Dementia eating and drinking




People with dementia should eat and drink, as some recommend. There are adjustments that have an impact on eating.

Serve meals in a quiet area, turn off the TV and radio, stay away from disruptions, cut food into bite-sized pieces, check that dentures, spectacles, and hearing aids are in place, serve one item at a time, and put away unnecessary utensils.

Offering liquids all day long, keeping a drink close, so the person can see it during meals, using a clear, brightly colored glass or cup so they can see it, and making sure the glass or cup is not too huge or heavy are some tips to help people with dementia with drinking. Water is the best beverage, but it's acceptable to offer other drinks as well. In some cases, flavoring water can encourage people to drink more. A glass should be easy to lift and hold.

Religion and end life part 1

Image
A system of beliefs regarding the origin, character, and function of the cosmos is referred to as a religion. Religion may influence how a person views death, the dying process, and the afterlife. In Christianity, the everlasting spirit is seen as departing from the physical body when someone dies. Jews in Judaism consider death to be a natural process that should be permitted to take place. In Islam the passage from one stage of life to the next is marked by death, which is acknowledged as a component of the larger divine design. In Buddhism Buddhists hold the view that past actions (karma) have an impact on present suffering through the cycle of rebirths, with the aim of breaking the cycle and achieving nirvana. In Hinduism, Hindus hold that the soul undergoes a cycle of subsequent lives known as samsara before being freed from reincarnation, pain, and suffering and achieving enlightenment (moksha).
