Serve Positivity & Independence For Dinner!
How Dining Aids help to encourage those facing dining challenges.
One
of the biggest challenges for people living with dining issues, whether due to Tremors/Shakes from Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s Disease, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Stroke,
Arthritis, Aging or other Handicaps effecting the central nervous
system is the difficulty - and sometimes inability - to feed
themselves, due to the shaking or coordination issues often associated. But help is available.
For
most people, the basic act of getting food from plate to mouth is not
even a consideration. But, for people suffering with Shakes, simply
eating a meal can become an ordeal. The frustration, and oftentimes,
embarrassment, shame or disappointment can discourage eating in public,
with family and friends or even at all. A cycle of malnutrition and
depression can lead to a downward spiral.
Specialty dining tools
are available in a multiple array of options to aid in the daily dining
needs of those suffering from Shakes. These enable individuals to eat
with little to no help, some even gaining the courage to attempt eating
by themselves for the first time in their lives!
With Dining
Aids for Tremors/Shakes; proper nutrients will begin to be received,
confidence will naturally follow while independence and freedom becomes
possible (or are retained) in a self-sufficient lifestyle. The
combination has shown to create and foster positive psychological
effects for users and care givers alike. Dining Aids improve the
all-around quality of life for the users and those caring for them, too!
