Nutrition Guest Lecture Reflection

My key takeaway points from this lecture were:
1.     Nutrition can be primary, secondary or tertiary prevention
2.     Older adults need more protein than adults but tend to consume less
3.     Loss of even a small percentage of lean body mass can have detrimental effects on the body
4.     Hospital stays lead to loss of lean body mass and malnutrition

Interventions:
1.     Creation and maintenance of a food journal for a group that may be at risk of malnutrition (i.e. older adults, exercise groups, diabetes support group).

2.     Individual meal prep and client education on the importance of a balanced, high-protein diet for older adults.
