\n\tToo often, undernourishment is caught at a late stage, which is detrimental to health given that the longer the problem persists, the greater the likelihood of a downward spiral, with the patient eating less and less. Treating undernourishment requires an array of strategies, from presentation on the plate to oral dietary supplements.<\/p>\n

\n\tStrategies to combat the problem include:<\/p>\n

\n\t1 \/\u00a0Food enrichment<\/h2>\n

\n\tFor persons at risk of undernourishment, enrichment is the usual strategy. It involves increasing the amount of protein and calories in meals without increasing portion size, using powdered supplements.
\n\tOn average, daily intake is increased by 20 grammes of protein and an extra 250 kcal.
\n\tWhere is the extra protein derived from? Here are a few examples of equivalences:
\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\t\t\t\t20g of protein =<\/td>\n\n\t\t\t\t100g of meat or 2 slices of ham
\n\t\t\t\t2 eggs
\n\t\t\t\t100g fish or a small tin of tuna
\n\t\t\t\t600ml milk
\n\t\t\t\t2 portions fromage blanc
\n\t\t\t\t80g grated cheese
\n\t\t\t\t5 portions of soft cheese
\n\t\t\t\t45g milk powder or full fat condensed milk
\n\t\t\t\t20g powdered protein (Protinut\u00ae or Protipulse\u00ae)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n\t
Enriching your diet<\/u><\/p>\n

\n\tEnrichment involves supplementing a normal diet.\u00a0
\n\tThis may be done by adding to the normal diet, or via powdered proteins, enriched preparations or ready-to-eat products.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t2 \/ Dietary supplements<\/h2>\n

\n\tWhen enrichment is not sufficient to curb the problem, or the patient is in an advanced state of undernourishment, oral dietary supplements may be prescribed.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis method can provide an extra 30g of protein and 400 kcal per day.<\/p>\n

\n\tProducts are especially designed for specific uses: drinks, creams, pur\u00e9es, breakfast mixes and soups.
\n\tThe recommended daily intake is one to three supplements.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs their name suggests, dietary supplements should supplement meals, not replace them.
\n\tThey should be taken 1 to 3 times a day to cover the needs.<\/p>\n

\n\tNutrisens has developed a range of dietary supplements to address the symptoms of undernourished people:
\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
