As the issues faced by the most vulnerable groups in society are brought under the spotlight this March thanks to Nutrition and Hydration Week (14th -20th March) apetito highlights how their meals on wheels service helps the people that need it most, in more ways than one.
During Nutrition and Hydration Week apetito will again be raising awareness about how to avoid malnutrition and dehydration, conditions that worryingly, around three million people in the UK are at risk from. Malnutrition can lead to poorer immunity, greater risk of infection, poor mobility, reduced quality of life and mental health problems. Dehydration can become serious very quickly especially among the elderly with possible effects including dizziness, heat stress, pressure ulcers and increased risks of falls. Our drivers not only encourage customers to eat a healthy meal but also prompt them to have a glass of water on their visit.
The meals on wheels service delivering delicious, hot apetito meals provides an excellent solution to help combat the dangers associated with dehydration and malnutrition. Every meal is carefully created by apetito’s in-house chefs and dietitians to ensure they are nutritionally balanced to support a healthy diet.
The delivery service is more than just a meal to the majority of the company’s customers.
“I am 89 and have no children, seeing the drivers and receiving my meals is the highlight of my day, I honestly don’t know what I would do without them.”
