Many senior nutrition programs are abandoning the conventional way of providing hot meals to seniors every day.
This can also be the reason why meal providers transition to serving healthy and frozen meals with dietary standards and are genuinely crafted with older persons in mind. Here are some reasons why:
Food that has been frozen is immediately preserved and never expires. Inadequately wrapped frozen meals may begin to develop freezer burn. However, this influences the food’s potential flavour. This makes it a fantastic alternative for seniors who might not be able to finish certain dishes as quickly as they formerly did.
Your senior relative won’t have to worry about using up all the berries before they go bad if they keep frozen berries available for smoothies and toppings for yoghurt, cereal, and other foods. That greatly reduces their stress associated with choosing and eating meals.
One thing is sure: having a wholesome dinner is easier to enjoy than ever as frozen meals’ popularity continues to increase. Additionally, they are more customisable because of simple ordering, scheduling, and delivery choices.
Plant Sumo’s home-delivered frozen meals save time and reduce stress for everyone who needs nutrient-rich food, from temporarily housebound patients to older folks searching for an easier method to receive it.
Proper temperature control is a common failure point in many sections of the meal delivery service, production and distribution chain, even though there are numerous causes of foodborne illness. The cold chain or freezing food strategy has become the most effective way to guarantee food safety. Most foodborne illnesses are caused by germs and dangerous bacteria, which cannot thrive at the temperatures at which food is maintained. The greatest strategy to protect senior citizens from foodborne illnesses is to maintain the cold chain procedure from the point of manufacturing till consumption.
Additionally, using frozen meals enables the extension of delivery routes without compromising food safety, especially in remote areas. There is a much smaller delivery window for hot meals.
Food kept at a high temperature also prevents the growth of microorganisms. However, a hot meal gradually loses its appearance, flavour, aroma, and texture. Food becomes dried out, bitter, overdone, mushy, and overcoloured.
Additionally, eating heated or hot meals causes more nutritional loss. Frozen meals are quickly frozen after cooking to preserve their excellent quality, flavour, and nutrition. Additionally, freezing enables the year-round availability of seasonal goods.
Plant Sumo serves 100% plant-based meals to our customers. To maximise our full potential, we adopt the additional option of providing healthy meals to our customers through frozen meals.
Here are some reasons why our plant-based frozen meals are perfect for older adults.
Nearly 50% of older adults aged 65 or older suffer from arthritis. Osteoarthritis, which causes painful joint cartilage disintegration, appears to be an inevitable side effect of ageing. However, it is easily treatable with the proper medication and surgery.
But how can a frozen plant-based meal help in this situation? In small research on the impact of nutrition, persons with osteoarthritis reported much less pain and better functioning. The anti-inflammatory capabilities of the micronutrients found in plant meals may be one of the causes. The primary factor causing pain in arthritis is inflammation. Diets heavy in meat have the opposite effect and generally make the body more prone to inflammation.
In general, our body’s metabolism slows down as we age.
We also need to eat fewer calories and saturated fats when this occurs. The plant-based diet makes people feel full for a much longer period since it is high in fibre. Seniors who follow a plant-based diet do not experience constant hunger. As a result, it aids individuals in avoiding pointless meals that raise daily calorie intake. Limiting meat consumption also improves the absorption of vital nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D, and B3.
The ability to “reverse” the effects of ageing is one of the advantages of a plant-based diet for senior citizens. Human DNA has telomeres, which get shorter with age. The biological age of a person increases with lower telomere length. Diets high in plants help to produce more of the telomerase enzyme. The length of the telomeres can be rebuilt with the aid of telomerase.
Seniors who eat a plant-based diet have greater energy to finish tasks and improve their daily exercise levels. Since digestion and energy are related, eating more plant-based foods throughout the day will give you more energy than eating more meat and dairy.
Plant Sumo offers several meals that include whole grains, quinoa, and almonds, containing stimulating properties that boost your energy levels. Plant Sumo’s healthy meals can help seniors live longer, happier lives since greater activity and daily walks are linked to more happiness, improved balance, and resistance to falls.
We at Plant Sumo value diversity. Who wants to eat the same food every day, right? To help us value diversity, we provide a selection of over ten distinct meals inspired by cultures around the world. You won’t ever get bored doing this! Each portion is between 300 and 400 grams for each meal.
