Low appetite, difficulty consuming food, and poor diet quality can result in malnutrition, negatively affecting overall health and well-being of your patients.
Following a plant-based diet can be especially challenging for patients with or at risk of malnutrition due to:
Low protein intake2
Low vitamin D intake3
Low serum levels of vitamin B124
Low intake of minerals and trace elements such as, calcium, iodine, zinc, and selenium2
High energy, high protein ONS**** containing high-quality protein and all essential micronutrients can help tackle the risk of malnutrition without compromising on personal choices5
