Food First
The
'food first'21 approach is the term
used for general dietary guidance
to improve food intake.
It includes strategies such as increasing food frequency, modifying food intake and fortifying foods
to increase the consumption of energy and nutrient-dense foods.
Providing
a range of nutritious and appetising food and fluids for people not only improves their health and well-being
but contributes towards individuals enjoying a pleasant experience and supporting those recovering from
illness. Providing a conducive environment and protecting the mealtime without unnecessary interruption
is fundamental to ensuring that activity is focused on the meal and making sure people are ready to
eat.
