Living alone

Research has shown that many older people who live alone may not eat well. They may not eat enough to meet their energy needs. They may not be eating the variety of foods they need to provide the essential vitamins and minerals required to maintain good health.

There are many reasons why living alone can impact on a person’s food intake:

• You may not be motivated to cook for just yourself.
• Eating alone might not be as enjoyable.
• You may have limited food preparation skills.
• You may have poor mobility and shopping may be difficult.

If your food intake is not enough or lacking variety, you may benefit from one of the following products from the Sustagen® range.
