Protein continues to trend in the media, but not all of the information out there is accurate. As nutrition professionals, we play an important role in addressing misconceptions and guiding patients and communities toward evidence-based recommendations.

Keep reading for our first myth busting post 👇

Myth: Older adults need less protein because they are less active.
Fact: Protein needs actually increase with age to help maintain muscle mass and prevent frailty.

Inadequate protein intake in older adults can contribute to declines in lean body mass, increased frailty risk, delayed wound healing, and impaired immune function. Despite this, protein intake often decreases with age due to factors like reduced appetite, limited resources, changes in dentition, and environmental barriers.

Adequate protein intake supports strength, mobility, and independence—key components of healthy aging.

đź’ˇ Tip: Aim to include a source of protein at every meal, such as eggs, dairy, meat, fish, tofu, or legumes.
Supporting healthy aging starts with what’s on the plate.

As the seasons begin to shift, hydration becomes an important, yet often overlooked, part of overall health.

Many older adults are at a higher risk of dehydration due to changes in thirst, medications, and health conditions. Don’t wait to feel thirsty!

▪️ Simple strategies can make a meaningful difference:
▪️ Offering fluids regularly throughout the day, such as in between meals and at snacks.
▪️ Providing a variety of appealing options like milk, juice, soups, and herbal teas.
▪️ Take medications with a full glass of water.
▪️ Keep a jug of water in the fridge, or on a table in your sitting area. This will encourage you to drink it.

These small, consistent efforts can have a big impact in the older adult population. Prioritizing hydration helps individuals stay nourished, engaged, and feeling their best.

For more information see our post from March 26, 2026 regarding some great education and resources from Fairfield Park, who recently provided education for staff on fluid needs, role, requirements, sources, recommendations and tips to encourage fluid intake.

March marked Nutrition Month, and as we reflect back on this year’s theme, Nourish to Flourish, we continue to celebrate the diverse roles dietitian's play in influencing the well-being of Canadians.

Here at VIDA Dietetics, nourishing residents goes far beyond meeting nutritional requirements. It’s about delivering compassionate, individualized care that supports both health and quality of life.

At Vida Dietetics, we provide:
- Comprehensive nutrition assessments, care planning, and ongoing monitoring
- Supporting complex needs such as dementia care, dysphagia, wound healing, and much more
- Collaborating closely with interdisciplinary teams to balance clinical best practice with resident and family preferences
- Using food and meal service as an opportunity for pleasure, dignity, and connection

Strong nutrition care systems, including quality assurance programs, audits, and education, are essential to ensuring consistent, high-quality outcomes across long-term care homes.

We would like to thank our valued partners and communities for allowing us to be part of your care environments, and for recognizing the important role dietitian's play in supporting health and quality of life.
