Let's talk about your nutrition
Nutrition plays a hugely important role in supporting our everyday health and wellbeing, but did you know that getting the nutrition you need can also help you to recover faster from illness and injury, feel stronger in your day to day and support your immune system to function at its best.
It’s not always easy to make sure your body is getting all of the nutrients that it needs, especially when you’re feeling under the weather. While anyone can be at risk of not getting all the nutrition their body needs, you or a loved one may be more at risk if you are:
- 65 years or older
- Living with a long-term health condition (for example lung disease)
- Living with cancer
- Experiencing difficulties swallowing
- Living alone
It’s important to remember that people who are overweight can also be at risk of not getting all of the nutrition they need.
