Healthy Tips
Hydration and nutrition support everyday strength.
Regular fluids and nourishing meals can help people maintain energy and recover well, especially when illness or reduced appetite changes normal routines.
Helpful daily reminders
- Offer fluids regularly unless a clinician has advised a fluid restriction.
- Keep a clean bottle or cup within easy reach and make drinking part of the daily routine.
- Choose balanced meals with protein, vegetables, fruit and suitable sources of energy.
- Ask about food preferences, swallowing difficulties, allergies and prescribed diets.
- Watch for reduced appetite, repeated vomiting, difficulty swallowing or signs of dehydration.
- Record concerns and share them with the person's family or healthcare professional.
Get medical advice promptly
Seek professional guidance when someone cannot keep fluids down, becomes unusually drowsy or confused, or has a sudden change in eating or drinking.
