someone with dementia and they have a decreased appetite? Here are some tips:

1. Prepare their favourite foods. It is more about food for energy rather than variety.

2. Increase physical activity where safe and possible. This often increases appetite.

3. Plan the day around several small meals rather than 3 larger ones as this may be more manageable for them.

Have a look at this booklet that is available to order for further support:
