How does it work? Who offers this type of service and how much does a meal delivery cost?
Food for seniors
With age, a person can lose up to 1/3 of their muscle mass. The only solution to remedy this is to increase your protein intake.

It is also necessary to ensure that the intake of fluids, calcium and vitamin D is sufficient. All this demonstrates the importance of having balanced and varied meals for the elderly.
In order to maintain their health, seniors must benefit from adequate nutrition.

However, it is difficult for seniors who are losing their autonomy to ensure a good diet on a daily basis (inability to do the shopping themselves, difficulty cooking, depressive state, etc.). In addition, certain chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes or osteoporosis require an adaptation of the diet.
