Walnuts, I mean.
If you're looking for something to have around for your elderly loved one to snack on that requires no preparation and is easy to grab, think of going nuts.
I've got other healthy snack and meal ideas for you, but I was reading this today and thought I'd pass it along. Here's the source: Science Daily
The article states: "Years of research by scientists around the world link regular consumption of small amounts of nuts or peanut butter with decreased risk of heart disease, certain kinds of cancer, gallstones, Type 2 diabetes, and other health problems."
A serving, however, is about 7 walnuts. Not 7 dozen. Try offering 2-3 walnut halves with a mug of tea for an afternoon treat. Herbal tea, maybe with a little honey and/or lemon, will assist in hydration as well.
A gentle look into the world of in-home care, as the end of life approaches. Addressing issues common to care at home, including Dementia, Alzheimers, Incontinence, Sleep, Food Preparation, Mobility, Anticipatory Grief, Fear, ALS, and Dignity. Stop. Listen. Look into their eyes. They have much to teach. Loving and caring for them will enrich your life. Learning how to speak to them and care for them will enrich theirs.
