Working to Reduce Frailty
Posted on Jan 18, 01:16 PM No comments.

As mentioned in my blog about what I have been doing this week, I will be working on tools and resources around frailty in older people who have been discharged from hospital, into the community. We talk a lot about malnutrition but we often don’t talk about frailty.
Frailty is (usually) an age related condition which reflects a state of increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes.

Iron is a mineral needed by your red blood cells, the cells that carry oxygen around the body in your blood (1). Dietary Iron can be found in a variety of foods such as red meat, beans, lentils, dark green leafy vegetables, nuts, dried fruits, and fortified foods (e.g. breakfast cereals with added iron). Getting enough iron has a role in preventing anaemia. Here, Michaela Carrick, BSc Human Nutrition, tells us how to prevent this problem.
