🥗 It’s Malnutrition Awareness Week! 🧡

This week, we’re raising awareness of malnutrition — a condition that can affect anyone, especially older adults or those living with long-term health issues.
Malnutrition isn’t just about eating too little — it’s about not getting the right nutrients your body needs to stay healthy and strong.

A balanced diet plays a key role in preventing malnutrition.
Here’s how you can keep your nutrition on track:
🍞 Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables
🍗 Include lean proteins for muscle repair
🌾 Add whole grains for lasting energy
💧 Stay hydrated throughout the day

Good nutrition helps to:
✅ Boost immunity
✅ Improve mood and mental health
✅ Maintain a healthy weight
✅ Reduce the risk of illness and frailty

Remember to Ask, Look, and Listen — check in on yourself and those around you.
If you’re worried about your nutrition or weight loss, speak to your GP or healthcare team.

Together, we can spot the signs early and keep our community healthy 💙
